July (and some June) in pictures

It’s been awhile since we have posted consistently so here are some pictures from July. We have an toddler into the mix as well; a dear friend is on bed rest during her pregnancy and we are helping care for their daughter. It’s been fun having a little one in the house again!

I went to the annual Charlotte Mason retreat in Stone Mountain GA. I look forward to it every year!
Our snake friend who lives on the property.
No waste. We dehydrated the peach peels (from canning peaches) as a yummy snack
All the kids have been working out with me. It’s so fun!
Our first harvest of elderberry for the season
Taking them off the stem is the most time consuming part
The house smells amazing when we make the syrup
