Sorry for the long break in posts. We've had birthdays, baseball, vacation trip, baseball, garden, and more baseball. Aaron and Stephen were on one team and Nathan was on a junior team (for 13-14 year old boys). Aaron's and Stephen's team was very good this year and won most of their games. Aaron pitched this year and really had a great year.
Stephen improved tremendously and really came into his game this year. He loved playing third base and assisted in making a lot of outs this year. His coach said he had improved the most of all the players on the team.
This was the first year there were enough boys for a junior team. They had a rough season. They almost won two games, tied one game, and beat one team. Nathan pitched again and played first.
Nathan sliding into second. His personal goal seems to be trying to wear out a pair of baseball pants every year.
... and his cake and presents 3 days later when his aunt and uncle and cousin were visiting.
These are asparagus ferns after we were done eating asparagus. They get huge and ferny and have to remain so for the rest of the summer. Take a look at the very wide asparagus stem. It looked like 4 stems growing all together.
We've never seen anything like it. The asparagus came up just fine when we were harvesting it. It will be interesting to see what comes up there next year.
Here are some June 30th pictures. We started harvesting beans about a week later.
Stephen in the corn. This was also taken June 30th. Our corn was way past knee high at the fourth of July. I think we'll get corn a full two weeks before we usually get corn.
