For a kid who doesn't take too kindly to bugs these days, Sedona sure was smitten with some grubs and caterpillars that we plucked from community garden broccoli this morning. She rescued them from certain doom and carried them in a water bottle the rest of the day. Enjoyed a few tasty green peppers along the way as well. I have to say that it hadn't occurred to me until today to bite into a pepper as if it were an apple. Small are the greatest innovators of our time.
We are in the early stages of creating a community garden on our church lot that will benefit OASIS food pantry. Sedona and I volunteer there every week and dig through boxes of sludgy produce, searching for salvageable items. Our community garden will provide the pantry with fresh, organic produce from early spring through fall next year and boy oh boy are we excited. Be assured - there will be plenty of pictures to share.
Adelaide and Sedona enjoy a little pepper break on a nearby doorstep.

So how did you like biting into the pepper? I never thought of that either. Maybe I'll try it. I guess the caterpillars were saved from one certain doom, but met another :)
Ya know. . . it was kind of nice. I do prefer a red pepper to a green anyday but there was something fresh and lovely about one straight out of the garden.
