Harvest

Fall FUN 2014 - Day 23 - HARVEST

This summer, I planted my first garden.  I can't tell you how fun it has been to plant things and watch the grow from seeds.  As the seeds broke through the ground, I was so excited.

When they grew a little more and developed leaves.  I took pictures.

As the peas needed staking, I worked to keep them wrapped around the twine.

And then came the first HARVEST.

Yes, I know it was small in comparison to some, but it just made my day.

This time of year, always reminds me of the trips to the cotton fields I took as a child, and when the girls were young.  Riding in a trailer full of freshly HARVESTED cotton was a memory I will never forget.  (I even remember losing a beautiful "diamond" ring---a gift from my brother from the gumball machine-- in one of those trailers full of cotton).  

What memories do you have of HARVEST?   Is there something in your area that is being HARVESTED right now?
