Holy crap, it's mid-July!

Summers are so busy, and they fly by! But at least that means we're having fun. ;) Between the garden and our CSA (1/2 share) we have more veggies than we know what to do with. We picked a bunch of pie cherries from R's boss' tree the other day, he's going to make a sour cherry beer, and I'm going to make my favorite pie- cherry blackberry. It will have to wait until the berries are ripe though, of course! We got a decent number of sweet cherries from our little tree, and the blueberries are ripening now. I need to call the organic blueberry farm down in Langlois to find out if they are open for picking yet. Hooray for summer produce! I know I promised pics, but they are now a month old, so I'll have to take some more.

I was going to make pea & prosciutto pasta for dinner tonight (using our multitude of home-grown sugar peas), but then I remembered I have book club. It's weird feeling so busy! We had a Japanese cooking class Monday to make up for the one a few months back that was entirely sushi based (the description said "learn Japanese cooking beyond sushi" so we complained & got to attend this additional lesson). I still don't know how to make a good teriyaki chicken though. We were supposed to go visit my Mom & Aunts during their week at Kalamath Falls, but couldn't because of the class, sadly.

Being busybusy means I don't have any finished knitted objects to show off here. (Well, I did knit a couple tiny slugs & snails as gifts.) I'm still working on the shawl & ballet pullover & I started the linen cardigan. I hope to enter a couple things in the county fair at the end of the month. I haven't spun any since my "lesson" though, which is kind of sad. I love how gorgeous & active the summers here are, but I also love the more slow times during the winter when I actually feel productive.

Another thing that's been taking up much of what free time I have is researching for our girls' trip in Oct- final destination: San Francisco! I would love any advice!
