These sunny, golden engagement photos are from a few weeks back, when I met Megan and Cody at the beautiful Airlie Center. The gardens were a beautiful backdrop for their portraits and thankfully, the humidity we'd been experiencing all week dropped off in time for a pleasant Friday evening! These two are getting married next month and I will be photographing their celebration…I may be biased, but September is a pretty fine month to get married ;) (my husband and I will celebrate our two year anniversary two days after Megan and Cody's wedding!)</div>

Oh, California! Every time I go back through the photos from our trip I miss it a little more. Especially this area. After our morning touring the <a href="http://daisyjars.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-excellent-california-adventure.html">17 Mile Drive</a>, we passed through Pacific Grove where I marveled at the gnarled and windblown Monterey Cypress trees (which I love very much). We then decided to check out Cannery Row, as John Steinbeck's body of work (his books Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday in particular) is what drew my interest to Monterey in the first place. However, the experience there was a huge letdown. Steinbeck's Cannery Row was a place full of life and character (and probably offensive smells, but he doesn't talk much about that), but the Cannery Row we visited was a chintzy tourist scene and highly disappointing. But, we did check out the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was full of wonderful things and inspired us to go out poking around in tide pools that afternoon. Back to Pacific Grove we went, where we climbed over rocks looking for colorful creatures (and feeling like Steinbeck's Doc, who collected marine animals along the coast). Evin and I have both decided that tide pooling is a lot of fun, but we just don't get that sort of thing in our part of the country! Afterward, we drove to Carmel-by-the-Sea and walked around its adorable, quaint streets before settling down on a bench to watch a Pacific ocean sunset at Carmel Beach. Then it was dinner at a little Hawaiian place and back to the hotel to prepare for the trek down through Big Sur the next day...Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-48449679398941168642015-06-24T08:02:00.001-04:002015-06-24T08:02:28.486-04:00the excellent california adventure: the beginning<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A little over 3 months ago, Evin and I embarked on what turned out to be one of our most epic adventures yet. I have been begging him to take me to California to see "the trees" (the coast redwoods in the northern part of the state) for years, and finally, the trip was a reality. We planned an 11 day vacation, where we would fly to San Francisco and pick up a rental car, then drive to Monterey, Big Sur, Napa, Humboldt County, and then back to San Francisco to finish out the trip. These photos are from the first evening and then morning of our trip, arriving in Monterey, having dinner overlooking the water at Fisherman's Wharf, getting a good night's sleep in our hotel, and then sightseeing on the Seventeen Mile Drive. The day was far from over, but in order to avoid having a gigantic blog post with 75 photos, I'm stopping here for now...Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-11455687295486024782015-06-23T09:55:00.000-04:002015-07-06T08:31:57.780-04:00tara and tripper / married! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://daisyjars.blogspot.com/2014/09/tara-tripper-engaged.html">Tara and Tripper</a>'s Virginia Tech wedding took place on a beautiful, sunny day at the end of May. They exchanged vows inside the War Memorial chapel on campus, and then we headed out to various spots around the school with their 16-person wedding party for portraits--we were even able to get into Lane Stadium and take photos on the field! Their reception followed at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech, where cocktails and dinner were followed by a lot of dancing and a sparkler sendoff at the end of the night. It was a fantastic celebration of this couple (who had been together 8.5 years before tying the knot) and what a great excuse to visit Blacksburg and my alma mater!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-76638783699633683962015-06-22T17:12:00.001-04:002015-06-22T17:12:45.326-04:00jean and manu / married!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As usual, I have a LOT of catching up to do over here! It was a busy spring with lots of photos happening, but they've just been piling up in my library. Time to remedy that!<br />
First up, it's Jean and Manu's beautiful spring wedding at Airlie in Warrenton. I have known Jean and her family for years and I was so happy to get to play a part in their day! Their ceremony took place on a sunny spring afternoon overlooking Lake Airlie, followed by cocktails, dinner, dancing (a lot of dancing!) and late-night fire pit fun. It was a wonderful event, with family and friends coming together to celebrate the newlyweds and enjoy excellent wine from both Virginia and France.<br />

