Yesterday was spent working outside clearing a space for my fall garden. We have finally decided on a spot and I have been working on moving plants and trimming our HUGE Mexican sunflower tree/bush. It will have to stay short in order to give the garden the full sun it needs.
I have spent a lot of time researching what veggies will grow in our climate, and what to grow together and what not to do. I wouldn't say that I have a green thumb really, but I think the key to anything is knowing what you are doing. So I am ready to learn. I have room for 2 large beds, 2 small ones and a few pots here and there. With the help of my great friend Laurie we set out to clear and level the ground take the brush to the garbage and start building up the first of the small beds. I have 2 painful blisters and a bad sun burn to show for my efforts but I am sure that my hands will toughen up and I will NOT forget the sunscreen again. No pictures to show off yet, but soon I hope.
Work is also under way in our garage. Troy and Craig (Laurie's hubby) spent all day and most of
the night working on the electric work and now that they have finished that Monday will be spent putting in the insulation. Oh and our new windows will be put in Monday as well.
God has blessed us greatly and we are so thankful for our earthly home, but look forward to the day when we will move on to Glory and live in the home our Lord and Savior is building for us!
