Alaska living, home education, gardening, hunting, fishing, trapping and preserving the harvest
Our tomatoes are coming along.
The grass gets mowed.
Benjamin gets to play in a friend’s sandbox.
We finally feel as though we can work on our summer to do list. This summer has been super busy. I hope to enjoy the remainder of the summer at a leisurely pace…well, at least a slower pace than what we have been going.
We finally had a hot and sunny day after weeks of dark clouds and rain.
A little water play was requested to cool down.

Raspberries and blueberries are ready for picking. Yesterday we went out hunting for raspberries. We need to go back for more soon.
Baseball ended tonight. Elisabeth played her last two games.
Her first at bat.
Stuck at third during her second game.
Good season, girl, good season.
I have been saving my birthday money since November, I thought I wanted a new microwave but the winter was so busy that we never bought one. I am glad we didn’t, I bought a new camera instead. I would rather have photos of my Blessings than a microwave any day. This was a splurge but not an impulse purchase (I’ve been saving this money for months!!)

Miss Emmy
Action shots of afternoon batting practice. She has tournament games tomorrow evening.
Flowers, some flowers have come and gone but some are at their peak.
I was super pleased with this shot!
And there is broccoli in the garden, soon to be eaten!
I couldn't resist snapping this pic as I walked past this store on Friday afternoon. Fitting in? No thanks, we will continue to grow unique personalities here at our little home on the last frontier.
I edited this post and a picture of my little guy is here that I cannot remove...technology isn't my thing today.
July has held two birthdays, Bible Camp and lots of rain and baseball.
Benjamin has an oar, just in case he needs it!
I am not really sure what these three are up to, but here they are.
Flowers.
Elisabeth turns twelve. Waiting for the birthday girl.
Here she is!
Batting cages for the birthday girl.
Camp.
The girls were campers, I worked at camp and Levi was chief child care provider. He did a great job!
Levi turns fourteen!! How did this happen????
Judith made a baseball banner.
Back to the batting cages.
Brotherly love.
Fondant cake.
Baseball ends tomorrow evening and then I might get back to summer blogging…
