Long Breaks

So the snow stopped, the rain began and continued for sometime, and now here we are in the beautiful sunshine of summer.  This is quickly becoming my once or twice a year blog.  We have been working hard on our backyard (the front yard is next years projects).  It is slowly coming together and feeling more and more like ours.  We are growing things like crazy (beans, lettuces, spinach, sunflowers, carrots, pumpkin, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cilantro, basil, thyme, sage, corn, strawberries...and enjoying raspberries, blueberries and soon to be apples).  Of course all these yummy things are helping to grow our Lizzie, Ellie, Gracie and Sera.  Most of the raspberries, blueberries and strawberries never make it into the house with all the anxious harvesters watching as they turn to their beautiful blue and red colors.
