Lucy on Sauvies Island.

Look at how many ripe currents are ready for picking!
I was surpized by how much Lucy liked them,
considering how tart they are.
We've dried them and made scones and dumped them in vodka for creme de cassis.
We have been having so much fun berry picking this summer.

Guarding my box of blackberries.

I know some people will be bothered that Lucy was naked in the sun,

but on the hottest days she really enjoys watering the garden in the evenings while naked.
Who am I to deny her this simple pleasure.
It only takes a few minutes to water the garden, and to be honest,
I envy her lack of self conciousness.
