Summer harvest~

So you know we planted a garden in May and since Tara is out of town this week, I've been trying to take care of things. I've been over to water it a few times and I feel a little like Caroline Ingalls, ha! Tending to our crop... Except I don't have on the long skirt and there's no way my hair would go up into a bun!

Seriously, it's so fulfilling to go over and see veggies growing! It was Tara's vision. They plowed this piece of earth, bought most of the seeds and have done the vast majority of the hard work. The girls and I did help some, buying seeds and coming over to plant everything. But mostly it's been their labor of love. And I've gotten to tag along. This week, we are reaping some rewards of their effort.

Mom also brought us three bags of yummyness from my Nan's garden! Couldn't believe how big some of her tomatoes were! And the zucchini, squash, and cucumbers were much appreciated too! Check out these pics of these amazing veggies and some from our garden at Tara's.

So fun to to go out there with my girls and pick veggies! And then to come home and eat them...what a blessing and a treat! God is good!

Yummy!!! Don't the kids just love picking veggies that they've been involved in growing!?! Laurel is always out at our little (bitty) garden, checking to see what's ripe!

We love fresh veggies too! It is so amazing to watch one of God's miracles grow right before your eyes. Such a learning opportunity for the kids! I love that pic of Kennedy with the big tomato. LOL
