End of Summer

Julia was helping pick the last few tomatoes from the garden. The temperature went below 0°C last night for the first time this year, making it the unofficial end of summer for us.

Checking out a green tomato.


Actually crawling into the tomato cages to pick up the fallen ones.

Yes, More Bakerwoods

Yes, more Bakerwoods.

Lately, we can't get enough of this place. Part of the reason is that Julia loves walking around all the animals there. Another reason is that it really is a beautiful place, especially in the fall.

A Walk in The Woods

Last Sunday was one of those great days for walking in the woods - cool but sunny. We had a very nice walk with Andy and Marcia, followed by sandwiches and cake... :)

Benjamin & Company

Benjamin & Company came down to our little home for a long weekend.

Always full of energy, he really enjoyed the slide:




Julia stayed out of the way:


But even Benjamin has limits...


Julia and Aunt Susie read books and played together.






More pictures to come in a day or two...
