more pics of our July

Fresh blueberry cream pie (actually baked, but you start with fresh blueberries ~ I didn’t name the recipe) Tim wants me to make it with cherries instead.  Someday when I have fresh tart cherries on hand. 
The Popper preferred the blueberries; Tim favored the creamy custard; so they shared their pieces.

  
  
Tim located a capable but infrequently used tractor at the farm.  That with the bale fork he bought made a good tool for moving the new crop of round bales.  That’s the Computer Geek at the wheel, getting some driving practice.  (Without me along.  woo hoo!)

Evidence we fed the birds earlier this year  : )

While I was out yesterday evening, Miss Music Box gave some bread-making lessons …

  

  

                 

          

(and took numerous photos while they were at it)

The Cowgirl also made potato buns!

Miss Artist couldn’t resist a few pics of today’s treat of bing cherries.  Yum.

     

I was momentarily deterred from making hummus by the price of the bottle of tahini.  However, the little container of sesame seeds was only 50 cents last week ~ very much worth a try!  The internet proved helpful when I found Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice ~ Reeni’s recipe blog has close to a bzillion recipes, including homemade tahini and hummus!  I forgot to toast the sesame seeds first, but they did grind up fine in my coffee grinder (used for flax seed usually).  The kids (who like hummus from the store) decided the homemade was even better  :-)  Score!  Tim might be happier if and when I attempt her recipe for falafel or skillet flatbread.  Yum.  Bring on the gyros!

How can the Popper smile

while Tim is holding her up by her ears?!?
