God has graciously provided a very productive garden for us this year. The winter squash are so productive that they hide other vegetables. Namely cucumbers. Yesterday I went in search of cucumbers after avoiding the garden for a few days.

Although I do try to get out to the garden daily and search for produce that is ready to harvest I can still miss stuff due to the big  huge gigantic squash plants. They have grown into and over almost everything. By the time I find some of the stuff is has grown to Guinness Book of World Record size. Or at least runner up.

Well, when you have boys this is what they choose to do with the cucumbers (and a couple of zucchini)…

They might be dorks but their MY dorks and I love them.

Some day those imaginations of theirs may just discover the cure to cancer, or solve the question of “what is dark matter?” , or they will figure out “why the sun’s corona is so hot”, or maybe, just maybe they will discover a means of traveling faster than the speed of light. Can you tell we have been studying astronomy this summer?

Whatever it is I am sure I’ll be documenting it for all of you. Cheer leading is probably my favorite part of parenting.
