Another hard days work in the garden. Lol You can’t even tell! (Well. Unless you know where to look 😉)

I picked up this street sign from a guy on marketplace 6 or 7 years ago. Steve jammed it up in the front maple where it lived for several years. I always wanted to move it to this spot where two odd cast iron poles have always stuck out of the ground. (I’m guessing the previous owner had some interesting art or junk there. Poked me in the ass more than once over the years). Anyway, finally moved it today. It’s wired up pretty janky, we’ll see how long it lasts. Tomorrow I’ll run to the bank and get cash for the truck wash. 🧽 That’s my real life folks!

I fixed myself a cocktail and I’m sitting out in my yard, surveying my domain, appreciating my hard work, even though it’s far from presentable. Oh how Steve and I loved to sit out here and thank each and congratulate each other on a job well done and dream about our future! 🌅 It’s a happy memory. But I’m not there yet. Not quite ready for a dream of my own. 🥹

For now it’s enough that God woke me up once again. Gave me another opportunity. Somehow got my fat ass motivated and outside again! What’s the lesson for me in all of this?, I ask Him. I can’t dream about my future. Yet. So Jesus! Take the wheel! 🙏 ❤️‍🩹✨🌸

A second rainy day in the garden and, honestly, I’m okay with that. 🌧️ There’s nothing better for newly planted babies! And my body isn’t going to complain about the rest either. (Although I am catching up on housework with all day auto racing in the background. 🏁 God speed, Kyle Busch 😢)

The herbs I bought last weekend are finally in. The potatoes are doing well as are the strawberries. Still plenty of space! I haven’t gotten any flower or gourd seeds in yet. Just focusing on keeping it fun and easy. 🫐 🌻 🎃

I also picked up this book at Hobby Lobby. Gorgeous! Beautiful illustrations and daily devotions from the garden to take it all one at a time. 🙏

A Blessed Sunday to you from The Stone House on Mill ✨ 🏡

I enjoyed putting together this little tree on the upstairs landing for my cross stitch and embroidery ornaments this year. Some are mine (the Santas are new), some were finds (like the needlepoint tree skirt). The Peace Tree was done by my Grandma Ruth in 1978. I’m so glad she labeled it. There’s nothing sweeter to me than hand me down handiwork. 🪡 🧵 🎅
