Gardening

A while back, I posted about Kevin putting in two raised-bed gardens in our back yard. I thought I'd update on the progress of our vegetables. If I were like Heather, I'd have a special name for this (Like "The Home List") but....Gardening will have to do :) I'll be posting soon about another "Home List" type thing I've done this summer.

Here are our plants:

Lettuce

Tomatoes


Broccoli

Peas
(they grow fast and these three pictures show how the flower turns into the pod)



Carrots
We also have Zucchini (because we all know how much Kevin loves it!), Peppers, and Cucumber; but my pictures of those didn't turn out so great because I took them at dusk last night. We had a salad last night with the lettuce and peas from the garden....it was great! :)


And, most of you come for pictures of Chloe....So, here is the most recent!

Miss "Too Cool" Chloe and Kevin

Catching up on some reading

Oh, and you can use my oh-so-creative and clever title if you'd like!

We can't wait to camp with you all...Chloe and Grace and Leah will have SO much fun together.

Give "Miss Too Cool" a kiss from her buddy "Finally Got a Top Tooth" E.

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
