A Few Benefits

Our 1st cuke of the year!

Our 2nd summer squash... and many more to come!

Fried green tomatoes anyone?

A little baby melon (my first time growing them!)

Lots of green beans already! Looks like a healthy lunch!

Well, I guess there are a few benefits to still having our house in Red Wing....

5 Things I Dig about Jesus...

Well, Jenny decided to tag me....and now it's my turn to list 5 things that I "dig" about Jesus..

1. I dig the fact that He would love a sinner like me.

2. I dig that He wasn't ashamed, afraid, or "too good" to reach out to the untouchable. He touched and healed the people with leprosy, those to whom no one else would even come close.

3. I dig that He was so impressed with the sinner woman who washed His feet with her tears that He used her for an example to the spiritual elite of His time.

4. I dig that although He was the Son of God, He waited until the appointed time to begin His ministry.

5. I dig that He died such a crucial death for me and all of the rest of us....knowing that we would so often disappoint Him...but loving us so much that it didn't even matter.

The list is endless. We serve an amazing God!

Now it's my chance....since there are so many more reasons to "dig" our Lord and Saviour, I will take it upon myself to pass the buck to.......

Drum roll please.....

Ok, only Rob and Kranny.... We're running out of people.

Knee high by the 4th of July!

And they say it's only supposed to be knee high! Ha!

Ad: 2BR,1BA home with a small 1 stall garage. Over-sized (and at times, over-grown) garden in backyard and multiple other areas (including the back of the garage) to have other flower gardens. Don't worry, they're already planted and weeded.

Many hours of hard labor put into each of them. We will throw them in for free if you buy our house! Please call us as soon as possible (I think most of the garden is weed-free, so it's a good time to come and look!). If you wait, there may be weeds again. Oh wait, I wasn't supposed to let you know how much work the garden is. Like I said before, it's already planted and will be ready for harvest shortly after you move in!

After spending 3 hours in the scorching sun one day (frying my neck and shoulders) and then returning out there again today...to weed once again, I'm beginning to wonder if it's really worth it. I thought that you are supposed to reap what you sow. Well....My beautiful garden (that has mulch in it now for convenience purposes) will be reaped by some lucky person who buys our house. It seems like a waste of time right now, but I sure hope that someone else appreciates all of the sweat and toil put into this oversized-garden-for-a-city-lot!
