scenes from a holiday weekend

::roasted corn on the cob::

::picnicking with friends::

::heirloom tomatoes and peppers::

::a new chalkboard for Paulie's room::

::homemade peach ice cream::

::waiting for fireworks::

::making bread and butter pickles::

::a first haircut::

::picking blackberries from our back fence::

::supporting our favorite swimmer::

::a triumphant swim meet::

::exuberant sibling congratulations::
