And then there was June.

It's been a pretty quiet month for us. We leave tomorrow for our annual trek to North Carolina, so we've been relaxing and preparing as we count down.

We went strawberry picking last week. Then we hacked back the rhubarb and threw together enough strawberry rhubarb freezer jam to see us through until next strawberry season.

We finally started eating on our own leafy greens! I'm a little sad to be leaving the garden for three weeks just as it's starting to really produce. 

And there has been a lot of this corner perching going on while mama works on jam or kale chips. We recently got the Ramona audio books, and the girls will sit and listen for hours! It's been our new rhythm now that the more structured school days have faded out--everyone gathers round the kitchen to listen and cook. I can dig this for the next few months!

Now off to vacation!
