This one is for you Danelle!

It gets quite hot when we walk home from church at 2pm so we decided to take umbrellas today to keep the sun off us on the way home. Bad idea! There was a lot of wind today and Jaxson didn't fare so well with the gigantic golf umbrella. Everyone must have thought it was a parade because lots of people honked, waved and yelled out their car windows to us. Umbrellas do draw a lot of attention when there are five of you all strung out along the sidewalk. But at least no one got hit by a car! So this one is for you Danelle, wish you had been there to see the circus!

Peaches!!

We picked all the peaches from our little tree out back today and had the whole family out back helping scald, peel, slice and bottle the fruit. We got 21 quarts done and on the shelf! Jaxson had to take a break from all the work (he really was a good little helper) to blow dry his wet socks.

The kids wanted to do more peaches, last year we ran out and they do love their peaches with dinner. We did plant another peach tree this year, hope to get some peaches from it next year. The house is sort of a wreck, but at least the sticky peach mess was all outside and we just hosed everything down at the end.
