We are in the midst of harvesting our garlic. Garden partner Andri planted about 15 pounds of sets so there is a LOT of garlic. We are spreading the work out over a couple days. The weather this week has been sunny and cooler, and it's been lovely to spend more time outside. Avery and I made pesto twice in the last week. This is the first summer I have used a mortar and pestle for pesto making and wow, what a difference! The flavor is fantastic. We follow Viana La Place's recipe from Unplugged Kitchen. Avery made one batch almost entirely by himself.

I've also been working on craft projects- click the links to see more at my craft blog, Duo Fiberworks- I made a Small Doll with a dog for my nephew Isaac's 3rd birthday

and I am learning how to carve spoons! How exciting. 

We've also been working in the garden planting fall crops, weeding and, finally, harvesting!
