home

The french family and my family did well together while I was gone.  Their eldest boy went to school with Clive and both boys had a great time. The tractor was fixed, fences built, barn roof repaired, and the truck was repaired.  I learned how to make mayonnaise.

Things continue to grow.  The grapes are amazing, hard to imagine these little guys full size!

We are still watching to see if these turn in to kiwi's. 

We hung CD's in the cherry tree hoping to get the cherries before the birds.

My blueberries are coming along.  We also found raspberries when doing some clearing!  

The roses came out while I was away.  They need some TLC, but they really are beautiful.  The kids love all the different plants and flowers, there is always something new to see.

Now I try to prioritize.  I can't do it all, even though I want to.  We'll take a break from wwoofers for awhile, and just enjoy what we have here and now.  Summer has eluded us, we hope for warmth and sunshine, but try to make the most of these cloudy, windy days.  It is fun having Clive home full time, the boys play together, daddy is getting a good workout.
