Enjoying the Fruit of Our Labor

Okay world, he is back. Final project is done and Pete is now officially a graduate of a Masters in Urban Planning program. He is slowly realizing and integrating his freedom. Why, just yesterday I watched him dancing naked in the backyard with a rooster mask on howling at the moon.

Well, maybe not, but the change is dramatic for both of us and we are enjoying life in our peaceful home.

Here is the BIG BIG news though. We just harvested our first tastes from our garden. There I was building this trellis for the sweet peas and low and behold I spy 3 peas. Only one was ripe for the chowing so...Ohhhhhhhhhh....peas.........Yum!! Oh yeah! Wow, and strawberries. Two were perfect for tasting. They are amazing. Just little younguns and producing sweet berries.Pete is really in bliss right now. Enjoying all his senses. Enjoying being outside away from his dreadful computer. Tasting our baby arugula.






Again. Wow. All of it tastes amazing. I am so very excited to enjoy the nibbles and meals this lovely garden will bring. Just planted some onions, so we'll see how those come up.
Finally my very own little piece of land to grow food on. Next year, chickens for sure.
