This summer feels so different to me than the other summers since we had kids. Having lived in the valley for so long now, I am finally feeling that I am gaging the seasons better and planning activities for us accordingly. Starting the experimental garden at our backyard has helped me to watch the seasons like a good farmer should (Thanks to all my friends who have gardens in their backyard and have encouraged me to do so too!) This year we have had plenty of time to go swimming at various public and private pools, biking, playing in the playgrounds, going for walks after dinner with friends, a trip to the Cape with Katy and her lovely family (joined by Fabby at the beach for one day), weekly farm share picking, library reading program, etc. Fei Fei is taking her swimming lessons with LSSE and is a Tiny Tuna right now. Jun Jun has been watching his big sister do swimming and is also learning to hold his breath at the bath tub. They are both getting a good tan!
At Mark's command, everyone made a goofy post before the ocean.

Hi Julia! I just clicked over here from your email about the meteor shower. I really like you blog! Great summer photos, and gardening pictures, and I enjoyed the story about the eggs. We have chickens now and have really been enjoying fresh eggs at home. Talk to you soon!
