The beach

We had a great Curt's Birthday weekend at the beach. I love this time of year at the beach--the deep blue sky, the dark shadows, the warmth of the sun and the chilly evenings. We slept with the windows open. Curt and I both took the kayak out on the lake. An osprey swooped down and caught a fish, then sat in a tree in our yard to eat it. I also saw two otters in the other lake playing and eating. This picture is of Eli shelling a bean off a nearby tree.

Curt's new Keens.




This is our front door. We've had a ton of tomatoes from one tomato plant. It's a monster! Our other plants have grown like crazy, too. It's like in James and the Giant Peach. What exactly is in that beachy soil?
