Mystery solved. We’ve got pumpkins… These are the first of many…although none of them really look alike. We also have what we think is a scallop squash and an albino pumpkin. Cross-breeding in action?
Sigh, I think we’re going to be making a lot of cookies and pie…
Happy Thursday!
What are you growing? Any mystery plants in your garden? Have any good pumpkin recipes to share?
Happy Friday-Random Updates

I don’t know about you, but I am beat.
You may have noticed a few changes in appearance at this little blog. I’ve been playing around with the layout and I’d love your feedback!
As for weekend plans, I have a long run (as long as my feet cooperate), a baby shower and possible dinner with friends. At the very least, I have some much needed hubby-time penciled in and I cannot wait!
Other than that, I don’t have to much to report today, but I wanted to share this garden picture… mostly because I think it’s pretty neat.
Squash has taken over the garden!
I realize I haven’t been posting much about the garden this year, so to be continued!
Happy Weekend! Any big plans?
What are you growing this season?
It Just Tastes Better. Period.

Especially if it’s from your own backyard. There’s just something about knowing exactly how your food is grown and being able to pick it at its peak freshness. It never gets old.
Monday, I had the pleasure of assisting Farmer Ben in the garden… with my current work schedule, it hasn’t happened enough lately. Needless to say, it was glorious. It felt good to dig right into the dirt and pull out all the things we’ve grown. I think I enjoyed the potatoes the most–so much fun!
So… I’ll say it again… nothing compares to fresh picked food. It’s just amazing.
Here are just a few pictures of our garden adventure:
It feels so good seeing the fruits (and veggies) of our labor.
I am so blessed to have such a talented, hard-working hubs! Thank you, Farmer Ben!
