The Farmers Market (or the Cache Valley Gardener's Market) is held in Logan, Utah every Saturday from May until October. Attending Market is one of our favorite summer activities. Fresh vegetables and lemonade, local cheese as well as face painting, kettle corn, and arts and handcrafts, make it a fun place to visit. I also enjoy visiting other growers and comparing notes; and sometimes trading produce.

At the end of August, Joseph went to Washington to help his grandfather, Austin Ashby. Cousin Adam Ashby was out working as well, so Joseph and Adam were able to spend some time getting to know each other and exploring the area, which they enjoyed.
Boys will be boys, and that means catching critters!
