Our week should be mostly back to normal this week and we are almost through our school year. We will finish next week and have a couple months without regular schooling, then start up again in September.

We are kicking off this week with our neighborhood picnic and potluck. Everyone brings their own meat to grill and a dish to share. Our neighborhood club (kind of like a grange, but based on our irrigation district) provides the drinks, condiments, grills, place. Our week is going to end with some strawberry picking as our favorite place just opened up for business. It is a homeschooling family that is using the profits from their sales to put away in their daughters' college funds. They raise my absolute favorite variety of strawberry (Shuksan - ours are a couple years from being even close to how prolific theirs are, and we don't have nearly the plants planted that they do) and they have jam berries that they sell for only $1.00 a pound.
