Joy of Gardening

 Hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.

I have enjoyed gardening even as a little girl,  I remember hoeing up any little spot I could find and planting some of my mom's seeds. 

A garden truly does feed not only the body but, also the soul.  

 Working in the garden (even weeding) is so relaxing, it melts away the cares of the day!

Soon will be enjoying the fruits of all the work...

I even enjoy the stray plants that pop up in a garden...

This sunflower plant will definitely be shading some of my plants, but I just didn't have the heart to pull it out :0)

Now I just have to figure out how to control the oats that are sprouting nicely in the straw that I used to mulch some of the garden this year.  

There is always something to figure out in a garden!!

A list of what is planted in my garden...

Lettuce (two kinds) cabbage (early & late) kale, spinach, broccoli, onions, beans (green & purple) peas, peppers, tomatoes (four varieties)  basil, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, zinnias, and a sunflower...

Cultivate the garden of your heart by seeking God.

A Sweet Companion

A dear friend gifted me with a golden retrieve.

The Lord has provided for my every need these past months, even in ways I never would have dreamed of.  I am so happy to have a dog again. She is so friendly, but I also know she will be a protector if needed.  She is so lovable and such a comfort. 

I have been so blessed!
