Behind...

Things always seem to be behind...

I am always behind schedule.
That juicy tomato is always hiding behind a large leaf.
Mosquitoes are always behind things ready to pounce when you pass.

But behind it all...
There's great satisfaction in knowing that the tomatoes and oregano in my pizza came from our garden.
There's great fun in watching Meredith discover those hidden tomatoes and pop them in her mouth.
There's great joy in learning how to work the land, grow our food, and see how God is using our garden to teach and grow our family.

Enjoy, these pictures from behind our house.


Look closely in the picture above, and you'll see some rare green beans hanging out.


Always great to have a volunteer cantaloupe in our garden.
(They come up every year from our compost.)


Kale - a great addition to morning smoothies.  
You wouldn't think, but talk about packing a vitamin punch!


The rooftop garden with melons, cucumbers and squash galore.



Jane's flower patch from whence cometh the means to bring color and freshness to our table.
