Making like the mustard and ketching up.

Okay, okay, it's been a few days since our last post. Here's the ketchup:

Anni continues cooking. Here she is measuring out the cream cheese for a pastry crust.
Anni graduates from Pasta and Pastry camp.
Anni continues to COOK, along with the rest of the family. Here's this week's cooperative farm dinner. Anni and mom made the desert - rustic plum and cherry tart with a hazelnut butter crust. Ari made the garlic tossed greens. Alex made the pesto sauce for the pesto chicken with tomato, and David made the roasted baby potatoes with rosemary.
Today's mini haul from the garden. Lettuce, tomatoes (both ended up in my lunch), sugar peas, green beans, chives, and a chard leaf (all ended up in Alex and Anni's lunch), and a handful of berries (which we ate for our morning snack). Hmmm.
Big green tomatoes on the vine. I did tons of garden work this weekend: trimming tomatoes, weeding, transplanting lettuces, weeding, deadheading the daisies, weeding, redirecting squash vines, weeding, and harvesting herbs. Did I mention weeding?
Our bed full of pollinator attracting flowers.
The Asiatic lily blooms!

A flicker visits the back yard.
Another view of this fine fellow. He was joined by two more flickers, right after I pocketed the camera.
The guys in action constructing the green house.
And engaging in a little construction ballet.
Dude duets even!
The green house is coming together (and hasn't fallen apart yet!)
You go construction crew!
