Hiding in the Jungle

Almost every evening, I go through our jungle of a garden. I use a stick as there are too many creepy crawlies and I move leaves around to see if anything is growing.

Last night before the thunderstorm hit (which lightening from that storm also hit our motherboard on our computer and did something wacky to both of our air condtioning units, we have a techy friend that helped with the computer and the AC units just turned back on after an hour of not working, weird), I went outside with one of the kids' golf clubs and began poking around.

Look what we are having for dinner tonight:


No, not the children.

I knew we had a few green beans, but who knew there were this many! We call Emily the "green bean girl", so she was thrilled to help me gather all of these. She loves green beans.


I hadn't even seen this big guy growing. He's huge. I'm talking about the zucchini not my son, but I do think he hit a growth spurt lately too.
