Presto! It's Pesto!

With all the rain we've gotten lately, our basil is starting to head toward it's end pretty quickly.  So, as she does every year, Mary Beth collects much of the basil and spends some time making pesto.  She freezes it in ice cube trays so we can have fresh-tasting pesto all year round.  It's one of Jake's favorites.

red peppers).

This year, she was a little over-ambitious in her picking--she didn't plan on spending all day doing it.  It'll be worth it, though!

Oh, and here's a pic of Jake heading to the car for his first day of kindergarten.  He had a great time.
