Our first garden

I might love the country, I might live in the country but this country girl has a lot to learn in the kitchen. Especially with gardening. We have our first garden this year. And while everyone is canning and freezing. I'm just excited, like the kids, to be seeing food grow. We've learned first off that it needs to double in size for next years garden. But to be able to go in the back yard and grab some peppers or zucchini, or like today, grab potatoes and tomatoes, just for a healthy supper. I'm in heaven! I love that my kids just grab a few green beans, wash them and snack on them throughout the day! I have frozen a few things. But next year its all about jams, freezing, salsa and whatever else I need to do :) Now back to reading, learning and being taught how to be the country girl that I always wanted to be.  WITH A GARDEN!!! :)

Generations...

The older generation are kind and generous. And welcome each grand child and great grand child with open hearts and arms. No matter how good or bad your relationship is with your parents. The bind you have with gma/papa, or nana/papa, or oma/opa, which ever name you have for your grandparents, you will never forget!!
So with saying this, Eric and I also hope that our children cherish those years with their great grandparents and grandparents. Years that you can never get back and never want to forget!
