My almost-brother-in-law (he's really my SIL fiance') came over Sunday after church to till our garden. He increased the size for me and it's nearly double what it had been in previous years. There it is. Fresh dirt, green grass around, our little maple tree that grew up in the middle. You can see our woods out back behind the garden. (the woods have become the children's favorite new place to play. they're finding the magic in creation) The front right corner (that you cannot see) is my little herb garden.
So... as I sit in the house on this windy day with my sore throat and full sinuses ... I dream. Of my hands in the dirt. Rows and rows of tomatoes and peppers, popcorn and sunflowers, cukes and onions, potatoes, carrots, and garlic...mmmmmm. The children chasing the chickens and the dog chasing the children. Sunshine and laughter in the air.
