Good Day

Today was a good day. I was able to harvest...

a bowl full of snap peas
a large bowl of lettuce
a bowl full of strawberries

oh and I got 6 eggs from the chickens.

Tonight for dinner we had steamed sugar snap peas from the garden, I added chives picked from the pot on our deck to the mashed potatoes I made and for dessert we are having strawberry angel food cake with strawberries picked this afternoon.

I love being able to grow my own food. It feels good to be able to provide my family with healthy, delicious foods grown right in our own backyard.
