Fall Lavender

I had dreams of a prolific lavender hedge winding its way around our patio---when we happened to brush against it, wafts of sweet scented lavender would assail us. Being conservative, I thought it best to try out some lavender in this spot before investing in 20 seedlings. I carefully and protectively planted 3 at the end of April. I watered, I fertilized, I limed, I cajoled--no lavender in May... June...July...August. Finally,in September my dreams were realized. And it continues through October.

Welcome

In some people's opinion we've come down in the world---the neighborhood is not as “nice” or as manicured, the people are different, it's in the wrong school district---But God has shown us what He esteems is not what the world esteems. There is more joy here, more life, more beauty, and more real people. We will build our lives here. The tangible evidence will be our garden, built on the banks of the creek with the herons and egrets looking on. Welcome to our adventure.
