The waiting game

I was prepared to have my garden in by may, but with all the rain, it was to hard to plant in dirt clods. My husband tilled and tilled..... finally, by early July I was waiting no longer and planted.

Not to bad for a late start!

Still waiting though.
I love living out here. Sometimes I feel like little house on the prairie

.
Laura is that you?

Oh Charles! I think your tractors sexy!
Thankfully though I don't have to walk for miles to get fresh berries. Thorny little boogers these were, but delicious.

And the kids always seem to find something they enjoy.

As I wait for the harvest of my garden, I can enjoy every little thing my eyes can see, and appreciate what's been given to me now. Not looking far ahead, but living right now, right here.

I am blessed to have so many people share there garden treats with me, it's my privilege to share this with you.
