Gardening

It sounds so refined 'gardening' but it is anything but. It is HARD work. I really have never liked it much, just the results and efforts of others. I truly admire those with beautiful lawns and gardens!!

Today after hitting the gym, I came home with the grand idea of working in the yard. Brian 'hates' it but knows it is a necessary evil chore.

So he tilled up a lovely 'bed' under our bedroom window while I weeded. Then I spread and raked topsoil and planted dahlias and wildflower seeds in our -"it is not a heart"- bed. We will wait and see what grows!!

Gardens are alot like life, full of weeds we have to get rid of, pruning that needs to be done, beauty that changes season to season. Each garden is different and each is full of potential-good and not so!!

I'm impatient, I want those seeds to germinate, grow and produce NOW!! Also I want not weeds to grow but lovely flowers.

The Lord knows the weeds in my life-ugh-so I will continue to weed and prune and sow seeds that will produce lovely acts of kindness, patience and love. Hard work is never in vain, but it is continual that's for sure!!
