A tub of water, a sunny day, and a bunch of children! We all enjoyed watching the great grandkids' antics on our visit to the Tonasket family.

Stopped by the fruit warehouse in Pateros on our way home and picked up a couple of boxes of cherries. We ate a bunch fresh - so fun to find abundant cherries in season. Then home and the canning began. I pitted 6 quarts and froze for smoothies in the winter, and canned 14 quarts for the pantry.
The deer are keeping the peas pruned, but I do spot a few pods they missed. Deer favorite food: peas, beans, cabbage, raspberry and blackberry vines, and all ornamentals. We have a doe with two spotted fawns, and a doe with a single baby that are pretty much residents here.
In spite of all the wild residents, I still have hope of having cucumbers for pickles, onions, raspberries, blackberries, apples, pears, figs, cabbage, lettuce, corn, kohlrabi, potatoes, celery, tomatoes, and peppers for our use.
I love this time of year also. Our crops are meager, but the sun is our hinderance, not critters.
