Garden and Life Update

I had to spray for Caterpillars(note the holes in the leaves) on my Broccoli and Cauliflower (sorry all your organic people out there...guess I won't be sharing with you). I had to be done or else the grubs would be in the fruit and I would be cleaning them out after the harvest and NO THANKS. Better to just spray and KILL so there would be no more damage. I sprayed last Monday and just sprayed again today. Everything else in the garden is growing great. My carrots have finally taken off... and the second crop I planted is up about a inch and leafing out. The tomatoes are covered in blooms and my corn is growing at fill steam. Corn sure does take alot of fertilizer... Can't wait to start the harvest. Having a garden is so much fun. I'm close to getting my 1st zucchini! Don't you love my hanging baskets. They are huge. If you know me then you will know where I got them... gotta love the family business. Keeps things around here very colorful! They are beginning to need daily water.... which can get a little lame. But well worth the daily sweep of the front porch to look out the window and see these. I picked up this little treasure at a garage sale for a steal... it is an antique cart. I planted it up with some pretties.. and isn't it cute.

We showed our house (yes it is still for sale) yesterday. I showed it to the couple that own the property next to us. He has always liked our house and yesterday brought his wife over to look inside. They loved it. He jokingly said that they would have an offer to us in a few weeks. I've learned not to hold my breathe regarding that statement. We have had numerous people like our house. I have to admit that it does show very well. Picture perfect as put by the last realtor that showed our house. How could it not be on a clear day with a view like this. I'm sure going to miss it when we sell. But I know that God has blessed us with this land and house... how much more could He bless again. That is where trust and faith come into the picture. We are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for our future. The waiting sure is hard.... but we are enjoying everyday that we have here and God has used the time well. We have built wonderful new friendships and deepened some existing bonds. It is an interesting time.. but it is forcing us to wait upon the Lord knowing that HE has a plan to prosper and not to harm... we a learning to live each day as the present. We are also learning not to live in the future because we have done that in the past. And the future will never exist. It will only ever be the present. So striving for that daily has been a challenge.. but so very fulfilling.
