It was a great slow day yesterday at school. We worked on making beads to paint and string from earth clay. The children enjoyed just hanging out.

We had a barbecued chicken lunch with corn on the cob, baked biscuits and fresh nectarines and a green salad with garden grown tomatoes.

Our garden is producing blackberries, cucumbers and tomatoes and basil which we are using in our homemade sourdough bread. We are expecting peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes and beans.

Today is launch day for several kids at the pool. We’re going to see who is swimming and who is ready to take the big plunge in the deep end. Nearly every child is going under – even Bill! It’s going to be hot, so we’re going to be tired! You have to save your energy with lounge days at school.

I got this little movie from Susie E – just click here!
