An Abundance of Cucumbers

Yes, I know....

My husband has planted a vegetable garden each spring since the start of this century. What began as a healthy hobby has grown into a psychotic obsession. Of course that's just my opinion; he sees it more as a combination "art project/doing God's work." Don't get me started on the fact that he talks to his vegetables, that would be an entire other blog post. 

Instead I'm here to discuss the fact that whatever vegetable is in season becomes the mainstay of our diet for that period of time. Mitch explains that "God wants us to eat peas" or "God wants us to eat squash," depending. This week, and last, and likely for the next few, it seems that God wants us to eat cucumbers. Personally, I've had it up to here with them after downing more than a few  cucumber sandwiches and too many servings of cucumber salad.

...it's the same picture.

Naturally, any neighbors who happen by when we are working out there get their share of these vegetables as well. Turns out that  people only want just so many cucumbers and no more. Still, there they are in the fridge (see photos).  

Lately there has been some talk of making pickles, and perhaps purchasing some large glass jars.
