Corn & Tomatoes & Cucumbers & Melons & New Potatoes & a Kohlrabi Too!

Today was another wonderful day. We drove the ninety miles from Ponderosa Falls RV Park to Menno Mennonite Church. After church, we checked on the winter wheat that our farm tenant had sown a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, the fields are turning nicely green. Now we need to pray for the Fall rains.

From the ranch we drove to Moses Lake to my Brother Patrick and Cindy's home. We watched the Seahawks game on his new TV with them and Nephew Nick. By the time the game was over both of my nieces, Becky and Ashley, and their families had also joined us. This is the first time we had met Jackson Patrick, our newest great-nephew who was just born in May. He was proudly dressed by Mommy Ashley in his Seahawks shirt, matching his daddy Kyle's.

It was a delight to see how much Becky and David's little boys have grown in the year we have been gone. Carter (4) and Case (2) are definitely all boy. They wore me out just watching them play!

Later in the afternoon, we had a wonderful barbeque with mushrooms, shrimp, squash, onions and steak skewers. Add a fresh melon salad and a peach huckleberry pie and we definitely had a feast. It was again such a lovely evening that we sat outside on the patio to eat. This is a snapshot of my brother with little Jackson as Niece Becky looks on --

When we got ready to leave, Pat loaded up Toad with all kinds of goodies from his garden. We have fresh corn, new red potatoes, a box of heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, a cantaloupe and a honeydew melon and even a kohlrabi! We'll eat well this week!
