Our Garden
We'd thought and dreamed of a garden for a long time. We'd had a big one when I was a child, but it had been quite a few years. This year, thanks to Drew's gift of a tiller and grey water system, we planted a garden.
I loved planning it,
planting it, 
watching it grow
... and eating its fruits!
... and eating its fruits! 
God blessed us with the perfect amount to share and to eat... with just a little left over to make some pickles with. :) I loved eating fresh tomatoes several times a day. I loved going out to pick a bowl of produce for dinner.
What a miracle that we can plow the ground, and plant a seed (or a plant), and water... and God gives us food.Ceiling fans
Cool breezes are lovely in the summer. Especially here. 'Nuff said. :)
With thanks to Jon!
Summer reading
My mother made me a comfy little reading spot this summer... with a little rocker and floral flannel covered pillow and a sturdy footstool...beside a table lamp nicely situated... under a ceiling fan... in a room with a nice cool air conditioning unit... and the gift of time to read into the wee hours. God sent the kitten who purred on my shoulder while I read. :)
He also blessed me books that engaged my mind and encouraged my heart... and fit together in unexpected ways.
Georgie!
The end of summer found him still small, but growing...
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

What a happy post! Your kitty looks a bit like Oliver.
I'm envious of your garden - you all did a wonderful job. Yum yum! You're right, it's miraculous - we take it for granted at the grocery, but when it grows in your yard, it's AMAZING!
