Some time ago two renegade plants began sprouting on a small hill next to the church parking lot. As they grew, my office buddy P and I watched them closely and finally determined that they were a type of squash. We thought the preschool teachers had planted them as a science lesson, but that was not the case; the plants may have reached their destination by way of the annual church pumpkin patch. Regardless, they have started producing fat round yellow squash. We harvested the first batch today, and P is going to make a squash casserole tonight and serve it to our colleagues at our staff meeting in the morning. I feel like a pioneer.
