Kira

Tomatoes

I picked these from the yard. There is a mix of varieties.

Here is Kira sleeping. She looks like a little doll. It's not the best picture. It's the best I can do without being able to see on the camera screen. The screen has been busted and I can't figure out how to upload the pictures on my mom's camera. So for now I just take a ton of pictures and hope at least one turns out. Below is the merino fiber I bought to make Kira something nice. It is very soft.

These are some of the morning glory flowers that I have outside the house. The dark ones are a heirloom variety I found somewhere. They turned out to be really nice looking. The color is a little off. They have a little more purple.
This is the first batch of Gravenstein apples we picked for sauce. Some of them are huge. We had to fight the sprinklers to pick these. Aaron did most the picking because he is so tall. I sat on a patch of grass and nursed Kira while Aaron and the boys picked. The orchard was the perfect temperature it was really nice.

Pickles

Theses are the refrigerator pickles that will hold us over until the other ones are done in six months. The six month pickles are pictured below. Thanks to Leslie for the great recipe.
Here are the 30lbs of cucumbers before they were processed into pickles. I managed to find a Magic School Bus book at the library the other day all about pickles and microbes. Con thought that was pretty cool. Perfect time to come across that as well.
