Early Bird

The vegetable gardens were both completed before June 1st this year, when, on normal years, the gardens haven't even been plowed by that date.

We have this good man to thank, my brother Piotr, who drove up with a couple of his boys and spent the day preparing my mom's and our gardens.  It still feels unreal to have everything in the ground.






Millie took these pictures while I was inside nursing Cadence.







They make me happy-sad, because they're such a close parallel to these.

We can't thank you enough, Pete.  Visit this summer and we'll stuff your van full of zucchini, and that's not an empty threat promise.
