June Harvest

Planting and harvest times are definitely a little different in the south than they are up in my home territory of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Down in South Carolina there are often two crops planted throughout the year, with one growing through the winter. A few Christmases ago it was completely green in the field across from our house, and I DID NOT like that. It definitely was a downer for the Christmas spirit. This June the farmer harvested some winter wheat which you can see in the pictures below. Our guess is that there will soon be a crop of soybeans put in the ground.

A Visit to the Judds

This post is a little old as we visited our friends, the Judd family, back in early May, but I had to make sure to get the pictures of their beautiful children posted at some point. Davey and Alexis are the older children, and their new baby is Olivia. They are so fun to be around, and we feel special that Dave and Susan have them calling us Uncle and Aunt!

Breaking in the Grill

We just purchased our first grill a couple weeks ago and our neighbors, the Malinowskis, were kind enough to come over and break it in for us. Mike actually did the grilling and walked us through all of it, and then we all enjoyed the feast. We've already used the grill two times since this feast was coooked five days ago, so we are loving it.
