Yardening

Among other things going on over the weekend, we did some yardwork and preparations for this year's garden. Rototilling the plots for our raised bed gardens is always a chore, but a rewarding one when the job is done and the soil is nicely blended, ready for the next step. Can't wait to get our sproutlets planted! Mikki has been sprouting our seeds for a few weeks now, and they're looking really great! Corn, sugar snap peas, wax beans, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce mix are among the choices for this year's crop. Yummy!

Oddly, this morning I opened my Bible and it just so happened to fall upon this passage which I thought was pretty timely for today's post:

Malachi 3: 11

"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field. Say the Lord of hosts..." And what is this picture below, you may ask? Why that's just the 300 or so foot water show we got to see from our local bridge on Sunday night! The picture details, of course, are not clear. Apparently a drunk driver hit a fire hydrant. We didn't get to hear any more details about the accident than that, but were impressed with the amount of water pressure that comes out of those things. (The tree beside the gusher is a really big tree in person.)
