What a spang-sparkling day! It is July 3rd, the day before America’s birthday. Melissa and Sarah could hardly wait for every year their family celebrates their country’s birthday by attending the parade and fireworks in their town. They thought that this year was not going to be any different. Little did they know how different it would be!

Sarah and Melissa lived in a small, rural town with their parents, Mark and Kathy. Small towns are known for their patriotism and the town of Bridgetrow was no exception. Melissa and Sarah were enjoying their summer by doing the usual things they do each summer. They swam in the creek that winds through their land, sold lemonade, played with their cats and dogs, and took care of the family garden.

Now, the family garden was like no other and the tending of the garden was a family affair. The size of the garden was humongous and full of a wide variety of herbs and vegetables. In fact, there were a bevy of veggies. There were blushing tomatoes and spudding potatoes, beans lima and green, stalks of celery and bunches of broccoli. There were peppercorn and corn yellow and white as well as amber waves of grain that took flight.
