Peas and Pumpkins

Summer is wrapped up. Fall is here, and we find it irresistible. Our garden has done it’s work again for a season, providing us with such vegetables as….peas and pumpkins. Seriously, is that all we had in that large weed patch? Ah, well. But OH! what peas and what pumpkins we have had!!




Early in the spring, we labored -- look closely, Farrell expresses well the joy of hard work.


Jacob put forth his best effort.


David was in charge of the irrigation.


Early summer David enjoys a teasing of nature's candy -- garden fresh peas.


And finally, after months of sunshine and water (and unfortunately very little weeding) we get to savor the sweet reward. Pumpkins!
