It is *That time of year*  again~ I was sitting here reminissing~~~  when i was a youngster ~ still at home~ My parents has two lots~ One of the lots was where we lived in a little white house that grandpa had built with a white picket fence around it~ the other lot was entirely *Garden*
  Mom would get up early in the morning and get us kids fed and the house work done ~~and outside she would go~ and be out there most all day long~ working in the huge  garden~
 Sometimes we would help with the weeding   ~ but being kids ~~ naturally our attention span wasnt   as it should ~and could have been  ~ because there were so many other distractions  ~
 In between the weeding~ mom would gather a few fresh vegetables and take them inside the house and that would be what we had for supper~ When i think about ~the lovely fresh vegetables cooking i can remember the delicious  taste and flavours~and smells throughout the house~
 Today  with the homes being in such close proximity ~there really isnt much room for any type of vegetable garden ~   but most places have some flowers and maybe a little bit of lawn~The solution  might be to rent a garden space   but then again ~  with most couples~~ both working ~it isnt feasible ~and wouldnt be enjoyable ~because  it would  be simply ~an extra chore~
 We are quite fortunate these days  as there still are a few market gardens around  that one can go and buy fresh produce  all summer long~ There is even a Farmers Market on Tuesdays as well~ that has fresh vegetables and much more~ so you can still get a taste of the past~ At this point i think i shall take a drive down to the vegetable cellar and see what they have ready from thier garden ~
