On the homefront

A few snaps of recent projects on the homefront. We've been crazy for popsicles since moving to Durham. A few of our recent favorites include peanut-banana, lime, and ginger-peach. The photo is of some watermelon popsicles.
Those beans have sky rocketed since this photo was taken a few weeks ago!

Checking out the peppers.
Making biscuits.
Okra pickles (complete with donkey), made after a trip last weekend to the farmer's market.
Hazel grabbing the (ever patient) orange man.
The bunch of us in our new place.

Peach-pecan pie!

Clifftop

A few photos taken last week in Clifftop, West Virginia at the Appalachian Stringband Music Festival. Here were are on a hike down to the river near the campground with our friend Rebecca.

Playing in the water.

View from the overlook along the trail.
Paul and Lena at the "Please touch the instruments" booth run by the organization Allegheny Echoes. Lena was pumped to try out a fiddle (as the videos below attest to).
Playing tunes with Rebecca at "Please touch the instruments".
A couple shots of Hazel and Lena rocking out in the bouncy seat at home.





Lena's fiddle debut ("Johnny was a miller").


Another family favorite ("Old groundhog").