Yesterday morning, while we were making breakfast, Evin asked if I wanted to go up and hike on the mountain. The answer is always yes! The forecast said rain but we packed our rain jackets and extra clothes and headed out anyway. We met his parents up there and did two hikes--first, the short Blackrock Summit loop, where we found lots of lichen, and then the Doyles River loop. The thing about waterfall hikes from Skyline Drive...you drive along the top of the mountain and have to hike downhill to reach the waterfalls. Then it's a (sometimes steep) upward trek back up to the parking lot when you're done. It started to rain on the descent, but none of us mind...it reminded us of our hikes in Ireland, and the air was fresh and not too cold. Plus, the rain combined with the spring melt on the mountain meant the waterfalls were really flowing...I'm sure we wouldn't have gotten such a good view if we had gone in the summer. There are many perks to hiking in less-than-favorable weather!<br />
I'm so glad we got out yesterday. The waterfalls were beautiful, even though the hike up afterwards was tough. We're warming up our hiking boots for California this week, and it was nice to get a comparison here on the east coast (weather, trees, our local national park) before heading to the west to explore. So exciting!

Another overdue post. This time from our week at the beach last August! The title of this post is a bit inaccurate, since we stayed in Kill Devil Hills but adventured up and down the Outer Banks. Ah, well. I have been traveling to the Outer Banks with my family for most of my life but only learned on this most recent trip where the name Kill Devil Hills comes from. Apparently, back in colonial times when ships transported barrels of rum up and down the coast, ships that wrecked off the dangerous shores of the Outer Banks were pillaged by locals before they sank. The rum, called "kill devil," was often hidden in the sand dunes...hence the name Kill Devil Hills. Kind of cool.<br />
Anyway, I figured since we're getting on a plane for an epic California adventure next week, I better take care of some of the backlog of past adventures here on the blog.<br />

I have gotten so bad at blogging personal photos! Portrait sessions obviously take priority in editing and posting, and photographs taken for my own enjoyment and memory tend, recently, to sit in my Lightroom library, largely ignored. It's a bit of a slow season so I'm making it a priority to revisit these photos and post here. After all, this blog was first and foremost created to document my own experiences and give me a nice platform on which to revisit them down the road. <br />
This particular (large) batch of photos comes from November 2014, when my family and I (sadly Evin could not get away from work) visited my grandparents at their home in Arkansas. While the area is sparsely populated, we found ways to entertain ourselves for the week. I made a basket from honeysuckle vines and used it all week in our pecan-picking efforts. We drove to cypress-filled lakes and I photographed the heck out of them (more on that in a bit). We shot guns at cans down by the bayou and we drove around for hours searching for a place to buy a bushel of sweet potatoes, only to find them for 10 cents at pound at Wal Mart. We baked pies and prepared a Thanksgiving feast, our last to be enjoyed in that house in that part of the country (my grandparents recently moved away from Arkansas). It was great to be able to spend time with my grandmother and grandfather there one last time before they left.<br />
So…back to the cypress trees. As long as I can remember, I was intrigued and fascinated by them. When we were kids, my dad and grandpa used to take us fishing in my grandpa's boat (at least one of my fishing poles resides in the bottom of an Arkansas lake, as I was known to cast over-enthusiastically and throw the entire thing into the water) and we would get close to the big trees, their bases wide where they grew out of the water, the grey spanish moss hanging everywhere. The past two visits we've made to Parkdale, I have been extra interested in these trees. In researching them online, I discovered they are in the same family (Cupressaceae) as the redwoods. The redwoods! The trees I have been dreaming about for several years now (maybe longer). As a matter of fact, Evin and I are in the process of planning our trip to California to visit the redwoods in March. I can't WAIT.<br />
<br />
Anyway, farewell Arkansas. It's time to explore other parts of this country!<br />

This family session took place at the very end of 2014 (!!) with a friend of mine and her husband's family on their beautiful property. I had a great time capturing these folks in a natural, sunlit setting (especially nice as it's been grey and rainy around here lately) with occasional appearances from the neighbor's handsome dog, Jack. As a bonus, my friend and her husband are expecting, so we snuck a few maternity-style photos in during the shoot as well!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-77338613213717383922014-10-07T10:00:00.001-04:002014-10-07T10:02:13.780-04:00blackrock summit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

