Summer bounty

Every time I post a blog entry I have to re-learn how to do it...passwords, formatting pictures and text. Sometimes I can only manage to do one thing at a time. Pictures one day, text the next. In case these pictures don't explain them selves (like the one below), I'll walk you through.

Above is one of the first decent harvests from the Chambers Family Veggie Patch. Its been relocated and expanded in 2009. Earlier in the summer we had great luck with lettuce and peas, and now we are loving the early tomatoes! Do you recognize the fruit at the very top? A fig! Thanks to Mrs. Dobbins we have several bushes full of fruit, but this was the only one anywhere near ripe for now.
Sangria for a baby shower with the neighbors. We have great neighbors. And this was great sangria.
Ice cream cone cup cakes on the back stoop with some of said neighbors (not the same ones the who enjoyed the sangria).
This isn't the greatest photo, but we had such a fun time that I wanted to document it. A couple Mondays ago we went to Pilot Mountain. Within the first 10 minutes, B discovered a "hideout" and rejected all encouragements to hike anywhere else. So we stayed on this outcrop all morning, blowing bubbles, snacking and playing The Three Robbers. The best part about the game was that A's Baby got re-named Tiffany, from the story, and now A calls her "baby Sniffany."
