The fruits of our labors.













Well fall is quickly approaching and if you know me at all, you know fall is my FAVORITE time of year.

There are a lot of reasons for this, the temperature the changing of the leaves, Halloween ect.

One thing that means the most though is our garden! So much time and effort goes into planting, weeding and tending the garden, it almost takes on a life of it's own. It almost becomes one of your children. For those who never garden, that concept may never make any sense, but to me it is all too true! The worry and care you put into a garden is much like that of your children. Hoping that by taking the time you do, things will work out for the best! I feel that they are so similar that I even pray for our garden, mostly giving thanks for the blessings of being able to tend and watch it grow.

Now, the fun begins :) The fruit of our labors are starting to come about. Everything did really well this year, the melons have had a bit of a struggle and are a little behind, but they will make it. They will just be a little late. (again, like my children) What joy and peace I get from having a garden! I am grateful for being able to live in a place both big enough to have one and with good enough soil and the likes that it grows well here. Hope you enjoy, and when it is ready I will share pictures of what yummy things we glean from having our garden. I hope you enjoy, I know I do :)
