Evening Walk

 

Wandering around the farm in the evening...

Don't You Love a Good Yoke?

I'm a sucker for knitting yoked sweaters. And the beginning pictures are always my favorite :)

 

July So Far...

The farm may be closed for the summer but it's still bustling with activity.

Knitting lessons are happening outside at night. Liz is teaching crochet and other craft classes under the tents during the day and in the evenings. We had fun at our local town fair, cousins and sisters hanging out. Beach time, walking at Manasquan Reservoir (5 miles is way longer than I realized!!!), reading, knitting, hanging out, working, keeping critters cool. It's already been a busy July!

Summertime....

It's been so hot here! I don't like the humidity. I'm a super complainer!!!!! Our house doesn't have central air so it's hard to get cooled off when not in a pool or at the beach. So what did I do? I turned my oven on and baked and cooked. Oops. Totally worth it though! I made these two recipes and they were delicious!!!!!!!! I served the tomatoes and cheese on crostini and it was heaven on bread. The Lemon Shortcakes with Basil Berries was delicious too. I highly recommend both! And homemade whipped cream is always a good idea.

Here's a collection of photos from the past few days :) Hope you're not melting!!!!
