Monday: We weeded around Mama’s roses all morning and then played water balloons in the afternoon.

Tuesday we left Pine Grove at 8am and got to Charlotte via two layovers at 1am on Wednesday. Stayed with Lori that night and picked up Spencer at 4pm from the airport. Then we up to Mt Airy where Thomas went canoeing with the YM on a lake. I took the other 3 shopping to restock the fridge. (Kaitlyn, Makenna, and Samuel stayed another week at Mama’s because it was cheaper and they’ve never been to Mama’s without me before.)

We spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday catching up on farm chores: finding hornworms and squash bugs on the plants, picking tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, blueberries, blackberries, etc. Cleaned the chicken coop. Washed the front deck. Mowed the lawn. So much to catch up on after being gone a week. I worked on a lot of business emails and comments too. Plus getting ready for the homeschool year. When we weren’t working, the boys played the piano and cello. I played a lot of Racko with Tilly and did a bit of baking with her. Getting back into the swing of things at home.

Blueberries are doing great!! Picking several basketfuls every day. It’s keeping me busy. Saturday night we all went up to the hill and picked like 6 baskets. Putting most in the freezer and selling some. Love blueberry season.

Have a great week!
