Friday, July 13th

Good morning girls and boys,

I hope you had a good week! Lots of sunshine! Did you go swimming? Are you going for bike rides? Did you go to camp? I hope you're writing your summer adventures in your journal! Did you play any dice games?

I did lots of gardening and I made some rhubarb jelly with my Mom. I made so much jelly that I ran out of rhubarb in my garden and in my parents' garden - I had to go buy some at the grocery store! I also went to the farmer's market here in Orleans on Thursday. I bought some yummy strawberries and peas. I love peas. The raspberries in my garden are turning red so every day I go have a snack in the garden and eat raspberries. Yum! Do you like raspberries? Have you had any locally grown strawberries and raspberries? They are so delicious.

Here are a few pictures:
The peas are finally ready in my garden!

This is what Tesla was doing while I was making jelly.....relaxing in front of the fan!
I brought her to the groomer's to get a hair cut. This is what she looks like now:

She always smells so good when she comes back from the groomer's!
