Jay, Charis and I picked bushels of carrots and onions and rhubarb today - a beautiful bountiful crop. Though we're scratching our heads about what to do with the hundreds of onions. Good keepers, those onions, so we'll be enjoying them through the winter.
Chris, Ellis and I have spent too much time away from the farm these past few weeks, but we've also enjoyed some time with Chris's family in Perham, Minn, including Nana who we see far too little, and good bonding time for Ellis with Grandma Mary and Uncles Michael and Dan.
We are trying to carry on with life as normal as we all wait for baby Collins to arrive. Charis looks fabulous, despite the fact that her belly feels like it is going to give way to gravity and drop to the floor at any minute. I can't wait to be an auntie any day now, and then again in February!!
Here are a few of my favorite photos of the past couple of weeks. Ellis is becoming such a character - crawling, climbing, laughing, babbling. He is a beautiful blessing and I so look forward to seeing him become an older brother/cousin. I'm off to sit in the hot tub - the first night in weeks for a soak as it's been an OVEN here in the old midwest. It's a beautiful, cool summer evening. A great way to end a day of harvest.

I wish we lived there with you guys. One big family. Your garden looks wonderful. My lonely planter of tomatoes is finally starting to turn red. It's friggin' hot here, much like the midwest. Can't take much more of the heat. Charis looks so beautiful in all her pregnant glory. Makes me think of how wonderful it was to be pregnant. Can't wait to see you all in August. Just a few more weeks.
Oh, it all looks so heavenly! Your garden rock border is fantastic. And all of that rhubarb! Mmm...you're going to be making up some wonderful treats, I'm sure. Fresh onions are awesome - we're still enjoying ours from the CSA. Jealous of your harvest!
How's Charis? Any baby yet?
