to plant a garden, so that's what we'll do.

Well we don't have a big garden and secretly I am just hoping that something will actually grow. But Matayia and Kaitlyn think this is pretty cool, so far they have been excited about watering our little carrot patch, when they get up in the morning they want to go out and check on the carrots, I had to explain that they take a long time to grow, i think they were expecting to see full grown carrots over night. While we were at the nursery buying plants a little old grandpa convinced Matayia we could grow a watermelon in our back yard, hopefully the summer doesn't end in devastation. We also have planted some peas in pots on our deck, but my fingers are extra crossed on these ones. I don't have a great track record on pots. (Just ask Greg, he ahas lots to say about this)


I came home from Europe with a stronger desire to simplify my life, I know I have a long way to go (I will be returning most of the bags of clothes I bought at the mall yesterday) But planting a garden, though it may be small right now reminds of the simple things in life.
