My Garden!!

Oh my! I just got my garden in yesterday. My daughter and I worked for about 3 hours working the soil and getting everything ready. Then came the seeds and seedlings to transplant. We were so excited when we were finished. It seemed to go smoothly, too. My awesome hubby went up to the farmstead and got a couple of buckets full (loader buckets) of topsoil and manure. I know...it sounds totally gross, but plants really dig it. It, too, had rained the night before, so the soil was as prime as it was going to be. Nice and fertile and workable. Now, today, it has rained the majority of the day. I couldn't ask for better timing.

The cool thing about gardening is just watching everything sprout. All we do is put the seed in and God totally does the rest. I mean, there is absolutely nothing we can do to MAKE those tiny seeds grow. Sure, we can water and fertilize, but God is the One who actually performs the miracle of growth. So cool!! It was a really neat teaching opportunity as well for my daughter. She, too, has such a tender heart for Jesus.

I know I haven't posted many cards lately, so I thought I'd add this one. It was one I had made a while back, and wanted to get it on the blog. I saw it in a store and wanted to try it. It took for...ever! But it was well worth it when I was finished. I can't tell you how many different stamp sets I actually used...lots, and as usual, many of them were retired. Hope you all like it!

TTFN,
