Garden and God

Bianca and I have been growing herbs and some other plants outside on our porch in attempt to feel as though we have our own garden. Sadly, they did not make it over winter break while we were away :( We came home to some seriously dead herbs. Trying to revive them with a little water and sunshine did little, so we forced to uproot them and go buy new ones. They looked so beautiful all lined up out on our porch so I thought I would share with you all!



We have mint and thyme growing together and then oregano, dill and rosemary in the low terra cotta pots. In the smaller painted ones we are growing bronze arrow lettuce and mesclun salad mix (this is our second attempt) so far we have little sprouts coming up! Bianca's red geranium at the end has been thriving and blooming since we first planted it in Septemeber!

This morning I woke up to find that the beautiful big begonia growing in the yellow pot fell off the ledge and broke from all the wind :( I know, I was so mad at this terrible storm! It is absolutely crazy here, it's been pouring sicne yesterday and we realized we don't have a weather strip under our door as all the water started flooding in the room!! Well, it's not quite flooding yet, but its close! Lindsay wanted to go on a run, we roomies all agreed BAD IDEA and as she went outside to do her laundry she sided with us. She is now lighting all the candles in the house since the lights flickered this morning. With Bianca on the violin and Annalisa on the guitar our home is filled with the sweet sound of worship :) and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. God Bless!
