Oh how I wish my camera hadn't died in Portland! It is a pity, as there are so many things I wish everyone else could see. We've had a streak of heat, not sure if there is a streak of moisture coming or not, but we desperately need it.
Thomas and I have been spending most non-work hours out on the property. Sure there have been a few nights of drinking with the family, but we usually wait until the sun goes down.
In the last week, Maya made her First Communion. It was a fun occasion. We pre-partied over poker, an impromptu gathering. Thomas and I showed up to drop off a gift for Maya only to discover that we had missed their invitation to come hang out. Sunday afternoon we had a splendid BBQ and enjoyed eating and celebrating some more!
We have been working hard on the garden. Now in the ground carrots, pintos, beets, spinach, and turnips - hopefully making a debut soon. Potatoes, onions, peas, an artichoke, and garlic are visibly growing. And the strawberries and raspberries are in the ground, but I am not sure what to expect for a crop this year. (Maya helped plant the artichoke, spinach, and strawberries!) Oh just thinking about them is making me hungry. Off to sort out supper...
