We have been spending incredible amounts of time in the garden this week.  And don't laugh, but we are even still planting a few things in hopes that they will come up and still yet have time to bear "fruit".  This year our garden is planted completely with Heirloom/open pollinated seeds that I hope to pass down to my children and grandchildren someday.  I'm planning to make up a fact sheet, notebooking style, for each of the different seeds that I have planted (complete with pictures) that I will laminate and put into a binder.  I want to include all of the information that I can find: planting instructions, specifications, historical information, etc...  Maybe even recipes.  I plan to write it all out by hand for sentimental value.  I hope that someday some future family member will feel the pull of the soil in their hearts and treasure the seeds that I saved.

    The other day I was out in the garden pulling weeds by myself.  Josh normally works with me but he was gone for the night--staying at Stevie's.  Sarah came out to ask me a question and I told her that I've discovered that I am a "social gardener".  She laughed and agreed saying that this was the place where I fill Josh's head with all of those crazy ideas.  How thankful I am that the Lord has allowed me to stay home with my children and fill their heads with all the things the Lord has shown me. 

Not somebody I want in my garden!!!
