...the third (&final) picking, now in jars in the cellar. The process of getting all these lovely beans into their jars made for a very late night, which made this post by Charlotte Siems about getting through those tough days incredibly timely.

The Lake
Kind of looks photoshopped, but it's not!
See, same awesome sunset, no flash.
Throwing rocks, trying to make the biggest splash.
Pure gold!
Pure blue - wild blueberries that is. They grow on little 6 inch tall sprigs of bushes, you eat the berries, the mosquitoes eat you - but they're worth it!
We LOVE the lake!
Best friends!
Commence building the sand fortress!

Summer Science
So we found a cocoon/chrysalis in the flower bed, put it in some damp soil, and voila, a week or two later, one huge moth emerged! See how tiny the wings are at first?
It took hours for his wings to fully expand.
Hours of fun with a magnifying glass and newspaper (no living things!) on a sunny summer day!
What happens when you microwave Ivory soap? Besides your whole house smelling like soap for hours?

Blue Potatoes!
We love Russian Blue potatoes!
The "Caribe" variety are lovely too, with bright purple skins and white insides.
Mmmmm, Martian Mashed Potatoes!
Yummy, even if they do look strange!
