Veggie Love & Chalk

Beets, beets, beets - for supper, lunch and snacks. We love 'em. They
turn your hands red - and that's not all !!




















A different kind of veggie love....






































Jake came up with the idea to get classrooms at UNCA to
save their chalk nubs in these cans he designed. They're
then ground and taken to the gym where athletes use them
in weight lifting. Less gym chalk to buy. More savings and
more recycling.

New Drivers

Jake gives Franklin a lesson on his new motorcycle.
















Then turns him loose.
















A lot of stalling out but so far so good.
















Mallika learns to drive stick thanks to Jake. She had lots
of stalls too but is going to keep at it. She's with us till mid-
August when she'll go back to school at New College in
Florida.

The Lord's Acre in May

An overview of our spring crops and the shed. We're gardening
a half-acre, this year.


















Part of the field crop area. Here we put in locust posts for the
tomatoes and beans. We also have squash and may put okra
in this area, too.


















A close-up of cabbage. This makes a nice desktop background.



















Freesia, one of our three, female interns. She's here for June
and July. Here she's peeling kohlrabi for our fundraiser
potluck.
