The usual crowd hanging out around the house.
I watched Bambi's mother here turn around and chase a loose dog right into the river, yelping all the way, literally running for his life. Poor old fat lab, maybe he'll think twice before he chases a deer again. Or maybe not. Instinct rules. Never a dull moment with the wildlife.

Tom showing off his bountiful cherry harvest. See it? Lots of teasing here. Nevertheless, his orchard is coming along and the trees survived another brutal winter on the hill.
As usual, an amazing garlic harvest expected in the fall. These are called garlic "scapes," the stalk of a blossom snipped from each plant in the spring so the bulb can form.
Scapes are delicious. A cross between fresh green beans and mild garlic. They're an expensive gourmet delicacy, if you can even find them in farmer's markets. And especially good pickled, according to Amanda. My project today.
Last but not least, we went up to the property yesterday and spotted this little gypsy girl picking strawberries and wildflowers.