October is a really busy month for me; I'm working every Saturday and Sunday, which means it might be a little tricky to get out and enjoy what fall has to offer. But, this past Sunday, the afternoon and evening were free and Evin and I were able to take a trip up to "the mountain" (as I call it) for a little hiking and marveling at Mother Nature. When we go up to Skyline Drive, we typically head north from our entrance point, and usually seek waterfalls (often the same trail…oops!), but I decided I'd like to do something a little different. I looked into a few waterfall trails to the south, but most seemed fairly strenuous and after a long week of standing and running around (for me) and a few hours of soccer Sunday morning (for Evin), plus the dry spell we've been experiencing…I thought we should save those for later. So, I settled on the Black Rock Summit trail, a short hike to an impressive rocky top with stunning panoramic views, and Evin agreed. It was actually our first time hiking to a vista in the park (like I said…usually we hike along streams to waterfalls in the woods) and it was my first time experiencing sunset from the park as well. When we got out of the car in the parking lot, the cold was a little shocking…I think I still have summer blood. But, we put on our hats and jackets and hiked the short way to the summit, where we climbed the rocks and admired the view. I couldn't stop snapping photos, as we were there during golden hour, waiting for the sunset. Poor Finley wasn't too fond of being perched on the windy rocks…</div>

It was a great opportunity to try out my new-to-me lens, a fast mid-range zoom, which performed pretty well, I think (apart from its affinity to haze and flare when pointed toward a light source…the very strong afternoon sun, for instance). I also took a few panoramas on my iPhone (love that feature!)</div>

I met up with Tara and Tripper last week at <a href="http://www.airlie.com/">Airlie Center</a> for their golden hour engagement session. It was a beautiful evening to stroll the Airlie property, with gardens and grassy fields touched by golden light and a quiet lake reflecting early fall colors. These two have been together for eight years and are tying the knot at their alma mater (and mine!) next spring. Their wedding will be my first in Blacksburg and I am so excited to capture their big day!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-48790230209335997902014-08-15T22:50:00.002-04:002014-08-15T22:50:35.191-04:00karly gardens: august 15, 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The garden isn't looking so hot these days. But I have sunflowers! And they're really tall! And the rudbeckia triloba is blooming so cutely and the zinnias are happy. And I'm preparing for my fall garden so I'm not too bothered that the summer plants are looking lackluster. It's definitely felt like fall for the past several days...!<br />

Senior photos! This was my first senior photo session--high school, that is (I did take <a href="http://daisyjars.blogspot.com/2012/04/nikki-vt-class-of-2012.html">college graduation photos</a> a few years back for my friend Nikki). Heidi is the younger sister of my good friend/college roommate/maid of honor and it was such a pleasure making these photos! We began at <a href="http://panoramaeventbarn.com/">Panorama Farms</a>, which was just beautiful in afternoon sunlight, then headed to downtown Charlottesville to check out an awesome mural and grab a few photos in <a href="http://www.charlottesville.org/index.aspx?page=360">McGuffey Park</a>. <br />
Heidi was a great model and made my job so easy! She was so easy-going as I tried to explain poses and I loved all of her outfit choices.<br />
And for a little bit of photographer-speak, I did this session almost entirely with my 85mm f1.8 lens, which doesn't get out of the bag much anymore since I use the 80-200mm more frequently at events & weddings. But, for portraits like this, it's a dream (especially on the full-frame camera)!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-66054989585796578722014-08-06T18:33:00.000-04:002014-08-06T18:33:32.764-04:00karly gardens: august 1, 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

August has brought sunflowers, it's brought tomatoes, it's brought an explosion of blooms around my mailbox and consequently it's brought the most fantastic colors of summer to my kitchen windowsill. It has also brought a few yellow leaves, a few fading plants, and a little bit of garden fatigue (which I truly, truly hate to admit). But, this chronicle of my 2014 garden would be worthless without honesty, and I know my winter self will agree…a tired garden is better than no garden at all.<br />
The tomato plants do not look good. They have happy green tops, but there isn't a lot of new fruit and the lower to middle branches are brown and crunchy and dead. The first planting of beans is slowing and thinning, the bell pepper plants are still stunted and the few fruits they have are rotting in place, so their life in the garden is growing short. The pumpkin and cucumber vines out back, which I haven't photographed for this post, are long but yellowing, and the promise of pumpkins for the fall doesn't seem so sure anymore. Nearly all the plants I have are looking tired, but I can't blame them…I think the soil they live in is tired too and needs an overhaul. But, the harvests are still nice. I've picked a lot of beautiful dark purple beans, more tomatoes than I'd expected, and a good (but not overwhelming) number of cucumbers. I received my fall seeds last week and have started a good number of them indoors, which I will plant out in a few weeks. This will be my first attempt at a fall garden, and I look forward to the possibility of harvesting in October, November, maybe beyond. <br />
Last week, Evin and my dad took down what was left of the bradford pear tree in our front yard. Well, I say "what was left" but really the trunk still stands four or five feet tall. However, its massive shade has gone, and new garden possibilities have opened. It means more work, but it is exciting nonetheless! I may gain a respectably-sized garden by next year.<br />
To clarify the seeming change-in-scenery in the second-fifth photos in this post: I photographed what could be called a "satellite" garden. I started a handful of plants to place in the beds at my parents' lake house and they all seem very happy. The jalapeños grow bigger there than they do in my garden, and the Ace tomato plant is much happier than my own. Again with the need for some soil help...<br />
It seems to have been a busy few weeks since my last post, so I have two iPhone photo collages instead of only one:<br />

