Proud momma

     So today I harvested my first handfuls from our garden. I plucked about 20 cherry tomatoes and 4 jalapenos,  grinning the whole time. What a great feeling it is to plant a seed, give some care and then be rewarded with such a gift. I was simply giddy.
     Shawn was down in the "Enchanted Foorest" and I couldn't wait for him to come out of the woods to show him. With arms stretched out in front of me, cupped hands full of tomatoes,  I brave mosquito heaven and headed for the woods. Luckily,  he was coming out at the same time, ( I don't know how he can stand the mosquitoes that long). He looked up at me coming at him with a goofy look on my face and just laughed at me.
     I said, " I feel like a proud momma!"
     He just laughed again, but he did look in my hands and was pretty impressed.
     " Holy cow! Well hold on. Let me get the camera..."

     Look at those beauties! Some fat, juicy things. The larger tomatoes are just starting to turn the slightest bit orange.  I know canning salsa is just around the corner and we have to do quite a bit of salsa this year due to the requests! It's so good that we can eat a jar in one sitting. Fresh is so much better. Hear that? Grow your salsa!

     It was a wonderful night. I think in the next few posts, we'll start introducing you to our family. They are too wonderful not to share! 

Have a wonderful evening!
