Garden Fresh Fruits & Veggies

Two ripe raspberries


Yesterday morning around 7:30 we went to our "other garden" to do some work. We've been working out there for several weeks now, weeding, composting, and all of the other HARD, HOT work that comes with gardening. Yesterday we got more fruit from our labor! First, here are some pictures from working in the garden yesterday. Then, you'll see the yummy fruit of our labor! :)

Busy working in the wonderful garden! :)



A bowl full of ripe, juicy raspberries! Yum, yum!

A Visit to the Martins ~

Happy July!

I'm finally getting around to posting about a visit we had with Dr. & Mrs. Martin and their daughters, last Thursday. We had a great 3 hours of visiting and eating a super-salad-lunch! Thank you, Dr. Jobe, Mrs. Jenna Dee, Ms. Taryn and Ms. Mirren, for your hospitality! We are very appreciative.

Visiting around the lunch table. (Yes, Johanna has her eyes closed!) :)

Please check out their two websites, here and here. They have a very important ministry.

Jaden ~

Recently Jaden has changed appearance a little. First, he lost his third tooth. Then, he got a hair cut. We love you Jaden! :)

Photo of the Week ~

A Surprise Lilly (I think?) I didn't do any editing, all of the colors are original. I was very please at how it came out. I took it this morning, after a good shower. The effect with the rain drops on it is very neat!
