Posted on Jun 28, 2008 under CSA, Canning | 4 Comments

This week;
Spinach

Broccoli

Cucumber

Zucchini

Summer Squash

Strawberries

Radish

 

We also purchased a flat of strawberries that we will freeze. The honey was another local find. The Honey Man is less than 5 miles from our house, it doesn’t get anymore local than this! The bees could even be visiting our garden!

Missing the lettuce greens, they were sooo good! I think we will try this recipe

It’s been awhile so here’s a couple for Carter and Skye fans out there ;)

2 Videos

First up, Skye. I just love her ‘moooowwww’ instead of ‘no’. And picking her nose, well, that’s one to embarss her when she’s older ;) I don’t think the ‘moooww’ will last long. I’ve caught her practicing ‘no’ when mooow one is watching.

Second, is teamwork! ‘It’s a lot of job’ says Carter. I call it free labor ;) j/k, kinda! Skye loves to clean, give the girl a wipe and she’ll clean for a half an hour. What fun!

Pictures;
We’ve been busy canning. To wash the tomatoes I put them in the bathtub. Carter says ‘I’ve never seen anything like that before!’

Yes, it’s true. And I’ve never tasted anything better! My version of winter sunshine.

Finally, the kids and I walked the Mackinac Bridge. Well, sort of. It’s the mini Mac and it’s at DSC right now.

and another (better) picture from that day. We love this children’s museum. It’s the best for preschoolers in the greater area.

So, that’s what we’ve been up to. Looking forward to fall. Staring new classes for the kids. Preschool home school, apples, cider, cooler days…..
