Our one and only pumpkin--and it looks to be a BYU Cougar fan! See the "Y"?
The broccoli was and continues to be fantastic! We've been eating it all season.
Mammoth Sunflowers.
A smaller variety--can't remember the name--but cute!
The peppers finally turned red!
Our row o'tomatoes.
Our other row o'tomatoes.
More delicious broccoli.
My new welcome sign.
The last of the beans--I pulled them all up today and we planted lettuce in their place.
A friendly visitor--hanging out with the sunflowers.

In the garden I also cultivate deep thoughts....like this one by Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" "Gone where?" Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout." Here she comes!"
What lucky family members on the other side, who got to take up the glad shout:
"Here she comes!"
What a great harvest for the Lord and all our loved ones that are embracing her now.
