The Garden

Bryan, Nate Henry and Luke have planted a garden in our backyard. Well, Nate, Henry & Bryan did most of the work, Luke just sat on the grass and watched. They are so very excited about it. Nate told me, "Mom, You're gonna be so happy. You're not gonna have to go back to the grocery store anymore." (I wish!) And for several nights now, his bedtime prayers have included the garden. One night he prayed that the giant pumpkins would grow giant in a tall way, not a fat way so they wouldn't smush all the other vegetables. And every morning before school he wants to go see if anything has sprouted. They planted mostly seeds, and a few tomato & pepper plants. If only we had a cow, maybe I could avoid the grocery store this summer.
