David's First Harvest

David has been carefully tending to his garden.

Look at the growth compared to just a few weeks ago

Operation garden planting is HERE

At first he was very discouraged and disappointed that his

VEGETABLE garden was producing FLOWERS

But I promised him that those little flowers would give way to

tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers.

He was skeptical!

But he kept checking on it every day and watering it.  

(more frequently than probably needed)

And about a week ago, I began getting excited, squealing reports about

a certain tomato that was turning red.  Boy did he show patience

to wait until it was fully ripe before picking it.

Today was the day.  His first harvest.  His first delicious harvest!

He plucked that baby with tender loving care!

And while he made a generous agreement to share with his sister,

he made it clear that he was going to have the first taste!

And then he shared....and they shared back and forth until it was gone!

Was it yummy?  Yes it was!

He was quite pleased with himself.

So we joyfully continue to wait for 

"God to get the rest ready". . .I'm sure we'll have another update on David's garden!
