April Days

Good morning friends,

 

Gosh; it almost feels like I've forgotten

 how to write.

So bear with me please;

If you pop in and read here now and then; 

then you already know...grace is always needed.

Things have been kinda hectic these days. 

If you're a gardener then you "know" how it is.

Life's been far too busy and at dusk 

when I "have" to come inside, I find myself

 ...wishing: "If only there were just a few more hours in a day."

My to do lists never seem to get

"done."  Especially during Spring planting season.

Overall the gardens  are planted.

Not everything is "up" yet... and so now

we wait.

There's a garden at the potting shed,

a cornpatch garden beyond that,

and another 

up at my Momma's olde homeplace aka the Happy Place.

Throughout it all:

strawberries, beans, cucumbers,

sweet peas, basil, marjoram,cilantro,parsley, leeks,garlic, onions,

cantaloupes, watermelon, a ton of tomatoes, sweet corn,

pumpkin, zucchini, summer squash, sunflowers,

rutabagas, lettuce, turnips, eggplant, -... I'm sure I've forgotten something... 

and flowers..

galore. 

... I thank God

for growing me into a  gardener and

 to have this 

shabby olde potting  shed 

to always 

come home to.

I've been taking lots of pictures-

Photos like these sparrows who became today's

 scripture picture.  I wish you could

"hear" them chirping in real life! They hatched

in the birdhouse that's hanging right on the side of the potting shed.

The snowball bush is in full bloom next to them and these little

guys are one noisy bunch. 

I'll be sharing more in the posts to come.

Thanks for stopping by the shed and

have an awesome day!

xoxo,

Lea
