the few weeks the grandchildren visit in august is packed full with fun, adventure, happy times and lots of love. it's my favorite time of year (after thanksgiving weekend when all the family comes to the farm). because those weeks are everything grandchildren, not much else beyond the bare minimum gets attention. thus, no miscellaneous entries for the last few weeks.
one of the activities megan, jacob and i do every year is make jam. this year we made jam with strawberries that we grew here on the farm. and peach jam made with locally grown peaches. besides preparing the fruit for jam, we had our fill of tasting the fruit (there's always more fruit than is necessary for jam just for nibbling).
they enjoy whimsical wednesday so activities are selected during their visits that they will especially enjoy. there are several acitivies that are reserved for doing when they are with me and i am looking forward to doing those together.
on the journey back to their home we saw a license plate from oregon. and another one from nevada. that leaves seven state license plates to spy on the road. it's amazing we have seen 43 states in less than a year's time.
