Growing a garden is such a labor of love. We are excited to see what each new day of sunshine brings. The most amazing thing is watching the seeds slowly push the dirt away and GROW. As we walk the rows, we celebrate every new leaf. But the best part of working the garden is the HOURS of quiet togetherness that Matt and I get. This is the season of the garden when it is just waking and you can keep track of each new leaf, each little bud. Soon it will be too busy to take note of...the full bloom of production. But now the work is plentiful, the hands are again sore and calloused, and the garden (unique every year) starts to take shape. How blessed we are to have room to plant and grow!

Elizabeth, your garden is growing and growing! It is so beautiful. Unfortunately for us folks in Wyoming, gardening is a next-to-impossible goal. :( I have an idea! How about sending us those gorgeous carrots?
