Blueberry Sunday
We spend a good part of today at Windsong farm (in Pomfret, just a little past Ashford). The weather was beautiful, sunny and slightly breezy, and the blueberries were at their peak. We took home a few buckets full, and had a good time doing it.
Julia getting started:
The Bounty:
Soon afterwards, the nieces showed up, and started picking "for daddy".
Relaxing after the picking.
Being silly about the loud noises heard in the distance.
When Aiyana is running around, it's hard to take a picture of her.
Monkeying around:
Back to the car (fell asleep in 2 minutes!).

Nuwasitty!!
Julia was pretty excited to go to New York on Saturday. We'd talked about it the previous weekend, but decided not to go because of rain. This weekend was just gorgeous so headed out there for the day. We didn't really see much of NYC, since we went straight from Grand Central to Central Park and back.
The Patootie had a blast walking around, seeing all the dogs, and playing in all the playgrounds.
I went without coffee for the day (!!), since I forgot to get some before we left the house, and then couldn't find a place that sold coffee in actual cups (only paper cups). Resolutions have a price, I guess.
There's something about NYC that brings out the romance...
Further North in the park, not watching a live show of some sort.
2 guys playing very cool music (sounding a little Peruvian, maybe?)
One of the elaborate playgrounds, full of kids and their parents...

Catching Up
A few days ago, having fun.
This morning, 9:45, after having woken up at 5, asked for a bagel, and fell asleep while eating it...

July 4th Party
We were invited to an awesome party on Friday (July 4th), to Patty and Andy's house. A gorgeous back yard, a big swing, outdoor firepit and hot tub (we did not use it :( ) , great people and good food. Oh, and a live band and fireworks too.
Julia on a big swing.
The Mocanu girls looking pretty. The dog is Rose, an elderly lab.
Good Rose.
Uncle Ed, looking pretty.
The live band.
Thanks for a great evening!

Some in Black & White
The nieces spent a few hours with us this morning - and we all had a good time.
I've been looking at Roxi's friend Marcia's pictures of her kids, often in B&W with a little sepia, and I really like the look. It's not quite the same as these, but I thought I'd experiment. Here are the 3 girls:
