WOW!



I can't believe it's been since may since I last blogged I know what a looser, don't answer that.
Does anybody know how old I am gonna be in a few days, the only person that will be right is Sister Smith and a couple other people I will let you know when somebody get's it right.
On to other things have I told you all about our garden we planted? well let me tell you all about it, It's going great I can't believe it I will post them here shortly I am so proud let me tell you, we have already eaten fresh spinach I put that in my fruit smoothies I make for me and Gerald it is so good. It is so great to eat out of a garden of fresh fruit and vegetables God has truly blessed it.
We started planting a garden last year just to see if it does good and it did, so we decided to do it again this year, but we did the whole back yard, It's amazing how when you plant something and then you wait expectantly for things to sprout up, we share with our neighbors, we want to be a witness for Christ and this is one way that we can do it, God Blesses our garden so we can Bless other people with His fruits.
Hannah is going to be 14 on Monday, Wow! time does sure fly, she sure is a wonderful daughter I coudn't ask for a better girl, God has sure blessed us I could go on and on I know, I just am so thankful to God for all He has done for us, times sure gets tough sometimes, but nothing compares to what God has done for us on The Cross to Save our Souls..
Well I am going to try and upload the pictures of our garden let me know what you think..

WOW! is right!!! The garden looks FABULOUS!!! You're being such good stewards! I'd be way too ashamed to take a picture of our garden. The corn is barely taller than the weeds! Really! It's nasty. We harvested some beans and some huge cucumbers, but that's about it. It was a total flop this year. Maybe we'll do better next year. At least I've convinced my husband it IS important to compost and fertilize. He's seen what happens when you don't. You grow weeds and not much else.
As for your age, I'll just say . . . you will qualify to be a member of AARP and get those nifty discounts. :-) Now, what does nifty rhyme with?

Whoa--I can't believe you're THAT OLD!!! ;-) I really was going to guess forty-five. Happy Birthday!

How cool that your garden is doing so great! I don't know personally (!), but I can imagine that it just feels sooooo good to eat and share the food that you worked to grow all by yourself. :-)
