Another Great Week at the Farm

Just got back from another great week at the farm. It was really relaxing, and great to spend time with Paul and Laura and - of course! - niece Helen and nephew Jack. We picked blueberries and swam nearly every day - pool felt great, because it was so hot all week. The kids and I took the horse trail for a long hike one day - here's a picture of the intrepid hikers on the trail, braving heat and bugs and poison ivy!

Jack is very into building things - his favorite cartoon is a show called 'Bob the Builder'. So we got a birdhouse kit which he and Paul built. Good idea for Jack to learn early about using tools! After much debate, it was decided to paint the birdhouse 'John Deere' colors - green and yellow! I imagine it will be home to many happy feathered generations!
