Long and lovely (and BUSY) summer...

I was clearly a terrible poster this summer, the first half of the summer was insane on my block, which included 2 shootings and a police raid. They're all gone now, and we have new families in both of those houses.
In the meantime, we celebrated May Day with the big parade,

went camping with friends




spent the 4th of july with family at the cabin,

(henry decorated his brother ben for the holiday.)
I did some pickling with ladies,

grew a lot of tomatoes,

and we had to a whole lot of construction on the house, thanks to PPL.
(more on that to come...)
