I am an artist. Every spring I start a new work of art that God helps me develope. There is simply nothing more satisfying in my life than watching seeds sprout, and seedlings thrive. When the tomatoe plants start to smell like tomatoes, it is the nearest thing to ecstasy that I know. While I love the flowers, and delight in planting, weeding, and nurturing the veggie garden I really hate harvest time.
Every spring is a new beginning for a gardener.
When the snow melts, a brand new canvas is exposed. One is nearer God s heart in the garden than anywhere else on earth. I know I am an old gardener. Starting in the dead of winter, I begin gardening and get lost in it. It s another world, one that gently merges into my world, bringing me joy, peace and love.
