I went to a garden party.....

Well, not really, but by the time the evening was over, it sure seemed like one!  I went over to the garden last night to start picking green beans so we could have some to take to the food pantry on Monday.  They were beautiful, as far as beans go.   :)

Anyway, I was probably out there about a half an hour, sweating away in the mud, when my friend, Jean came out of the church from peeling potatoes for a meal our church serves at a church in Des Moines.  Behind her,  followed 4 or 5 more church members ready to get muddy and help!  We picked over 7 gallons of green beans, 4 gallons of peas, cucumbers, zucchinis, broccoli, peppers and rhubarb.  Jean and I took that over this morning, along with some donations from the church collection cart.  They were so excited to see us!


 What a blessing it is to share with those that could use a bit of help!  (And the garden party wasn't bad either!)
