Standardized testing with a cucumber, a book, a hot pepper, and (of course) a pocket knife...
Standardized Testing with...well, with just his brain...
Standardized Testing with...hot sauce???
The Girl taught Branch how to play chess, and they played a few rounds while he was a bit under the weather. ChubChub was the silent advisor...
Anders brought home some delicious canteloupes from the U-Pick.
It's beginning to look like summer...
Peas on the floor??? Yep, they go through a "heat" after being picked, so Teresa and The Girl spread them out to keep cool.
And isn't this a cozy pea-shelling corner?
The boys were given the job of planting 7 acres of sweet potatoes at the U-Pick, and they came home hot and hungry!
We had unexpected guests who were excited to shell peas for the first time. They really helped a lot and ended up finishing the bowlful. Yummy!
Francisco cut the plastic to go in the
prensa that flattens the tortillas.
The Girl enjoyed watching him perform his work of art.
ChubChub kept Doris company while he waited eagerly for a hot tortilla.
The boys have been putting in some hot, long days at the U-Pick.
Aren't these eggs beautiful? Lots of hens = lots of good eats!
ChubChub and The Girl soaked up the early morning rays while shelling peas. STILL??? Well, the peas keep coming, ya know...
Potatoes that Poppins and Anders gleaned from the U-Pick farm...
Sunday arrived hot and muggy, and our friends brought other friends to meet us and to share a meal together. The ladies had a great time cooking and talking together, and The Girl fit right in. The ladies were helping her flip the tortillas.
And now to eat! Yummy
frijoles, carne de puerco con calabacita, tortillas, and yummy desserts.
Our guest really had a good time down at the pond, but the fish? Well, their story ended a bit on the sad side. Best to keep your mouths closed, fellas. [Kind of like life, eh?]
Back to teaching at the College tomorrow; speeches to memorize for upcoming performances; schoolwork/field work/animal work/ housework/ to juggle, and it's HOT, HOT, HOT outside!
