| Our first peach from a tree in the nursery, tiny but tasty! |
It is too early to plant but this will make field preparation much easier for the farmers.
The irrigated gardens look great.

I totally LOVE all of these pictures!! Next best thing to being there with you! The pictures bring things to life, and it looks like the Lord has given you many inroads to use the gifts, talents, training and experiences you have had before now. And Fritz is growing up very fast!! Becoming quite a young man, for sure! Love and blessings to all of you, as I pray for you here in Iowa! Alice Z
