Today's reading hits home...

from today's Gospel... Jn 20: 11-18
~snip~
And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.”

uh, the picture to the right here depicts that scene...nice :)

time to harvest

Well, finally...the harvest is coming in...after preparing the soil, planting the seeds and plants, watering (only once~thanks to His rain) weeding and fertilizing...there are a few veggies to pick.

Lauren was excited a few days earlier to tell me that they were ready to pick...

4 onions (there are lots more)

4 hot (red) peppers

12 cherry tomatoes, both red and orange









and there was a viewing of the cone flowers with a large BEE

First 'real' watering today...

It's been so rainy and wet since mid-May, that I have not really watered any part of the veg or flower garden until 8 a.m. this morning...wow...what a great savings on the water bill!! Thank you God for the gift of rain for the last 2-months.

I should really be looking for that rain-barrel to save on the water bill as well.

good quote...

Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God...

a gift of 2-heirloom tomato plants

~we received a gift of 2-heirloom tomato plants from our friends Dave and Eileen...

we gave the plants a good home along side the 23 other t-plants in the veg-garden...and Lauren is giving them a drink.

once the fruit is ready, we will share with D/E of course.
