Summer Harvest


A visit to Yo-Yo's.....






Let me introduce my mother, also known as Yo-Yo. It's been several years since she's been able to do a vegetable garden. With work schedules and life being too hectic she just hasn't had the time to do one. This year she went all out and finally built a fabulous garden. Complete with fencing and flowers and mulch border. I have to say I was quite impressed with it. 
I watched River boy enter the garden. As I was taking the picture I was flooded with memories. I have many memories from my childhood being in her gardens. Everything was just exploding with life. The tomatoes were all turning that juicy red. More beans than you could pick. Zucchini just waiting to  be picked up. Corn starting to sprout. Marigolds lining the perimeter. 
As we showed the boy what to do. We dove into the harvest. Why wait to get back to the house to enjoy a fresh tomato? There's nothing better then picking 
beans off the vine and eating them right there.

Thank you Mr. DOT man

Hope you have a great day! 




I drive this road a lot. It doesn't matter what kind of day I've had. As soon as I cross over the smiley face, I'm grinning from ear to ear. Thank you Mr. DOT man, whoever you are.
