Celebrating the intersection of gardening and nature with home life and worship!
I was pondering the beauty in aging during the month of May. May holds the highest quantity of my family’s birthdays: mother, father, sister, niece. It also marks the homegoing of my father and of course, May also hosts Mother’s Day.
This Mother’s Day was the first one during which my mom was living in our household. . .
Basil is easy enough to grow. But I did everything wrong this year that you could possibly do to basil:
Constantly wet the leaves when watering.
Watered frequently in the evening.
Didn’t pinch it back. At all.
Didn’t manage the pests.
Plus, it was HOT.
A hearty reminder to be content with what we have, embrace our heritage, and be willing to try out new things –
no matter what life is dishing out at the moment!
When we tap into the power of pioneering, we are better able to nuture body, soul, spirit, and our “can-do” attitude! Let’s encourage those around us to go for it as well. God is for us!
In these times of shifting economic, political, and moral sands, we must remember to put our focus on the most important thing.
In my last post, I told you briefly about the farmer ants, who were responsible for destroying my first okra harvest, by aphids. Boy, ants are smart.
But they are not smarter than us. A quick blast of water took care of them, both ants and aphids. But the ants came right back to try to set up their farm operation again.
