I finally have a minute to upload photos and post...

I've had this category in mind for a bit, but time is limited!

The garden of special blessing to us as it has provided the

family with a point of prayer and work...

As we worked to prepare the ground, protect the perimeter

from unwelcome predators (a large bunny population!), and

sow the beginnings, we began to pray each day, "Lord,

please bless the garden, that it would supply sufficient food

for our (large) household, and enough to share as well!"

He has done just that, as we are swimming in zuchinni,

lemon cucumbers, tomatillos, and enjoying a decent supply of

other tasty veggies and fruits as well.  The tomatoes have slowed

in production, but are growing into a tremendous towering jungle,

getting ready for another boom.  We've grown a few very nice

sized, tasty watermelon!  Our corn production was short,

but tasty, and the cantaloupe are slowly ripening. 

Sunflowers line some of the perimeter, providing an occasional

 treat for the goat and seeds for the kids as well. 

And the Lord has provided us all with work that must be done to

keep it going...sowing, watering, harvesting...He has given a

blessed increase...and He has given me much to meditate upon

as I spend time...so many thoughts, I'm sure there are poems to

be grasped when things slow down, but for now, I am satisfied

to journal my thoughts in this category, as I revel in His loving

kindness, faithfulness, and provision!
