Life has been busy this month but we are enjoying having the windows open, the beautiful weather and many nature outings. Here are some pictures of our life this month.

The kids built a fire and had so much fun! They were pretending to be survivalists.

Adam has worked so hard not only growing our food but making the kitchen garden look beautiful. We have a few other garden plots in other areas of the yard, but this is our “potager” garden.
