Pop's cup --er, garden-- overfloweth
The Girl and GirlCousin pick sugar peas
My own Little Sal "guards" the day's vegetables. By "guard" she clearly means EAT.
The day's haul. (After sharing with friends!) Bounty, indeed.

The Rogue Pea-Eater
I thought I could pick a few early sugar snap peas from Pop's garden yesterday and add them to a salad or something.... but the dangerous Rogue Pea-Eater got to them first.
I ended up with FIVE.
*sigh* At least she's a good vegetable-eating thief.
It's summery growing goodness!
"What happened to all the peas?!!"
"I'm just sitting here talking to the peas. Welllll.... to tell the truth: I ate them."

Pop the Farmer, himself.
Oh heyyyy. Looky here!
It's summery growing goodness!

More Summer!
It was a hard winter. But this summer is making up for it!
Pop's garden is bursting at the seams:
The Girl and my parents and I went for a hike on Friday. It's one of our favorite hikes, back to a little rapids and waterfall.
And now we're overrun with cousins.
It's a great summer.

Pea plants as tall as The Boy

What? Doesn't everyone have peas in their car console?

Mmmmmm
While we've been entertaining visiting family over the past week, Bob and his father and coworkers have feverishly been preparing (and repairing) camps and boats and docks for customers on The Lake. So.... there hasn't been much work accomplished on the new house. But, things are great on the eating front. Aside from the pot-luck 4th o' July picnic that stretched the whole weekend, we've got home-grown food covered pretty well.
We are co-parenting some pigs -- Inky and Pinky -- with some friends. We're more like the non-custodial parents, though. We feed them when our friends are away. Despite the fact that the kids have named them, they aren't pets; they're eatin' pigs. Yummy, yummy eatin' pigs.
Additionally, we are overflowing with leafy greens! My parents went on a two-week trip to the midwest, leaving me in charge of eating everything from the garden. It's a big job. I've ...er.... blessed all the family I can find and a few unfortunate friends with buckets of kale, spinach and lettuce and, based on The Husband's reaction at dinner last night, I'd better not make any more spinach dishes for dinner here. But, the sugar snap peas and beans are coming along nicely and next week we'll be short of lettuce and awash in beans.
The message here is: I will be flush with things to whine about all summer!

Please don't be disturbed by the fact that I said we're parenting something we're going to eat in four months. It's just my way.

Apparently, I think strawberries need to be photographed in my hand and nowhere else.
My father's strawberry plants were really productive this year! And I ATE THEM ALL. Except what Bob and The Girl ate straight off the plants before I could get to 'em.
Here's some non-food pictures from the past week or so, just to prove we don't only think about eating.
Just mostly.
Yes, it was 80 degrees that day. Artists are notoriously counter-culture.
Happy Summer!
