This week on the farm...

... there's red-ripe watermelon fresh from the garden cooling in the fridge, plump, juicy red tomatoes being sliced for sandwiches, crunchy cucumbers soaking in vinegar (with a touch of black pepper!), plump green butter beans in my lap being shelled by hand, sweet white-kerneled corn filling out and ready by the end of the week, pink, red and orange flowers in vases in three different houses (my 8yo grows her own row of zinnias and takes them to the neighbors), six baby purple martins learning to fly, and a home where every day I am amazed at the blessings of family, farm and a God who never runs out of grace.
