A Child’s View of Summer

(To our three-year old): What do you want to do this summer, sweetie?

Fly a kite!

Bounce at the beach! Jump in the sand!

Row a boat with Daddy. Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream!

Try to catch fireflies at night. They will come to my back yard and I will catch one.

But, it’s firey, so maybe I couldn’t catch it.

Pick strawberries, in Daddy’s garden, there! I’d like to pick strawberries with you.

Hmmm….Who said kids need expensive vacations?

Fresh from the Garden

It’s amazing what a little sheep manure can do. We can hardly eat all these radishes, strawberries, lettuce and peppers ourselves – but we’re trying! My husband brought in these radishes to wash up in the sink, and I brought in the two pints of strawberries we picked with our daughter. The way the light fell on them, it just struck me as beautiful, and I had to share.
