Kelly and I were going about our merry way this evening getting ready for dinner when she suddenly stopped what she was doing and pointed.
“Jonathan,” she said, “look!”
And this is what we saw on a tree in our yard that, until today, had only produced leaves:
Yes… that’s right… a pear! We have a pear tree! We checked on our little vegetable garden and discovered that it had produced some sugar snap peas…
Around the front of the yard, we have a raspberry vine that had been very productive, too:
We’ve also got some zucchini coming up…
… and some beets …
… and some tomatoes…
… and strawberries …
… and roses …
We also have mint, rosemary, and other herbs and flowers all over the yard. Sometimes having to take care of the yard can be a chore–I’m not quite as quick or good at it as Kelly’s family, all of whom have been blessed with green thumbs–but on days like today it’s really worth it. Here’s Kelly displaying our first sugar snap peas by the vegetable garden:
A yard is a wonderful thing. Enjoy yours today.
I’d just like to mention that we only have one zucchini plant so we shouldn’t be overwhelming anyone with gifts of zucchini this year….maybe zucchini bread though. Yay for gardening! Jonathan has done a great job of joining in the fun!
