God's Gift of Life



For the second year in a row, God has gifted me with growth and life for Valentine's day. On Friday, I received my order from Baker Creek Seeds. It's so exciting to me, after last years struggles with all the pink GMO seeds.


(You can see another little plant in the very back of the row. Also... this has been two days ago I wrote this... they have since TRIPLED in size, nearly every cucumber is up, and I have one little onion poking out of the soil. I'm afraid they're growing TOO fast. I'll have to transplant soon, and if it doesn't warm up I don't know what I'll do with them, any advise? )





Of course the moment I could I put them in the soil. Dad had "Built" me a little hothouse in one of his cabinets, and bought one of those little plastic "Greenhouses" (sadly this one leaks, but it still keeps my seeds warm which is all that matters to me.) I planted everything that needed to be started beforehand, Tomatoes, onions, broccoli, ect. Well, I also decided to go ahead and start my cucumbers. We had a lot of trouble with them last year, and even then we'd bought plants.



To my surprise, I went to the cupboard today to plant the last three "Rows" and what do you think? I had two little cucumbers peeping up out of the soil! I was expecting them to take at least a week, but no, three days!





Thank you God, for my wonderful Valentine's gift! Here's to two years in a row!

The Best of Lovers!










Well... I missed Valentines... Which is sad seeing as it's my Holiday...








But I wanted to say, I had the best of days! Instead of feeling lonely and wallowing in my singleness, as I was cleaning the yard, I found that God had left me a gift!








FLOWERS!








They haven't bloomed yet, but what a day to discover them!








Who knows better how to love than Christ Himself?








Needless to say, I wasn't sad or lonely any longer!






Happy Valentine's All,
I hope spring is jumping fast on your heels as it is here!

~Love Meggie
