Garden of Eden

I have to say-- I absolutely LOVE gardening. When I first got married, my husband used to say I was a "plant murderer". How awful, right? Well it was true-- I had a 'black' thumb. Then lo and behold, we bought our first house (my home now) and I became truly ADDICTED to gardening. Roses, hydrangeas, and sod oh my! I could go to the Greenthumb (a nursery) and just walk around all day. I would tell the lil' ones that we were going on a 'field trip' to the nursery because they were tired of going. At one time, I kept buying flowers for my front yard even though I had no room to put anything. The way I fixed that was I went out into the backyard one morning in my pajamas and, yes slippers, and began digging. My husband asked me what I was doing, so I told him I needed a new place to garden. That was the beginning of making my backyard into a park and garden. My ideas, honey's labor. Thank you Sweetie! It is amazing how something ugly can become so beautiful. Isn't that what we all love to see? Sometimes I think we love gardens so much because of the Garden of Eden. Something that God established and created. He MUST love flowers, gardens and colors. Otherwise he would not of created the flowers we love so much. Smell the roses today. Enjoy what you have.
