We tried out the local swimming beach for the first time this year and the kids loved it. Apparently I didn’t take any pics of kids actually swimming though. ha He always tries to make the dog pose if he see’s me taking a pic. So far I have only killed some things so I am calling this a win.

Will need to tweak some things for next year though.

I am hoping to have two raised beds in this spot next year. This reminds me that I need to make something with those blackberries I froze.

After seeing a bunch of worms on the ones in the fridge last year, I made sure to freeze soak them and freeze them this year.

Then I will make them into something because, gross.

My youngest son is perfecting his barreling walking skills, this has to count as an elective right? I love walking outside and seeing lots of things growing.

I don’t enjoy all the bug bites that come with it…

Hopefully now that the dry heat of summer is setting in I can still keep these plants alive!
