Garden

Today I am thankful for two things.... email and gardens...

I am thankful for the intervention of the email and the simplicity it allows us to communicate in.....

My aunt whom I lived with during my high school days has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer, and she emailed  all the family members an update about how she is doing.  Even though she has scene brighter days, I appreciate the fact that she took the time to update us.... and thus allowing us to pray for her specific needs at this time.

 And there is the garden...although simple, it is producing food for us to enjoy.

We planted the garden shortly after arriving to this city, in the desert. Our romaine lettuce is ready to be harvested. Today we had a salad with the lettuce for lunch. The lettuce tastes so much better straight out of the garden then from a store. So good that yesterday I ate the lettuce- PLAIN! No other mixture of fruits and vegetables, or fattening salad dressings... just the good old lettuce.

We can see little tiny tomatoes starting to sprout from our 4 tomatoes bushes.... my husband was ecstatic when he made the discovery of the first little one sprouting.

I have been told that its hard and very tricky to grow a garden here- so I can't help but think that our Eternal Father is having something to do with it. After all, it has survived several deep freezes.
