How many teenagers do you know who would let their mom take a picture of your first whisker?! That’s my boy. (Look close, it’s there). #lovehim #growingupfast

What a beautiful site - progress on the house project. And on a beautiful night to boot! #sabbaticalprojects

Phil and Burke working this evening on adding eaves to the workshop shed. #sabbaticalprojects

My farm kids find the most hilarious things to do on these beautiful pre-summer evenings. Them: “hey look - the wheel barrow doesn’t have wheels - let’s attach a strap to it and pull each other in it!” #farmkids #summerevenings

It’s summer shandy time again! LOVE them with #SimplyLemonade and @Boulevard_Beer #Wheat. #yum #summershandy

This is what I came home to tonight: Andy Goldsworthy-inspired rearrangement of the rocks by our front walkway. Thanks Phillip! #creative #andygoldsworthy (P.S. more on Andy Goldsworthy to come)

Phil weeded and then mulched the strawberries with straw yesterday. This will do three things: one, it will keep the weeds from overtaking the plants; two, it will keep the berries from sitting on the muddy ground getting dirty; and three, it will trap moisture to help keep the plants watered. Can’t wait for starwberries soon! #freshfood

What is this incredible little piece of nature? Phil spotted it on a walk out in the pasture this afternoon. Thinking it was a little white flower, he stopped to look at it. Upon further inspection, we realized it was a cluster of some kind of eggs or cocoons. Fascinating the things you see when you open your eyes and look close.

It was a beautiful morning to get down in the grass with the Sunday Morning Chicken. I could watch these crazy birds all day long. #sofunnytowatch #sundaymorningchicken

Phil’s been nursing his blueberries back to health after such a long dry summer last year. Let’s cross our fingers for lots of yummy blueberries this year! #freshfood

Wow, I sure love this boy. 4 more days of school and he’ll be an 8th grader. #icantbelieveit #growingupfast

Barbecued #sweetlovefarm chicken, fresh asparagus, 75 degrees, and a clear sky makes for the perfect evening meal (and short snooze) tonight. #peaceful #thankful

(oh, and a home-brewed beer, too!)

Big bubba sittin’ with his baby bro before school watching the front loader action in the front yard. Hey, this is exciting stuff to a 4-year old, ya know! Actually, it’s pretty exciting for the adults, too. This means progress on the house! #sabbaticalprojects #finishingthehouse

Finley being so sweet and gentle with her Granny. I love how she can steal your heart that way. #love #sweetlove
