Yesterday we were able to enjoy our first full-meal from the fruits of our garden! Even though it was just a simple salad it was really exciting to know that everything we were consuming had come from our garden, not a store! Hey gardening pros, don’t laugh at me, I’m still new to all this!
Really Ryan is the master of the vegetable garden and I take charge of the flowers. I was super excited to come back from our trip to Ohio to discover that my White Obedient Plant had started blooming! I’ve heard that it can be really invasive, but at this point I don’t care because it is one of the only flowers blooming and it’s just so pretty!
We’ve been enjoying the beauty of my blue delphiniums, but we are not the only ones. I spotted this fuzzy little bumblebee enjoying them this morning! (Click on the pictures individually for larger images)
It’s really fun for me to think that this time last year I was miserable working in cubicle, tired of living in a tiny apartment, and dreaming of July 25 when I could shed it all and move to Kentucky. I was looking forward to a new opportunity in full-time ministry, but I was also looking forward to little things like having a porch and enjoying the fruits of a garden. Nearly a year later it is a reality, and I couldn’t be more excited!
