David and Lisa allowed Sydney to monopolize their backyard this spring with a garden–the first he’s had since we left Ithaca. He’s been making use of it. The kids and I have picked and shelled peas, eaten a ton of lettuce, dill, swiss chard, and radishes, and now we’re enjoying a bumper crop of cucumbers. The tomatoes aren’t far behind . . .
