Christmas in May

I moved in to the 'mobile home' (I'm told Trailer sounds too white trash) August 2010 so this is my first spring in my new place. It is so fun to see what little beauties are growing up all around. Makes me thankful for all this rain we've had. Welcome May flowers!
My grandmother has a green thumb and her roses are the BEST fragrance I have ever smelled. It's not often I get flowers but wild or home grown roses FAR outlast store bought editions. Take note future husband. And I'll keep in mind that its the thought that counts.
Maybe my interest in things that grow stems from g-ma. Or maybe its natural for God's creation to admire the rest of his creation. I planted a few strawberry seeds 2 weeks ago and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. Today I put some Simpson Elite Lettuce (Burpee brand, teehee. Really? Is that someone's last name?) in the ground. There's just something right about eating something you planted, cared for and watched grow.

Day 1
lovingly placed, miracle grow added, watered


Take a walk with me around my home. I don't know what any of them are but they are more beautiful than Solomon in all his splendor.

Jazzy planted this last summer. I kept it in my house all winter and thought it died. It was so pitiful. Now look at it! So many spiritual lessons to glean from that one.



This one is a violet. That's all I know.



I thought about posting these on facebook but honestly WHO CARES about the plants around my house. I'd bore myself with them. Yet I felt I had to document them somewhere and this is like my secret public soap box.
