VEGEBRATION!!!

I'm stealing that word from my friend Wendy Sue's blog...with her permission of course. lol! Don't ya just love that word...vegebration?!!! It describes exactly what has been going on at our house over the past few weeks. This is just one of the many reasons that I LOVE this time of year!! Here are a few pictures of our vegebration! :)
I think Isaac said he picked 24 cucumbers on this day. We are eating lots of cukes! I was gone when Heidi got home one night and left her a note about dinner. She called and asked "what do you mean I need to eat up some cukes?" LOL!!! I didn't have to ask her twice. She loves them!
We've also been eating a lot of squash. We didn't plant any squash, but James' family has been keeping us supplied. They have a LOT!
And, of course corn on the cob.....a summer favorite. We don't plant corn either, but have THE BEST sweetcorn at a nearby fruit farm. And, here is proof that corn on the cob can be eaten without your front teeth. ;)

We just picked our first carrots this week and some of the mators are starting to turn orange, so we should have those soon as well. YUM!

This is pretty fun too.....at the end of the school year Isaac came home with a cup containing a small sunflower seedling. We planted it the beginning of May

....and here it is now! Amazing huh?! No clue why it is bowing it's head now. This happened following a strong rain shower last week. I like to think that it is bowing it's head in prayer along with the rest of the family. Praying that Tom will be able to get a job close to home soon so that he can be back where he belongs! Please continue to pray that our family can all be together again soon....her in Michigan!!

Hope you all are also enjoying the bountiful blessings of summer.......and your own vegebrations!

Love,

Wendy

ps Tom and Jacob home late tonight. YAY! :)

What a bountiful garden!! I'll continue to pray for your family that Tom finds a job close to home, Wendy. When my DH has to go out of town, which is rare, it is very hard on all of us. I know that you miss him terribly...
love,
hollym.
