July, first half

Canada Day

means cupcakes. Red and white.

Evelyn made some doll clothes.

Jennifer decided to work on a dress. With puffed sleeves. To take to P.E.I.

Another morning at the barn.

Nothing for me to do but take pictures.

We have soccer to attend this summer! Three of my kids are helping out this year, and three of them are playing. Fortunately the older three also get to play soccer once a week. It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.

Evelyn looks too little for this job. (she is)

My blueberry bushes are growing blueberries! There are practically as many blueberries as leaves.

Another sewing project by Evelyn. This one is a rag doll? Sock doll? A doll.

More sewing by Jennifer.

Daniel is not so much into the sewing. But he proudly wore his soccer name tag for the rest of the week. I think he enjoyed soccer.

I planted some cilantro, dill, chamomile and mint down in the garden down the hill. And found my potatoes coming up again from last year. Those are "weeds" I don't mind having. Free food. :) I guess we didn't dig up the potatoes thoroughly enough last year.

Some serious sewing is going on here. I don't really approve of them climbing on the sewing table. Good thing Philip made it good and strong.

Daniel is enjoying his summer. A light morning job. No school. Lots and lots of free time.

Soccer again. This keeps us pretty busy for July. Something exciting to look forward to in an otherwise quite summer.
