It is good.

We're back home and still not quite up to full-steam. The photos are still on the camera.  But we've been having lovely summery things happen to us and here are some of them, so I don't forget:

• playing in the irrigation
• snowcones
• hiking the most beautiful, newly discovered trail in the canyon
• soccer times three---oh, yeah!
• corn on the cob
• grilled pizza with garden harvests (try this one:  tomato sauce, garlic, tomatoes, kale, basil, leftover corn, mushrooms, cheese.  Or this one:  bbq sauce, leftover bacon, corn, kale, basil, cheese)
• farmers' market (where I purchased 1/4 of a cow!....and beets, basil, carrots and eggs)
• minor surgery for Asher (ok, so this isn't lovely, per se, but it went very well and the kids spent the rest of the morning eating popsicles and watching movies)
• raspberry picking with splendid views--7 lbs...and more next week.  They'll help me to rival Celia's pies.
• freezing beets and pesto
• hanging out laundry (one of my loves...silly, but true)
• camping under the stars (ok, so it poured at 1 am)
