Reece: "Where are you going?"
Me: "Out to the garden to pick some food for lunch. Wanna come?"
Reece: "Sure."
One of the most important lessons my little man has learned in his short time on this wonderful earth...
his food comes from the backyard.

Linking up with Barefoot Five for Touch the Earth
That is a wonderful thing to learn!
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm writing up a very similar tale for my Thurs Around the Garden. Knowing the cycle and source of our food is surely the most important of lessons to learn.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read it Lisa. And I totally agree. It makes me so happy to know that Reece will think most of his food comes from the backyard - vegetables, some fruit, eggs, honey and bee pollen. Gotta love it!
DeleteThis is so precious! What a sweet little man and such valuable lessons he is learning.
ReplyDeletelove this, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd from the woods. I always laugh as my kids ask me, "Can I eat that too?" And then they run off to find the nearest edible plants.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes, so true. We have done a lot of eating in the woods this summer.
DeleteThis is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think you live an awesome life :D
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks. I feel pretty lucky to live this life.
Deleteand what an awesome lesson to learn!!!
ReplyDeleteYou bet!
DeleteI love that my girls know this as well. The fact that Sofia knows each vegetable by it's leaves alone make me feel full of pride.
ReplyDeleteI know, it is so amazing how much they learn and take in. Love it!
DeleteMine don't even come in to eat it, :) they think the garden is just a new dining area.
ReplyDeleteWonderful moment in your day Kim, thanks for sharing.
Ah, yes this happens with Reece too! If I can't seem to find him in the yard I check the vegetable garden or the area where the wild raspberries grow...I usually find him picking and eating somewhere :)
DeleteLove the photo! The whole story is right there!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks!
DeleteLove this, Kim!!!! Such an important lesson. :)
