home grown

No apologies for my absence. I started this post weeks ago, but that's just how things are going these days. As you can see, we've been busy growing and making all kinds of things around here.

Pigs and chicks...future food, not pets
 

                                                400 water balloons at Molly's 13th birthday party
                                                       A homemade tiara makes her official

                                                                              July 4th
                                        Blackberry crumble from the berries in our back pasture
                                        Homegrown Beet and carrot slaw via Deborah Madison
                                                    (do you think she's a VA Tech fan?)

                                              Green beans are on the menu every 3 days or so
  
Lazy summer days for this cowpoke
                                                      The basil plants were huge, but no more
                                                                 Baby #4 is on the way!
