Just another garden update!

If you're thinking: "Is the only exciting thing in Kylie and Garrett's life their garden???" then you would be correct! Just kidding-but sometimes it sure does seem like it! I actually picked these carrots last week. One of the carrots didn't look very "carroty" at all (as you will see from the pictures). In fact, it looked downright strange. I finally got enough courage to eat it, and it didn't even taste very carroty. It didn't taste bad, but just not like a carrot. More like a carrot crossed with a turnip or something like that. The other carrots looked and tasted like carrots though, just in case you were worried.

Right now, it is raining very steadily outside (as it has been all day), and I find myself grateful for the moisture that our corner of the desert has so desperately needed! The little garden out back is definitely getting all the water it needs!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

After a busy holiday season, things are winding down and I decided to take a few minutes to write an update letter and to write a blog post. 

First is an updated picture of our garden. The carrots are almost ready to eat; everyday there are 2 or so pods of peas ready to eat, and we've been snacking on lettuce occasionally (as you know from a previous post). The broccoli and onions still have a few more weeks before they will be ready to eat.

I also thought I would include a picture of our little Christmas tree...complete with Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate underneath it!!! My parents brought the hot chocolate down from Canada with them. I LOVE Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate! If any of the people reading this blog ever go to Canada, take my advice and eat at a Tim Horton's! I really like their donuts (in my opinion, donuts from Tim Horton's taste much better than any of the donuts I have eaten in the U.S.A.) and their hot chocolate. 

The bottom picture is of Garrett and I at a church Christmas dance in December for young married couples. It felt nice to get dressed up! It was the first time Garrett and I danced since our wedding reception. Needless to say, we both have to work on our dancing skills. In spite of that, we had a good time.
