The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Vanessa and I have bought a house in the historic Garfield Park South neighborhood in Indianapolis. It's beautiful. We've had the hardwoods refinished, and we're putting carpet back in two bedrooms. Quick description: 1935, bungalo-style, 3-bedroom, 2-bath with enclosed front and back porches, partially finished basement, fenced backyard, 2-car garage, and full attic. It's perfect. The house is everything we wanted. The yard is manageable. The neighbors are both friendly and watchful. We love everything about the neighborhood. It's a block and a half to the oldest and probably the largest park in Indianapolis.

Never before a fan of yardwork, I have my first vegetable garden and harvested my first two zucchinis this week. I should have 2 more by the weekend, and my tomatoes and basil are doing well, too. We're having whole wheat pasta with fresh zucchini and homemade pesto for dinner tonight. I'm planning to make zucchini bread this weekend. I love eating things I've grown. Next year I've got plans for a more extensive garden that incorporates peas, green beans, potatoes, and soybeans, too. #
