Harvest

We thank God for giving us a good harvest this year.  One thing we planted was sunflowers.  There are many people here who enjoy eating sunflower seeds.  Anna and Marina, two of the orphans who stayed with us were excited when we told them they could take sunflower seeds with them when they went back to the school.  

 Alex and Nicolas enjoyed sitting in the wheelbarrow with the sunflowers.

 By the time we were done, they were piled up with sunflowers.

 Valera's parents have enjoyed helping us in the garden this summer.  Valera's father also helped Valera  with a lot of other building projects including the playground and fence.

 Zarina and Alex helped pull the very big red beets.

We also had a big pile of Carrots.
Some other things we grew that I don't have pictures of are potatoes, pumpkins, peas, yellow beans, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, strawberries, raspberries, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, spinach, salad, and eggplant.  We thank God for a good harvest!