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to take first birthday photos for little J. I worked with his family <a href="http://daisyjars.blogspot.com/2014/02/charlottesville-family-photographer.html">over the winter</a> and was so excited to get together with them again in warmer weather! J's mom had a bunch of fun props and ideas and even brought a fun second outfit for the cake smash. This little guy had never had cake before and I think it's safe to say he liked it!

Yay! I actually stuck to what I said a month ago...I went out and collected wildflowers for another arrangement. By sheer coincidence, I did the first one (<a href="http://daisyjars.blogspot.com/2014/06/late-june-wildflowers.html">blog post here</a>) on June 24, and this second one on July 24. I was sort of dragging my feet, as most (if not all) of the flowers I used a month ago are still available for the picking and I didn't want to just make another version of the same thing. But, I came across a good selection of new materials yesterday, so that's exciting! It ended up being a purple and white arrangement...I also gathered some yellow flowers but decided not to use them. This month's arrangement includes: crown vetch, phlox, honeysuckle (the second blooming of the year...I love having it in the house. smells so good!), pokeweed, New York ironweed (a gorgeous deep-purple flower), some wispy grass, and a little Queen Anne's lace. Now, if I manage a third arrangement in August...then this will be a real project ;)<br />

Here's an Instagram of the mess I gathered (before it started to rain)...<br />

Though it has only officially been summer for less than a month, I can't help but think about the fall. I spent all winter and early spring planning the garden, starting seeds, and absolutely itching to get outside. Now that things have been growing for months, I have started to consider what I'll grow once the summer crops are finished. It seems really ridiculous! But, I know I'm not the only one. Gardeners are planning and ordering seeds for their cool-season endeavors, and this will be my first year attempting to grow past September. It is exciting to think about harvesting produce in October and November and even December, but it is still the height of summer! I need to get my head in the game!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since my last post, I've harvested a few more firsts...first tomatoes, first cucumber, first zucchini, first beans. The tomato plants are still looking ratty but seem to be moderately happy (I've now attached our 2 hoses together to make SUPERHOSE, which allows me to water my plants at the base rather than showering them from above), the jalapeño plants are producing abundantly (though the plants are small) and the cucumber production may be ramping up. Squash and zucchini, in contrast to last year, are struggling. I've harvested one yellow squash and one zucchini. I hope they get their act together...but I know for next year I really need to feed the soil. Bean plants are producing a couple of beans a day, while I expected they'd be more prolific. The pumpkin vines continue to reach into the yard and explode with yellow blossoms every morning, but no pumpkins spotted yet (I need to be patient...if I want them for Halloween, I don't want to se them yet). The zinnias surrounding the mailbox are booming, which makes me very happy...I was inspired to plant a mailbox garden after snapping <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaaaarly/8008905071/">this photo</a> two years ago, and am pleased with the bright and cheerful outcome so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, a few iPhone images of harvests and things over the last two weeks...</div>

I brake for flowers. This sunny meadow had a convenient spot for me to pull over the car, and since I was headed home from a photo session, my camera was right at hand.

