Mom and My Garden

Just wanted to share with you a couple of pictures.  Last weekend I finally got to work in the garden.  The weather was beautiful so I brought mom out to the garden and gave her a comfy chair and it was a wonderful day. 

We sat and talked about Grandmother and the wonderful gardens that the three of us planted.  She might be forgetting a lot of things but she remember how to plant a garden. 

There is tomato plants to the left of the picture.. and pepper plant at the top of the picture.   I have patio tomatoes in barrel to the left along with some sweet basil.   
the barresl to the left have mint and sweet banana peppers growing..  
I need to take a close up of the old plow in the middle sitting in front of a Texas Lilac........  I will do that when the lilac blooms.  

 Remember this?  I said I wanted to plant a Hosta garden.  Well I did along with a few other things...

An old school bench that has had many different homes here in my yard but I think it has found where it needs to be.  I put down some flat rocks and between the rocks planted some ground cover. Of course the duck and her babies had to sit in the shade.

 Where are the hostas you ask, well they are on the back side of the tree and I have many more to plant around the left hand side of the bench next to the fence.  I think it turned out kinda cute..........  don't ya? 

 Mom laughed and talked and wanted to know why I did not plant okra? so this coming Saturday we are headed back out there to plant some okra and some onions.  




Sunday we planted her flower boxes on her porch.  I will take some pictures... 

These days are a beautiful reminder of why I have my mom and dad out here.  Some days I think that it is me doing something for them but then the Father God gentles reminds me that they are doing something for me.  

What a precious gift the Father God has given me…….  I must remember that on the hard days………
