A Garden Tour After Ten Years: A Labor of Love

It was ten years ago this month that I got serious about landscaping my land. I went to classes, read gardening books, and listened to advice from my mother. I watched "Gardening Naturally", "Gardening by the Yard", and "The Victory Garden." I took pictures today from different gardens bordering the house. Here is a visual tour after ten years, lots of manure, much trial and error, and hours and hours of time spent at this labor of love. "In search of my mother's garden I found my own." Alice Walker

National Day of Prayer

"The National Day of Prayer is a day designated by the United States Congress as a day when all Americans regardless of faith are asked to come together and pray in their own way. It is held on the first Thursday in May. "
I received this plaque with this lovely prayer from my husband right after we were married. It has hung by my desk with the beautiful words and flowers ever since. It is a reminder of the blessings that surround my life.
