It's been a whirlwind of routine changes. Hubby was switched to nights (temporarily) and is home sleeping all morning now. I have to change my work load, and we have to be very very quiet.
I have to take my laundry out the front door and around the house, so I don't wake him up, going in and out the door.
Also, I have to have dinner done by 4pm. That is impossible. So....each dinner (done by 8pm now) is Hubby's next day meal to take to work. Adjustments made.
This basket of goodies was from day two of picking green beans (and peas and cucumbers). Today is day three. I'm thrilled to be filling my freezer once again. And of course we ate a lot at dinner the other night. I also cooked peas one night. Oh my gosh they smelled so good when I boiled them! I have had to buy these in stores for two years now, and am so thankful for this bounty.

Garden ~ Herb Garden
The zucchini is doing well, and cucumbers are just now starting to come in. Our hot peppers and green bell peppers are behind, and we do not have any broccoli yet (oddly, it's usually the first). I'll be out picking peas, and maybe green beans today. It all depends on how well this last small bit of rain did.
Picked our first cucumber this year. Delicious! We only had one ripe one, so I am hoping we get many at once to can pickles.
