We’ve returned from our delightful week at Farm Camp for our last 2 weeks in Blue Lake (and California). As I try to get some freelance work done, pack up our home, and attend to the children’s transition, I think I’ll have little space for my own ruminations on leaving California for parts unknown. Or maybe I will make that time. But for now, I don’t want to let the glories of Farm Camp slip by without sharing them with you this week, bit by bit.
My friend Jen of Coastal Posies flowers took so many delightful pictures of children doing art, gardening and cooking. It was a thrill to watch children discover how the three can be interwoven for fun, food, and beauty. That picture in the kitchen is from Day 1, making foccaccia with flower butter…calendula and borage. So beautiful. Isaiah and his good farm friend W made a giant heart-shaped loaf.
As we walked to the river to swim on a warm afternoon, we picked the seasons first salmonberries. Isaiah proclaimed, “It’s berry season!” After sampling the few we found, Isaiah said, “These are so yummy. I want to stay at OZ Farm all salmon season.” I love that he’s getting the season thing down.
