A New Beginning

I have learned today that the next best thing to actually gardening is being a member of gardenguides.com! I have received encouragement and instruction for my first caterpillar-butterfly experience. I usually do something each day in my yard....plant, weed, or move things around and on Sundays I usually take a stroll around and admire and plan what needs to be done. I am blessed with grandchildren and parents that live nearby that I can share my experiences with daily. It has been much cooler yesterday and today than normal (hi 82 day, night 65). This will probably last through Monday and then HHH....Hot, Humid, Hazy is to quote the weatherman. We do have rain in the forecast for later in the week . We have been blessed to have had rain to help the crops and gardens...and to help on the water bill! Tomorrow I am going with my grandchildren, ages 8 and 5 to a Blueberry Cooking for Kids contest sponsored by our CES at the local mall. My grandaughter is cooking blueberry muffins and my grandson is making blueberry syrup. We have local blueberries for picking and purchasing and they have been so sweet even though the late frost in April caused some to be lost. Each day is truly a gift from God! One of my favorite sayings about life is "Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly, Leave the rest to God! May each of you always have enough!

Maybe your granddaughter could share her BB muffin recipe with us. My sister Pattie always had her children in 4-H and her son was the one that entered the baking contest. Also congratulations on doing the Master Gardener program in your area. I is a worthwhile endeavor. I have met some wonderful hardworking people, many of which have become friends. We travel together and share plants and seeds as well as work with our county agent. Good Luck and have fun. Last edited by yardgranny6 on July 23rd at 10:58 AM. |
