Blackberries and Bikes
We have had some lovely times picking blackberries over the last couple of weeks and have ended up with a plethora of blackberries- 34 lbs to date; this could be an expensive hobby- but worth it; I could probably eat a whole flat of berries myself, and wouldn't mind spending a lot of time in their lovely gardens- three cheers for Buckeye Acres!
We also harvested our grapes- sadly it wasn't a large quantity, but enough to get a couple of batches of jelly. I think we have just had too much rain this year and too much cool weather, though you will never hear me complain about that point!
Bella and Kaija were very helpful making the grape jelly.
Zachary completed their 100 mile ride on the 14-15th. He enjoyed every second of it and we are indebted to all the wonderful leaders that took their time to make it such a great trip!
He is already planning a time for me to take him and ride through his favorite areas!
He was a little sore, but he did great.
We are officially on day 2 of school and the kids are very happy with the new schedules. They came home smiling yesterday, and that is always a good sign!
Joe has been out of town for a week or so and has about that much to go- we are never really sure. He is working on installing an instrument in Grand Rapids MI. We always look forward to his return- Eli most especially. But following this instillation they will be in town for quite a while. I like this plan!

I thought Zach was awesome on all the rides we went on. I was very impressed. He is a good young man.
