July and August 2003

Bloomin' Artichokes, it is summer!

We've made some progress in the kitchen...

Wheat????

or Straw??? It is high...

more mowing....

and some limbing!

Uh oh, the tractor is overheating...

Fairie Circles????

Echo at age 1!

Mowgli at 6 months!

A laid back 4th of July...

Annetta turns 30!

Family gathers...

Always time to eat...

This is coooool! Movies in the orchard "a la bug lamp..."

Camping works too!

We tear out walls to make our den...

Our "new windows" - we like it!

   

It's a dog's life - Sophie naps...

We decide where we want the orchard to end and take out some small trees....

Summer took over - we love every minute and learn to get up early, crash mid-day and put in a few more hours before dusk.... the starry starry nights, shooting stars and all are mesmerizing!
