will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, home happier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."


3rd Nephi 17:21-23 "And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them. And when he had done this he wept again; And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them; Behold your little ones.."
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are. ~Author Unknown

Fruits of our garden



Okay...so this may be kind of corny...but YUMMMM!! Our little garden is a bit sad looking, but hey we (more like Rhett) tried! However...Our tomatoes are so good and as Jentrie put it..."OH these are so much better than the ones from the store!!" Rhett said Sunday after picking a few ears of corn for dinner that he was totally humbled by our neighbors garden..it is so pretty. It is immaculate! I really makes ours look sad - more like a giant weed patch..next year!! Our squash is a bit sad..we only have 1 plant that the garden gofer didn't eat (it also ate the cucumbers - but our neighbors cucumbers are so yummy...oh, it also ate the garlic) so we only get maybe one small squash a week, thank heavens for Bro. & Sister Stewart who have ooodles of summer squash and shares....Soon our tomatoes will be red and I'll be able to make salsa and marina sauce..yea! The potatoes did very well and are also yummy..we just didn't plant enough. The peppers will be ready to pick very soon..We didn't plant corn, however most of our neighbors did and they also share...a few of them grow gardens just because they have wonderful green thumbs and love to plant, but as Bro. Grimshaw said he always plants more than they need :) I just love this time of year...the smell of fresh produce. I can't wait until next month to buy peaches and apples! Yea for late summer and early fall -- harvest time! 'D & C 59:17 ) Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards; 18) Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; 19) Yeah, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and the to enliven the soul...'

Your garden rocks!! It is following the prophets council...which means more then just providing food for ourselves... it will get better every year!!

We have had a small community garden plot..and we have done tomatoes, peppers, squash and pumpkins. I have been bottling peaches from my sisters tree and beans and corn from the local farm that you can pick yourself...total blast. So please forgive my tardiness about saying what a cute blog you have! Keep it up!!!
