Illness struck and I spent some time sitting on the patio with Maxwell, watching the birds, knitting (well, I knit) and checking out the squirrels (well, Maxwell kept track of the squirrels).

And the kids worked with Sculpey. Samuel was working on his business idea and Eva was making dolls.



And for dinner, we had ricotta apple-pear sauce pancakes and watermelon and cucumbers and Eva wanted crisp, so I made a pear-blackberry crisp with the rest of the pears and then she wanted pickles and Samuel had a corn cheese taco, but of course. And now I am taking more Vitamin C and drinking a little Kombucha, just to mix it up a bit.
