We have a pool table set up in the barn.  We've been having fun going out there to play against each other.

This is the biggest watermelon we have growing (or rather, the first- the rest may catch up).

I believe this is a young cedar waxwing.  It's tail was surprisingly orange.

We're going to try using straw around the tomatoes this year instead of staking them.

I sewed up a laptop bag.  Most of the fabric was from clothes the kids have outgrown.

It's been hot, and the pool has gotten up to 89, which is almost too warm to go swimming.  On the bright side, there is no need to 'get used' to the water temperature.

We had a fun game of Fluxx tonight.

We went to the farm to help with the last of the hay.  It was in the mid to high 90's, so the boys and I took turns following the baler, especially since we were on the steep part of the knob.  I also took a couple time lapse videos, and finally figured out a way to compress them so they are small enough for me to upload.  It's fun to watch, there's so much going on.
