Harvesting and sickness

Grace's friend, Jared, asked her to homecoming.

It's so nice to sit on the patio and look at our garden.

Danny's been excited all week for the BYU game this weekend. He actually started counting down more than a week ago.

We processed a ton of our garden tomatoes, garden rosemary, and garden basil for soup.
