What I heard in the Garden

Gardens will tell stories. Good stories. Stories good enough for the NY Times bestseller list.
Stories that are inspirational and full of meaningful wisdom.

One story I heard this Spring from my garden is of perseverance. No doubt there are setbacks
and gardening is not as simple as "sow and reap".  Just try and try again. If the crows eat all
the corn seed planted, well, just replant and put up a scarecrow.

The First Lady Michelle Obama is listening to her White House Garden and retelling those stories to the nation. She has published three books about her adventure in gardening and she is helping to change our nations eating habits.

If your lucky enough to spend time in a garden, the plants will call you to notice them, to slowdown,
to get in touch with the rhythm of Life (there is no such thing as a fast-food garden)

                                                        Rise up O' plants of God                                                         
                                                        Ye creations of the Lord
                                                        Bring forth your royal fruit
                                                        and we'll give praise and thanks


Don't pay no attention to people who say tending gardens is "too much work".
Gardening is not drudgery and good gardening is not hard work. It is called respect.
I am truly thank-ful for the ability to garden and am blessed with her abundance.
