Backyard Adventures







This weekend, while Jon and Eli are in Nebraska, Asher and I have been hanging out in the backyard. Our friends/neighbors gave us a swing, which Asher absolutely loved. Check out the adorable video of him laughing!



Since we moved in mid-summer last year, this is our first season to have a garden at this house. We have really enjoyed working outside in it, as well as the fruits of our labor! Two tomato bushes (that look more like trees), a cherry tomato plant, green peppers, strawberries, two types of cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, and even carrots round out our little "farm".



The pic of Asher and some of the produce features "Jon's" cucumber, or so I claim, since it's shaped like a "J". Even though a hailstorm a few weeks ago threatened to destroy our plants, they were resilient and will hopefully survive to the first frost. Now, what to do with all the goodies...anybody want some zucchini bread or salsa? (not together) :)
