Summer

Summer!  Ah, summer...it's here!  Time to put the chocolate chips in the freezer so they don't melt in the cupboard.  Time for popsicles!  Of all flavors.  Including chocolate.

Time for blueberry picking!

...and blueberry lemonade!

With the heat spiking rapidly, we also needed more inside activities.  I never would have guessed these letter worksheets would have been such a big hit!

We have been doing pretty well at keeping a few tomato plants alive this year. We decided not to try again at a big garden this year, and just have some tomatoes, basil, and pepper plants.  Much more manageable!  Since we have so few they all fit in the flower beds in front of the house, so it's so easy to take care of them!  I realized that previous gardens suffered from the "out of sight, out of mind" location that we put them in...oops!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summertime full of watermelon, sprinkler play, popsicles... and maybe some firefly catching? :)
