bikes and bugs

We went for a bikeride on the Airline Trail with Tucker and Grace. Lucia didn't have a bike, but she ran and kept up with the boys with little trouble.

Some scary monsters we met along the way.

Back at the cranberry bog, this grasshopper couldn't stay away from Dante.

We got a big box of sauce tomatoes from our weekly pickup at the Old Maid's Lane Organic Farm CSA, so we spent a day cutting and cooking and canning them. Here's Dante putting the tomatoes through the food mill. This was our first foray into canning -- I think next time we'll can the tomatoes as whole as possible.
