a visit from My Mom....

Mom was here for two weeks, it was such a wonderful visit. We worked on the garden majority of the time, it was so much fun. I am so proud of how much we accomplished. We really just started preparing gardens. Eric also helped alot and Ashley, one of our teens, stopped by one of the days and helped for a few hours. God blessed our efforts with the most beautiful weather. It was almost 70 and I got such a burn. It felt wonderful to be out in the heat. In the front we created two garden on the front side of our deck, we planted a rose bush on each side and lined it with old bricks that I found in the ally and back yard. It is still too early to plant perennials and other plants because of the fact it could snow until the end of May. In the back yard we prepared and garden against the back of the house and transplanted a bunch of Poppies and left room for other shade loving plants. In the other garden in the back we prepared it for a veggie garden. I was so eager to plant the seeds that I bought a inside hot box and planted all types of veggies and sunflowers. After two days they were already sprouting. It feels so nice to encourage life, and to watch how God can make things grow. Mom left yesterday and got home safely but I still have one garden to prepare in the front by our picture window where I will plant a rasberry bush along with other things. 

I am so thankful she got to visit, it is always so great to get to spend time with her. I love her so and Praise God for her.
