On this cold, rainy day...

Last night, right before I crawled in bed, I made

myself a little list of things to do today. Things are

gradually being crossed off and it is such a good

feeling. Laundry (check) Read (check) Crochet

(check) while listening to Ecclesiastes sermon by

Driscoll (check) Start garden plan (check)...

This year will be my second attempt at gardening. I learned a lot

from mistakes I made last year... and I know that it will take time,

probably years, to become a true gardner. But I like trying and love

the idea of growing some of our own, fresh from the garden food.

This year I am striving to have an abundance of beautiful tomatoes,

cucumbers, arugula, snow peas, zuchinni, cilantro, basil, and lots 

of pretty flowers. A girl can dream, right? I spent some time flipping

through the seed catalog and taking note of the seeds I harvested

from last years garden. I'm like a child looking through a Christmas

catalog. I "want" everything. Haha. But I am determined to keep

things simple and to focus on just a few basic items. And as my

gardening skills grow (Lord willing), so will the variety of my garden.
