The Cucumber that Made it

This Sunday we got our first vegetable from the garden!  Isn't it beautiful?

As we were in the middle of heatwave, neither of us had high exceptions for the garden.  We still don't really either unfortunately though this tiny cucumber and our first little green tomato gave us a bit of excitement.  The heat wave broke Sunday so now its just in the 90s every day instead of 100 plus.  

I am hoping to go work in the garden after work today, doing some weeding and trying to increase our chances of getting more than two whole vegetables out of it.  Also, I am trying to work on my tan since I'll be going home to upstate New York in a couple weeks and it will be hard to explain why I am paler then my family even though I live in a much hotter part of the country.

Only 15 days left at my job of two years.  It is a weird feeling of excitement for the future and also a bit of sadness since I have loved it here.  I am so excited about graduate school though, especially since yesterday I found out I received an graduate assistantship position :)

It is an excited time though!  Lots of changes and lots of happiness.
