welcome to the farm

The hickory nuts have been falling, and we seem to have a bumper crop. Last year we had none. (Hickories bear nuts every other year, but somehow our trees have fallen into an all-or-nothing rhythm.)
It is quite possible that we got carried away in gathering them. This picture looks like it came from a Sunset book for people with OCD.

Del Wolcott warned me not to try to mow too close to the pond, but he was kind enough to
help dig me out when I got stuck in the mud.

Sarah won two goldfish at the fair — Lily and Sophie.

Here are some of the things we did on our summer vacation.
We took swimming lessons at the town pool …
… and learned to jump off the diving board.
We made some hay …
… and got a tractor of our own.
We took a dip in the Hudson …
… and watched others take a dip in the swamp.
We tended the garden …
… and tried to keep the bunnies at bay.
We ate lobsters …
… and enjoyed the swing …
… and generally had a great time.
We were very sad to lose Barney and Dexter, though.
