Fresh From the Garden

There is something deeply, deeply satisfying about eating food grown in our own garden. Enough that it makes me want to dig and plant again in the spring, despite the hard work and endless weeds. This evening for dinner we had chicken Caesar salad with romaine lettuce from the garden. We also had scrambled eggs from our chickens with spinach grown by Mina in her garden. For dessert we had rhubarb crumble made by Loulou. All delicious and made more so by dining outside in the balmy summer twilight air. Thank you, God, for seeds and plants and sunshine and air. Thank you for gardens and for all the spiritual lessons we learn from them.
