This summer we have had some weird weather. One week it is freezing cold with rain. Then the next week it is in the 100's. We never know what to expect. This crazy weather has also effected our garden. Since it took so long to warm up our garden has been slow to produce. Just within the last couple weeks we have been able to enjoy some fresh fruit and veggies from our backyard.
Each day Ava surveys the garden and finds things to pick. She loves the apricots, blackberries, and tomatoes. Our apricots have been slow to ripen (which actually works out nice) and Ava picks 1-2 each day. Our tomatoes are doing well, so Ava can pick several each day. She especially likes the baby tomatoes. Our blackberries are also slowly ripening, so Ava gets a handful each day. I'm looking forward to a week or two when all the berries will be ripe and we can do something with them.
After Ava harvests the food she wants to eat it. Sometimes she will wait until we come in, but most of the time we rinse it with the hose and she eats it outside. I don't know if she prefers one thing over another because she just moves from apricots, to tomatoes, to blackberries until they are all gone. It is fun to watch her eat and enjoy the fresh fruit and veggies from our garden.

They found a ripe one.
Ava and daddy enjoy picking and eating apricots together.
Apricots are delicious!
I LOVE this picture! It is Ava sneaking off to eat her tomato.
Sometimes it is hard to get a picture of this wild 2 1/2 year old. I had a hard time getting her to be still to get a picture of her tomato face.
Ava is pretty good about picking the ripe blackberries and leaving the unripe ones alone.
Ava is excited to eat her blackberries.
