We get about 18 eggs a week from our 3 girls!







Enjoying

the
beauty of


the
Garden!
















































Jackie was so excited to use scissors to cut the tomatoes from the plant!
The tomatoes were ready for harvest so we decided to make a small bowl of salsa!
We have been letting the garden decide whats for dinner!


What is ripe?

How can I use the 20 or so herbs I have growing in my garden?

Tonight for dinner I will make homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade bread!
So bye for now...there is cookin' to do!

You can go over to The Rustic Kitchen (my other blog) to see the salsa we made! (and other yummy recipes!)


Blessings for a wonderful day!
