Tomorrow I am back to work after a 3 week holiday.
I am so privileged to be able to take time off from the routine of work in the city and spend it in the country - watching the sheep grazing in the adjoining paddock, the blue wren flitting back and forth through the water spray in the garden, picking the magnificent blue and white agapanthus for the vases and cooking the apples and plums from the orchard.
My beetroot were small - but cooked up into a delicious relish.
My zucchini are crunchier than the ones I buy and the tomatoes are yummy. I do not get many vegetables but I do appreciate those that grow.
The dog is digging up my pumpkin patch - I am not sure what he is after - ants, rabbits..... but it is not very good for the plants I must confess.
Farming is not my strong point - but I am enjoying trying to grow my own vegies. Any suggestions would be most grateful.
May the world know the Wonder of His Love.
Every blessing to you during 2012.
Sue - Your work is magnificent. Thank you so much for introducing me to it by commenting on my blog. You are able to do what I wish I could do -- write icons properly. As I discuss in my blog, once the arthritis got so bad in my hands that I could no longer work with brushes, I taught myself to draw with a mouse by using the heel of my hand to move it. It was about this time that I discovered icons and begin trying to draw them. Your St. John Vianney is so excellent. Keep up the posting and sharing of your work. Thanks again for making contact. God grant you a blessed Lenten Season.
ReplyDeleteSallie - thank you so much for your comments. It was really wonderful to receive your feedback. I looked at you blog last evening and was thrilled to see you had done the Madonna of China. I was sent the beautiful icon image as a Christmas card. It was the first time I had seen it and thought it was stunning. I was amazed that you had found the same Icon. You are very creative and productive - congratulations. Many blessings for your lenten season. God is Good. May the Lord continue to bless your precious hands.
