Today was a banner day. My sister and I stopped at a local farmstand for eggs, rhubarb, and asparagus. Tonight, we harvested wild leeks, though we were kind of wary since the leeks were in the spot folks have been sighting a juvenile black bear.
Dave and Nathan enjoyed a day fishing and catching (instead of just the former) and got these two lovely fish - a rainbow trout and a coho salmon. On the way up this time, we picked up a smoker, and have been enjoying smoked foods - tonight we had smoked trout, grilled trout, grilled asparagus, and new potatoes pan fried with wild leeks.
Oh yeah, and the neighbor brought over a huge cardboard box (5′ x 3′ x 2′ or so) and the kids drew all over it, cut a door in it, hung a flag on it, and played played played.

Idyllic. I love that you love your sister so, and the cottage gives you all such joyful serenity.
