First Steps and First Fruits

Molly is finally walking and our garden is finally producing vegtables!

Molly has been standing on her own now for months. However, she refused to walk. She would just stand up and stand there awhile and then crawl off. Mom and dad were here this weekend and she started walking to my dad. Sunday night she walked all the way down the aisle at church. I am sure it was because she had an audience. The bigger the better.


Last night we had squash from our garden for dinner. It was so exciting. All of my life my parents have had a garden. I will always remember my dad coming home from work, picking some vegtables and then making them for supper. When I was younger, fresh squash and cucumbers were not exciting. They were boring and overrated. However last night I peeled a cucumber and soaked it in vinger and ice (just like my daddy did every night) and it was like magic in my kitchen. It was so good.


Here is our garden and one of the tomato plants. We have tomatos galore. I am sure that momma and I will be canning soon.
