  2. Pickles! I don't like pickles. At all. But my boys do and it pleases me greatly for them to enjoy the ones that I make. Sadly, I have never succeeded in growing cucumbers. I also always seem to miss them at the market. Growing seasons here still baffle me after all these years.

  3. Oh Laura, your green house was such a success! And I remember you feeling doubtful about it at some point.
    My little three year old is also wearing those green shoes, passed down from a big brother!
    That salad looks so scrumptious.
    We're doing apples now too, and our window sills are lined with green tomatoes.
