Life has been a little quiet here in the Heartland - the gardens are really slow right now. We still have not had a really good rain in weeks - so Tom waters everyday. One thing good - with the lack of rain - the weeds are not as much of a problem now - hey got to look at the bright side - lol. We did another large order from Lowes so that we can work on some more garden borders, walkways and mulching when temps cool. Tom did get 3 raised veggie garden beds built and we got dirt in one of them and I planted mesculan and beets - they are already sprouted :) - so the first of the fall gardens are growing.

As I type this I am reminded how wonderful my life is right now - so very thankful that Tom and I have these beautiful gardens to play around in - a dry roof over our heads, two wonderful kids, grandsons and a granddaughter on the way. Our hearts are so heavy for those in Lousiana, Mississippi and Alabama - so much sadness - so much loss. Makes you stop and just really say "thank you God for the small things in life" Even if you read this weeks later - stop and say a prayer for our neighbors to the south - they will still need it for months and months to come.

Until the next time - may your life be full of sunshine
