Law of the Harvest

We finally planted a garden this spring. It took some ingenuity, engineering and many more hours then expected, but we finally built a deer-proof growing space. We have been eating peas and lettuce now from our garden for the past few weeks.  It is so satisfying to go and pick some vegetables that you have grown and tended for dinner. I want to always remember Grace running into the house, her hands full of homegrown peas and a smile of wonder on her face.  She was the first to sample them, but we have all eaten our share. Does anyone ever grow enough peas that they make it to the dinner table? We just seem to eat them straight from the vines.

The kids each have their own area to plan, plant, tend and harvest. I know it is small, but it is a beginning. There is so much eternal truth to learn from the Law of the Harvest. We will see if we can keep our thumbs green all the way through the heat and humidity of summer...

 Molly loves peas too!

Twin Day

Grace and Sophie's school had a "twin day" today. The girls have been planning for couple weeks what they would wear. An old pair of glasses with no lenses were resurrected with their Papa's help. $5 dollar t shirts were purchased.  I even had trouble this morning telling them apart. They thought it was really funny. I think it is funny that my twins are so excited about dressing up as twins!
