News from the Garden

The garden is doing great! Almost everything produced fruit. I got a dozen or so cucumbers, green beans, we made mint tea & guacamole with cilantro. We had rainbow carrots & broccoli with dinner just the other night. The tomato that wasn't eaten by critters was excellent, & there are three more tomatoes on the plant.
I tore almost everything out and am ready to plant a new crop of things - when I have some free time & motivation!)







July

Let's start at the end of June with Nathan's stitches. He put scissors through his hand. Three stitches in the fleshy part between hs thumb and index finger. He was a champ in the e.r. though!

July the 4th was a blast. We saw Waxhaw's parade with several families from our Sunday school class.




Just a few nights ago we had a failed pool party. We were thundered out, so we just had pizza and ice pops at home. 15 or so kids came. Everyone had a great time.

Tonight Dan went out to dinner with a friend, so we chilled out at home. The kids splashed in the kiddie pool & took turns being the life guard.
