thinkn' bout gardening.....

We have been living out in the country, in this house for 15 1/2 years! Absolutely wonderous!! The first 2-3 years our garden measured 50 feet by 100 feet, which is 5000 square feet. That was even a good size for amateurs. My dad gave Terry lots garden "scoops and how to's." Terry has done an incredible job of learning to garden naturally. The children LOVE helping and diggn' with their dad. Each year it seems our garden gets bigger and bigger. Last year the farmer's market that we participated in locally went really well. So this year the garden is very large!!! It has grown to 24,924 square feet. Our motto is we plant and water as we can but God gives the increase!!!! But right now the funniest thing that is out in our garden is two twin boys houses!! They have literally staked and stringed what their house plans will be like and are getting the "feel" of how big it will be!!! They are totally something! I screamed out the door last night and said,"hey you can just build there!!" It would save them so money and they could eat at our house alot!!! I do no think they were up on my idea. A little tooooo close to parents with a bride. We are so excited for their futures, what the Lord has for them, and are feverently praying that the Lord would bring them their "Rebecca's." And too that He would bring our daughter's their "Issac's!!" I love having older children just as much as the littles, every phase is so great!!!! Oh, back to the garden........Terry is making and drawing out plans for this years garden. I can hardly wait too, the fresh and tender lettuces and the crunchy spinach and the juicy tomatoes amongst the lists of veggies we desire to plant, that is if we can get their houses out of our garden!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!! Are you all making plans yet for yours??

Its Friday and you might know what that means.....HAMBURGERS!! It also means DAVE AND KATE AND MAVIE!!!!! Oh, and Anna's dessert!! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
