A much needed drink (for the plants).

Future botanist?

Checking out the zinnias at Homestead Farm on Friday morning.

Farmer Tim, creeping around in the tomato plants.

We spot new watermelons everyday, hiding under the vines.  These should be ready soon.

Here's some perspective of how big they are!

A girl and her birds.

She is such a good helper with farm chores.

Hunting for the last of the strawberries.

From the left: tomatoes, squash, cukes, and beans.

Just checking on things.

A proud little farmer.

Off to find the black raspberries.  She knows where just about all the bushes are.

She never tires of these "yard berries" as we've been calling them.

Baby Praying Mantis.
