Ella’s third (and final) first year birthday party is planned for this weekend, up at the Schultz farm in Clintonville. First she had her “just me and the grandparents birthday party” because not all of the grandparents would be in town on the big day. Then she had the “actual day” birthday celebration because, well, just because. You have to. It was complete with a pink elephant cake (pic above) and frilly party dress. Next comes her “get down with our best friends” party, which will feature all a girl could want: good friends, a dirt cake and hay rides. This one will be a joint party, since Ella and Sofie’s birthdays are only nine days apart.
Mostly that’s what’s going on around here. Planning for, putting on and recovering from birthday parties. That and gardening. We pulled a couple rows of potatoes this week and harvested our first eggplant. Chris made an awesome eggplant parmasean (how do you spell it? The spell check keeps trying to replace it with “ptarmigan”. I don’t eat ptarmigan. Not even baked with mozzarella cheese). I continue my efforts to leave parts of the garden untilled this year and I have hopes of planting garlic in the fall.
It's the other side of midnight,so I’m going to load some pictures and call it a night.

Here, at random, is some stuff I found on my camera.
Say it with me, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"
