Sungold cherry tomatoes
We planted a couple of tomato plants behind our apartment - they are both about 9' tall and the Sungold is particularly prolific. And 'oh boy' delicious.
The fun goes on and on and on...
Seth and Maggie found the first black walnuts of the year and had a big time pounding the fruit with hammers to get to the nut, which they squeezed out with their fingers. Which will no doubt now be stained for quite some time.

Travis Reed comes to town
Our good friend Travis Reed of 'the work of the people' spent a few days with us last week. He was in town to do some filming with Sean for a 6 part video series that will be a small group resource exploring some of the themes of the Story of God that scripture invites us to be shaped by.
We spent many hours wandering the neighborhood, on the streets downtown, in the London-Ferrell garden and the Episcopal cathedral, trying to capture where these themes are being made manifest in our life here in Lexington. With heat indices in the 100s, it was hot and sweaty work, but thanks to Travis' talent for drawing forth inspiration when it seems to be draining out with every drop of sweat, we finished all six. Travis will now turn his editorial gift to transforming those many hours of film into short films that will hopefully provoke thought and conversation around the Story.
The book should be back from the printers in just 3 weeks. Sean will be heading up to Chicago to spend a couple of days at the Christian Community Development Association's annual conference with the good people of IVP, and will return with a few cases of books. We are excited to finally see it!
We'll let you know when the videos are done, and where you can take a look at them.

Seth's Co op class art exhibition
Over the course of the semester, Seth and his classmates have been creating art in various media, both for the experience and for their first class exhibition.
On the day of the show, they took turns greeting people, serving refreshments, talking about their art and selling it. It really was very impressive, and a lovely afternoon, thanks in large part to the hard work of Seth's teachers, Ms Littrell and Angie. The kids had a great time, as did the parents and family members!
Seth had worked particularly diligently at a piece of weaving, and we bumped into the weaver at a neighborhood event, and Seth told her about his purse. She wrote a beautiful reflection on their interaction, which you can find here on her blog.
