Very Late Evening Hike

This summer we have let Sam a lot of long naps in the afternoon so that we can do stuff in the evening when it is cooler.

Off to the Garden

Lots of weeding to do.

A little cooking

"GORP" cookies to thank the firefighters. Peanut butter cookies with chocolate covered raisins. Yum.

Apricots from Tony and Ann Marie's tree.

I would love to find a recipe that was low sugar. But I'm too new canning to experiment too much. I tried that once with apple sauce with Danielle. The apple sauce was awesome, but the jars that we didn't eat right away got moldy. So, this is my first try. Keith helped a lot!

Pretty jam.

My favorite wildflower. Shooting Star. The wildflowers were going nuts when we were up there.
