Corn and Potatoes!

Our garden is doing very well! We went out there yesterday evening as a family and picked a lot of corn off the stalks and dug up the potatoes from the ground. The kids really got into it and were WONDERFUL helpers. We never heard them complain...wow!! I got a lot of really cute pictures of the kids and Ricky...there's just something special about being outside in the country!! ;o) Enjoy!!

We put all the corn and peas in the freezer then we share the other veggies with neighbors, family, and friends! ;o) You could say we eat ALOT of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and okra...YUM!! I'm trying to find new recipes to add more variety.
