Summer Fun!

Well, the summer is winding down. The days are getting shorter, the nights are cool. We have managed to have alot of fun this summer, though.

As Mama Hayes mentioned in her last post, she "conned" me into coming home early yesterday (it didn't take much convincing!). O' awoke form her nap shortly after I arrived, and Mama had the fun idea of building a fort in the living room. We spread an old sheet across a couple chairs, climbed in and read books, had some snacks and played away the afternoon. A great memory for this Daddy!

This morning, we got out the door by 7:30 to go to the farmers market, which goes rain or shine, and it was rain this morning. Thunder and lightning on the drive down, torrential downpours. Mama was a little worried, but I thought it would be fun. Our kid-pack has a great rain cover, and Olivia was plenty well protected. We almost had the place to ourselves, which was fun, but the farmers were definitely bummed about the bad turnout. It cleared up later, and hopefully the crowds arrived!

Afterward, we went to Grandpa Peter's place for a yummy breakfast of quiche with garden fresh veggies and some fun playtime! After all this, it was family nap time.

We spent the afternoon with Marshal, Christy and Everett at the CSA they are members of. They were having a corn boil, which was a blast. Great food, good company, and a beautiful setting.

The humidity is here now that the storms have passed, and I am bakling bread and listening to the radio. Tomorrow we will go to church and off to Grammsie's for a Brats (from the farmers market), corn (form our CSA), and a yummy raspberry desert.

I hope you all are enjoying the dog days, love and God bless!
