Hello Again

Hello again out there my readers! 

Yes, it’s been a very long time since I last posted. 

I have to say, this past couple of years has been very interesting here in our world. 

We moved, yet again, had a new little addition to our family (Baby Z pictured above with me), just to name a couple things. 

It has been a time of ups and downs, and many  twists and turns…stretching and growing in many ways. 

I am looking forward to blogging on a regular basis again. 

This week I will be sharing some photos, thoughts, and fun from our summer this year.  I hope you enjoy it!

Berry Pickin’

This is my cousin, Sharee, and her girls…and my girls…and Li’l K.  We all went berry picking last weekend.  We were trying for huckleberries, but didn’t find much except a few for munchin’ on.  So we switched to sarvis berries.  They aren’t as fantastic as huckleberries, but they were plentiful and the kids had fun picking and eating them. 

First we drove out to the ranch that Sharee and her husband used to work on when they lived here several years ago…wow…it’s more than several years now!  Time goes by too fast! 

We also found a handful or two of Oregon grapes.  The kids didn’t like these too much.

I thought Li’l K was going to eat herself sick on sarvis berries.  She was so cute!

  

As you have probably noticed…there are no photos of berries that have been picked.  Well, the reason for that is very simple.  We ate all the huckleberries we could find so there was little to no evidence that we had picked them.  And we got such a small amount of sarvis berries each that I just didn’t take a picture…that and I was too busy picking to think about it until we got home.  Oh well.  Maybe next time.

 

The day was so wonderful.  Time spent with family out in the country.  Nothing could be better!

‘Tis the Season

‘Tis the season for fresh local cherries….

…and strawberries from PlowGirl Farm.

And who knew…

…that watermelon was such a funny fruit?

Hope you are getting to enjoy the fruit of the season too.
