July Harvest Begins, 2019

 Maren (with her growing and kicking "little" on board!) visited Elsa and me last week. Special day!


While Elsa made our version of Zuppa Toscana for supper, Maren and I did some harvesting.


Our first big picking of tart bush-cherries made a yummy dessert topped with coconut crumble topping we already had in the freezer as well as coconut ice cream. And all the cherries in the photo above were left over for Maren to take home and freeze!


The raspberries are also beginning with huge, sweet berries (unlike last year's unusually tart crop.)


Every meal now contains plenty of fresh greens: kale, spinach, and lettuces. Zucchini is just beginning, and we are past the first flush of strawberries.


Fresh, crispy cucumbers are such a treat again... especially with fresh dill weed which transports us back to the Russian countryside in one whiff!


O LORD, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom have You made them all;
the earth is full of Your creatures....
These all look to You,
to give them their food in due season.
When You give it to them, they gather it up;
when You open your hand, they are filled with good things.

Psalm 104:24, 27-28
