We started receiving our CSA box this last weekend from a local family farm. We dream of having enough land to grow our own summer bounty in the future, but in the meantime, we're just happy to have fresh vegetables.
Walter and I did a little foraging and found a large patch of blackberry brambles as well as a few apple trees. We brought home what we could and made a delicious apple-blackberry cake adapted from the Joy of Cooking. If we weren't in the process of moving, I'd be trying my hand at making applesauce and putting it away for the winter.
Matthew helped me to build a small herb-drying rack for the pantry, and I've been drying handfuls of oregano, mint and tarragon on it.
I've also got bundles of lavender hanging up.
Walter, at slightly over ten months old, is eating everything we are and has no fear of strangers. He waves and claps his hands and laughs when we do. I can't help but love him more each day that goes by!
