Tilling my garden

One of my true pleasures is to plant a veggie and fruit garden. Below is a picture of my garden from few years ago. It was late spring and most of the strawberries were picked already.

Every year I try different things.... that drives my husband crazy sometimes,because I LOVE veggie and i like to try new ways to make it and also to plant some different ones. Mark is not much into vegetables although he eats some . I *try* not to make things like * eggplant casserole surprise* !!!!*grin*... Okay ... some times , I DO! Here I am tilling the garden. I will have to till few more times to make it a real nice and smooth bed. I am anxious to plant the potatoes but the ground is soaking wet .....

I love old fashion tool ** That works** but boy, how I LOVE my modern tractor! It is so powerful and easy to handle!


I had go go over and over few times to break all the weeds root system...





Not a very nice picture of my final tilling job but you can have an idea. I plan to take pictures when the children I am start planting.....soon!*smiles*

Pumpkin blessing....

This picture was meant to be my last one from this post...sigh... it is my Ben, caring for a rabbit that does not belong to us....
My flower garden is in full bloom..... is so beautiful to sit out side and look at it ...grin




Pumpkins.... yes, pumpkins.....in my front door? I known I did not plant any! That is what I said when I first spotted a small pumpkin vine... well.... I think the last year pumpkins that was sitting outside , felt off and self seeded the ground.





I haven't counted how many are there but they are quite few...*grin*


I like to say that it is a blessing because we did not plan and yet it by my door!

Garden and drawings.....

I have been wanting to do a post with some of my garden pictures but some how I miss placed one of my SD card that contain these pictures. It is actually a funny thing. Katy and I had planted some beans , peas, and something else earlier spring ,then we had a frost and decided to plant only green beans on the same spot since it looks like everything was dead. Well, that did not happen like we thought grin.... we have now all kinds of greens and because we can not tell what they are , we pick and cook all the same way...*smiles* - living and learning!

I will be participating to a doll show next month. I am now painting my dolls but I have been very busy preparing everything leaving me no time to blog or to visit those that i so much enjoy. (((Thank you)) for visiting me anyways and for your kindness. I have much desire to share my life with you and all the wonderful things that the Lord bless me daily.

I didn't go to church today as I am recovering from a sinus problem but I picked *beans* , grin, this morning and cut some flowers to bring home. I was thinking how wonderful the Lord is and what a bless it is to see things growing from the earth. With the past events around the world a great sadness came to my heart to and one thought .... any men can have everything in this world but if he does not has Christ in his heart.... he has nothing!
I will bid you adieu with this drawing that I did from a picture of Becca and sugar , our pet goat... Love in Christ.
