Harvest Party "2010"

Our First Annual
HARVEST PARTY
Enjoying the harvest of our Labors
and the blessings of the Lord,
as our labor would be in vain was in not
for the blessings from Him.
A plentiful harvest!!
(Thank you, Lord, once again.)
There's no better way to enjoy the harvest,

than with friends.

It was HOT, HOT, HOT.

(The temp. was more than 98 and less than 110 :)

The harvest is plentiful,

and on this day the laborers are plentiful, too.
Jackson is disappearing fast.

James and Oliver in deep discussion about the terrarium,

and what critter should reside in there next.
Having some fast fun in the dirt.

Icy cold melon.

(What could be better on a HOT day?)
Delightfully refreshing.

Ahhh, looks like so much fun! Wish we were there to enjoy it too. =)Y'all deserved the party and celebration because I know you work very hard all year round. Isn't the Lord good to give us like minded friends to enjoy our days with?!
Thank you Lord for your bountiful provision and goodness to all!
Thanks for the FUN post!

Produce from the garden in abundance. Amazing. Here in Arizona I'm happy to get a few things here and there. A few tomatoes, lots of mint, some lettuce and some basil. You all have it down pat!

Your Harvest Celebration looks like a lot of fun. We were just in Ohio and the humidity was unbearable until it rained. How do you all work and play in the heat and high humidity?
