Busy, busy!

Okay, okay, I promised pictures, but I haven't taken a one. We've been really busy putting the learning center back together for the start of school. Anni started today. Alex finished his classes and has a week off before he begins again. Ari restarts her college classes near the end of September. She got an A in her summer class. (You go girl!)

Today, the farmers pruned the garden. We attacked some overgrown shrubs first. Then it was time to trim the alder and the neighbor's plum tree which had grown so far over the fenceline as to shade the back half of the garden patch. Everytime, we trimmed a branch, a cluster of plums (I believe these were greengage plums) bonked us on the head. Some were very ripe! We returned the good plums to our neighbors along with some tomatoes, zucchini, and a jar of jam. We harvested 12 more zucchini, gave 4 to our neighbor, and 3 became dinner. Zucchini 100: 81 + 12 - 7 = 86 to go.
