Goodness me, where does the time go? I'm having a twinge of vertigo whilst looking at the calendar and realizing it is well past half of July! We finally got the go ahead on Summer with the weather turning golden on the 4th. Since then we have been well and truly Summering. So, I have "unplugged" and busied myself with the great outdoors and some wonderful times with my girl (& The Engineer when he is home from work) during the school break. I have even been so caught up in the doing and living that my camera keeps getting left behind and all I have to show are a few quick snaps from my phone!
There has been a bit of feasting from the garden...
There have been picnics in the park...
A good amount of monkeying around on playgrounds...
A quick pickle here and there...
As well as a not quite so quick bit of pickling...
There have been some super cool experiments...
There was a grand day at the river...
A bit of girly fun...
And a heavenly batch of home made, hand churned blackberry ice cream!
There was also a rousing family water balloon fight in the back yard and I was the winner! Well, if by winning you mean the the one who most resembled a drowned rat. And no, I haven't any photos of that.
So, forgive me if my posts are spotty, my replies and communications iffy for the next little while. This being "unplugged" is just too much fun!
I do hope that wherever you are, no matter the weather, that you too are having a bit of fun!

How blissful it looks.
Lucky lucky lucky the sun has come to stay.
May be i need a bit of unplugged therapy.
i think unplugging is good for the soul. You go ahead and enjoy your time with Pony Girl, and we will be here when you get back! Love to you both! mare
The produce you are getting from your garden looks great..those carrots are so big.
I don't blame you for unplugging with all the fun times you are having.
Enjoy! xo
sounds wonderful, enjoy!! X
Nothing beats a good unplugging every now and then. It reminds you to enjoy the sunshine.
Looks like fun. Keep it up.

what a fun summer you're having!
Those pickles look so yummy! Glad you're having some summer fun. :)
You will never regret unplugging and abandoning us for fun with your family! Especially that time spent with your girl - I still remember picnics and road trips and fun things with Diane, who of course now has her own little companion, dear Henry.

That sounds just about perfect, Alex! Enjoy it. Summer ends all too quickly (for me, at least).
Ooh, this unplugging thing sounds very tempting!
And that icecream looks absolutely delicious ... yum!
