The Warmth of Friends and a Garden

This past weekend Carrie and Phillip were thrown an Engagement Party by a good friend. It was hosted at a local Thai restaurant where many of their close friends came to wish them a congratulations. Here are a few shots that were taken of the bridesmaids, with the exception of Anna who couldn’t make it.

Also this past weekend, we finished the garden. Carrie and I ran to Merrifield Garden Center where we purchased two pairs of gloves and the finishings of our vegetable selection. The garden now has cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and green beans. Phillip and Carrie picked a bucket of strawberries from Pop’s patch in the front yard and I grabbed a few more myself and cut them up last night for lunch today.

Many memories have been made in this backyard of Mom and Pop’s with the garden to add to that list. And I have noticed that the grass looks particularly green as of late (probably because of the rain). When the sun is shining and it’s crisp out, there is little satisfaction that rises above gazing at their freshly cut grass and the big tree with the tire swing.
