And so yesterday began with strong, hot coffee, a quiet morning devotion, a later breakfast and another foray into God’s Bounty.  The fence that Donna and I struggled to put up last year was leaning in (most) places and Gene helped us strengthen it (well, he actually did the work and Donna and I handed him tools).  It’s amazing what well-placed wood screws and braces and a little brawn do.  The wind was fierce today and prevented any other kind of outside work so the rest of the morning was spent poring over catalogs and making what we sisterfriends are most famous for….endless lists! Our lists are a thing of beauty…..seeds that we saved from last year, seeds that we bought but didn’t plant, seeds that we want to buy, places we want to buy the seeds, plants we want to buy.  We can fill page after page with our lists and plans.  Our garden journal filled with those lists is a ‘someday dream’ at the moment that will eventually, in the months to come, turn into a very sweet blessing. 

PS.....we planted 2 varieties of potatoes today.

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11 NIV
