finally







it's days like today that i remember that i started this blog as a gardening journal, a way to capture the beauty of God's creation, and to thank Him for it.

i am amazed at how quickly i forget. i swear, i have very little faith. after nearly 10 days of rain and greyness, i was convinced that we would never see the sun again. i was sad. i wanted to curl up on the couch. i did not go outside. at all.

and suddenly, after 48 hours of sun, i am a new and different person. i have a porch full of goodies to plant this week, and i have done some serious sitting and being still.

thank you Lord for not giving up on us, when we so easily do. i am believing for a fantastic week for each of you! if you'd like to sit and be still with me, c'mon over.

OK, how is it that your hanging basket is already full and gorgeous? Mine are full of 2" plants that haven't flowered yet.

What are those pink jobbies in the third pic? Lovely.

It's pouring rain in North Carolina, with no end in sight. Thanks for the pretty pics.