It's already July.<br />
I can't believe it. In many ways, my garden is further along than it was last year at this time, but in others, it feels like things are running behind. Tomatoes have set, with more fruit on each plant than I think I saw all of last year (we really didn't get much fruit at all), and along with the fruit, the plants are beginning to look a bit pathetic. On the first of July! Peppers are beginning to fruit happily, but the plants are still small which makes me think my yields will not be very high at all. Our first real cucumber has appeared, but squash and zucchini are still woefully behind (I think we were harvesting armfuls at this time last year…not started from seed, but still). This I know is because I set all of the large and vining plants in a new area behind the house rather than in the raised beds out front, where the plants thrived last year (and I planted another zucchini seed and two cucumber seeds in those front beds when some space opened up, a few weeks to a month later than the ones planted out back, and the newer plants have caught up to the older ones). <br />
This seventh blog post of the year brings a real image of my garden. I have chosen not to omit the less-beautiful parts, including the diseased leaves of my tomatoes and the brassica leaves full of holes and caked with powder. It's important to remember what was happening when, though it's not so nice to look at. For the past few weeks I have been battling cabbage worms, who found my cauliflower, romanesco, and kale plants and began to make themselves at home. Shredding the leaves, infesting the baby cauliflower heads, laying eggs or waste or whatever it was and generally bumming me out. I purchased a bag of diatomaceous earth and sprinkled the plants heavily, then fertilized with fish emulsion in hopes of making stronger plants to withstand the pests (recommended by the guy at Lowe's when I went in looking for BT). The bugs left, but the plants still bear the scars. One of the romanesco heads out front looked like it suffered more than the others once the bugs finally left, so I yanked it out and found the roots crawling with grubs. Disgusted, I built a fire and burned the plant.<br />
The tomatoes are another story. Fruit appeared a month and a half earlier than it did last year, which means that fungus began to show itself earlier as well. The lower leaves are spotting, yellowing and eventually curling up to die, making the plants look haggard. I think I have diagnosed the problem as septoria leaf spot, but maybe someone can correct me. It seems the fungus grows happily on wet leaves, which would make sense since I have to water my garden from the top of the hill (short hose) and the leaves get sprayed. I also think I have overwatered the tomatoes so far. Many leaves have already fallen off, decreasing the plants' ability to gather sunlight and produce fruit. Maybe my hopes for a high yield of tomatoes this year have died with the leaves…<br />
This is organic gardening. <br />
and a few from the iPhone...<br />

