Our Peach Crop

We finally decided to pick the peaches off our tree ... this is about a third of our peach crop this year - the deer were feasting on them nightly, so we'll let them finish ripening in the house.  We only have one pear left on the tree ... the deer ate the rest, we were so sad.  This is the first year that the deer have jumped our 6 foot fence.

Boating with the Kiriaka's

The Kiriaka family are friends of ours from Palmer ... they are moving from Michigan to Spokane to start a practice. It was nice to see them again - it's been 6 years.

Brinley came for a quick visit with Nana and Papa.
