Just Popping In...

to say "Hello"!

I've been busy in the garden these days.  The heat has just about done in the green beans and cucumbers.  The squash are holding their own, and the okra and eggplant are just "getting growing" good .  I have lovely tomato plants, but sadly it is too hot for them to set fruit.  My herbs are doing well, and I'm having great fun making herb teas and just smelling them!

When it's too hot to garden, I've been attempting to keep cool by hanging out in the room with a/c and reading lots of books!  My office/storage/junk room does not have a/c, and it's not a pleasant place to be once it starts to heat up outside; which is just about the time the sun comes up! 

Once again for our family.....change is in the air!  We're fairly certain that we will be moving again shortly.  Yes, we've been in this house all of 3 months, and will be on the move again probably in another month or two.  I do seriously think we're nomads!  We'll just be moving "down the road", but even just down the road requires packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking!  The good thing, or really I should say the "God thing" in all of this is we're moving next to what our small group plans to turn into a type of Community Garden!  That will be so much fun.  It is just an uncleared lot at the moment, but the guys have big plans!  For those of you who "know" me, a community garden has been my own little dream for years; and the Lord is not only providing that, but with the added benefit of help from some of my dearest friends.  Psalm 37:4 says, Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.  I have to believe that not only did He put that desire in my heart; but He brought it to pass in His timing and by His own means.  God is good!!!

OK, more about our move, gardens, etc. when I have details.  For now, I'm heading to a cooler spot...like out on the front porch for a cup of tea!  The "new" house has central heat and air, oh praise the Lord!

So happy for you concerning your upcoming move! With A/C!!! Woohoo!!! Our last house was a brick house w/the living room that faced west...those bricks would just BAKE in the hot afternoon/evening sun in the summer...with NO A/C. When we moved to this (170+ year old) house, we didn't have A/C for the 1st 2 years. Then, our furnace went out, so we decided to just have the guys put in BOTH the furnace AND the A/C! Ahhh!!

My dh and dd#2 have terrible alergies, so it's LITERALLY been a life-saver for them. My only problem is that it makes me not want to go outside as often. I fight is as much as I can...but w/2 of my family not being able to spend alot of time outside w/me, I do what I can.

Will you be able to have access to your lovely garden after you move? It would be such a shame for you to have worked so hard on it only to have to leave it and miss out of all the bounty.