About a month ago, Evin and I took our first camping trip together. We went with friends and drove a few hours south to Cave Mountain Lake, which truly was in the middle of nowhere! It was Evin's first *real* camping trip but we still had a few welcome comforts, including bathrooms, warm showers, and access to water. I myself hadn't been camping in probably ten years…I used to go with family and with Girl Scouts, but camping as a kid is much different!<br />
We arrived and set up camp, roasted hotdogs over the fire and were playing cards around the table by candle- and lantern-light when the rain came. We retreated to our tents and listened to the thunderstorm…Evin and I were sleeping in a borrowed tent, hoping desperately that the thing was going to be completely waterproof. While we felt damp all night, the tent stayed more or less dry and we were able to wake up…slightly stiff…to a rain-free morning. The guys had to venture out in search of dry firewood and butter (HOW could I have forgotten the butter?) so we could cook our breakfast of potatoes, bacon and eggs. Campfire coffee and tea in enamelware cups went along with our meal before we cleaned up and headed over to the lake to hike around and eat lunch. We relaxed in the afternoon, playing badminton using a rope tied between two trees and preparing the black pot dinner (all while warding off another rainstorm). Dinner finished cooking over the fire and we began to eat under a newly-rigged tarp when the rain began again, so we sat eating with one hand and holding up the tarp with the other, laughing and having a great time. The next morning we had pancakes (which weren't very good, especially since instead of butter, all we could find was margarine…yuck) and packed up…overall, a successful trip! We plan to have a couple more outings before summer's over…but first we need to buy our own tent.Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-58006608109123906912014-06-25T14:17:00.000-04:002014-07-25T09:03:02.397-04:00late june wildflowers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These days, I'm the kind of person scanning the landscape, looking in ditches and open fields for splashes of color. I'm looking for wildflowers, to see what's blooming now and to try identifying everything I come across. I was struck with an idea…what if I were to collect an array of currently available wild plants, which I'd use to make an arrangement? I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I started working for <a href="http://naturecomposed.com/">Nature Composed</a> a few months ago, which has allowed me to learn a lot about flowers and how to arrange them. Jenn makes gorgeous creations in all sorts of containers, perhaps my favorites being made in the footed bowl. So, I borrowed this bowl from her yesterday and went out with a bucket and scissors to see what I could find. I collected: wild sweet pea, queen anne's lace, trumpet creeper, tickseed, something I want to call thistle (but I'm not sure if that's right), something in the onion family, ferns and grasses. Other flowers seen but not collected include chicory, black-eyed susan and daylily (I am not a fan of lilies in general and I've found the daylily doesn't do well in the house anyway).<br />
Perhaps in a month I will take another sampling of wildflowers for another arrangement…it could be a fun project to do throughout the year (wish I'd thought of it three months ago!).Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-83062105398589895032014-06-18T20:35:00.000-04:002014-06-18T20:35:16.680-04:00black raspberry ice cream<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's black raspberry season, you guys. And it's hot.<br />
We have had mild weather so far this year and it has been marvelous. This week, the temperatures are starting to behave more like a Virginia summer…mid-90s and humid. Of course, this week is also when the black raspberry pickin' is good. I've been out three times so far, in my jeans and bug spray, picking soft little berries and catching my clothes on the thorns. It has been hot, sticky work and while I'm doing it I think "this is a lot of work and I should just keep all these berries/their resulting treats to myself."<br />
And then I made this ice cream. And it is so gorgeous and tasty that I <i>want</i> to share. <br />
I want to share how I did it too, in case you know of a good raspberry patch and are feeling ambitious. It's so easy--not like a traditional ice cream using cooked egg yolks. <br />
<br />
<i>Black Raspberry Ice Cream</i><br />
<br />
based on the strawberry ice cream recipe I use (sadly I can't remember where I originally got it)<br />
<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
1 cup milk<br />
about 2 cups black raspberries<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
a pinch of salt<br />
<br />
Purée the berries in a blender or food processor (it might help to add a little bit of milk or cream to aid the pureeing process…that's what I did). Black raspberries are full of seeds…if you want a smooth, seedless ice cream, you'll want to strain them out. Place the purée in a mesh strainer and force as much juice/pulp through as you can. This is the most tedious part, and you probably won't get every bit of juice out (at least, I didn't…and I transferred the purée back and forth a few times to rinse the seeds out of the strainer). Then, just combine with the rest of the ingredients and chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to freeze the mixture in your ice cream machine. Follow the instructions for your ice cream machine and enjoy! (you'll want to place the just-churned ice cream in the freezer for awhile so it has a chance to set up before you take your first scoop).Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-89986104099519290352014-06-16T16:33:00.001-04:002014-06-16T16:33:33.602-04:00karly gardens: june 16, 2014<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Since I was a little late on my last Karly Gardens post, I thought this one could be just slightly late too. I guess when the 1st and 15th fall on busy summer weekends, it's bound to happen! <br />
Last week my first little baby tomato appeared, and was shortly followed by many others. Last year I didn't see the beginnings of a tomato until mid-July and we weren't eating the ripe fruit until mid- to late-August I don't think, so this was a bit of a surprise! I'm betting the cherry tomatoes will start ripening before too long and hopefully we get a lot of them so I can actually learn to cook with them. The nasturtium are starting to bloom, which I just love. I've started to spot blooms on the cucumber plants and buds on the squash/zucchini. The cauliflower and romanesco plants, which have been in the garden the longest (apart from the pea and radish seeds I planted in early March), have finally started forming heads…I'll be watching closely! Last week I pulled the pea plants out as their production was winding down and I was ready to clear a space in the garden for later season things, including more beans and a small sowing of sweet corn. The carrots I planted in April (in a rectangular patch instead of in rows) have formed their own jungle, in which I spotted a small praying mantis this morning while trying to find a few decent-sized carrots to pull. I will tell you…I really like pulling carrots. <br />
The sunflowers are growing tall and soon I will have other blooms to enjoy apart from the nasturtium (including zinnias and cosmos). The garden is looking just gorgeous and I am still feeling grateful that things are <i>growing</i> outside!<br />
Another note…last week several thunderstorms rolled through in the evenings and one of those took a large limb out of our bradford pear tree in front of the house. I knew that tree was weak and we would have to cut it down before too long, and now we certainly have a good reason. The limb fell forward down the hill and missed my garden by a foot or two…I certainly got lucky on that one. If the garden had been crushed I would have been so devastated!<br />
I can't believe the next garden post will be in July. I guess time flies when you're having fun!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282778235460166021.post-60754532426846877752014-06-09T15:10:00.001-04:002014-06-09T15:10:26.218-04:00erin & kevin / married! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Erin and Kevin were married on top of a mountain on the last day of May. The setting was a rocky outcropping in <a href="http://www.nps.gov/shen/index.htm">Shenandoah National Park</a>, the weather was lovely, and photographing their special day was such a treat! <br />
Though it was a simple and sweet mountaintop elopement, the details were lovely…Erin's lacy gown and sparkly belt, Kevin's fancy argyle socks, their rose gold wedding bands and the gorgeous <a href="http://naturecomposed.com/">Nature Composed</a> bouquet…everything was just gorgeous. Congratulations again to the newlyweds!Karlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07924243097983885123noreply@blogger.com0
