I'm loving the garden this summer. Oh, and wild berries. What's better than picking something delicious that just grew there without having to pay a thing or do any work at all? Nothing, I say.

i love the mountains (chiggers and all), especially with a view of the river and a path to that river through the woods--a path freckled with currant bushes. oh and a hammock strung between two trees with a perfect view of the river. that's where we spent our 4th of july. the kids seemed to grow new skin, brighter eyes, and breathe easier on that mountain...

Definitely trips to the river. Sips of honeysuckle, messing with mud in the back yard, climbing trees, inspecting bugs, and puddle hopping have all been mixed in. Our future holds peach picking, blueberries, and sandy shores. Hooray for summer nature!
