Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.

Finally snapped a few back to school pictures of these goof balls.We are actually wrapping up our 2nd week of school- better late than never I guess. It's completely ridiculous how hard it is to get a good picture of them, but I love them anyway! This year I have three official students- 7th, 4th, and 1st grade- plus a tag along preschooler! Our days are very full!

These late summer days have given me the urge to stock up my pantry and apothecary. In the last few days I have made up a batch of fire cider-vinegar infused with lots of spicy herbs, a batch of elderberry syrup, and a pot of chicken and vegetable broth for the freezer. With all the illness going around it seems like a good idea to be stocked up on immune boosting and sickness fighting foods on hand.

Many of the ingredients in these came right out of my garden or yard.

The first two recipes can both be found on the @mountainroseherbs blog.

We had a great weekend in Montana with my whole family exploring the area where I spent my childhood. I have many fond memories of playing in this barn with my sister and our first ponies.

We also got the full tour of the house from the current owner. It was originally an old farmhouse that my dad completely remodeled.

In the back is the original cabin that we used as a playhouse.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of beautiful days at the lake.

I love the beauty and rhythm of every season, and right now I am soaking up relaxed summer days. Mornings working in the garden, preserving the harvest, and reading with the children- then often lazy afternoons at the lake.

It was a cherry jam kind of day...
Yesterday we went to the u-pick orchard and picked cherries! Today we turned them into jam! This is actually the first time I have made cherry jam, usually I dry, freeze and can cherries. But I thought it would be fun to try something new. I'm so thankful for my sweet little helper, too!

Summer day at the lake. We enjoyed watcing these beautiful Swallowtail butterflies that were flying all around us while we were there!

When it's so hot outside and I don't know what to make for lunch, I search the fridge and pantry and we have a snack lunch.
