Summertime

and the livin' is easy. But it won't be here for long so get out while you can. Little kids will enjoy turning over rocks and looking for bugs, bigger kids can wet their toes in the stream and collect what they find. Last night our evening stroll took us to Grampa's house. We came home with fresh lettuce from the garden and another dozen eggs. It's surprising what you can learn on a walk. My three year old has named his favorite tree Barry Sideman, who can't walk and talk because he's a tree (we were silly enough to wonder).

Summertime meals can be extra fun too. Tom turned on the Mexican music channel last night for taco night. Breakfast this morning came from Hi 5 magazine: freeze vanilla yogurt overnight and let it soften for about 15 minutes in the morning. Slice a banana in two, place ice cream scoops of frozen yogurt on top. Add blueberries, strawberries and granola cereal. I put the strawberries in the blender with a teaspoon of sugar to make sauce.
