It's that time of year where pears start filling up our garden and kitchen. We've made pear crisp, eaten lots of fresh pears and are getting ready to can some. We also share lots with the starlings who have great feasts on them until Eli goes out and growls at them in a loud gutteral voice and they all fly away. He really is quite powerful! Here's his question of the day. Why do people's hair turn gray? We are going to look that one up.
Nate has learned lots of delicious cooking skills this year including yummy pizza dough. This was some of the best dough he's made.
We had pizza with homemade pesto from the garden basil. Topped with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, goat cheese and olives. It was delicious.
We started sewing camp today. I couldn't get Eli to participate too much but he did embroider freehand a beautiful, green leaf. Mostly he just keeps the girls laughing during snack.
This person was his model from last year. There are different people that have wandered their way into a variety of frames. He developed his own unique stitch which looks a lot like the slip stitch, but we call it
"Eli's Stitch". He has even taught to other kids at camp.
