This Tennessee spring is wonderful!  We are generally still kinda of cold or wet-but we have been in the upper 70's and 80's this week and with it being our spring break it is wonderful!

We have been busy getting our garden ready for spring crop.  We are "gardeners in training"  and every year we try our hand at it-sometimes with success and others--well lets just leave it at that!  I would encourage you to try to grow something.  Even if you do not have the space; you can put some soil in some pots and place a tomato plant in it, try another pot and place some lettuce in it and voila! You have a salad in the making :)
There is something about putting your hand in the coolness of the dirt.  Speaking of dirt, I am so pleased with my compost.  It has been great this year-the earth worms are thriving (needed for a good garden I have heard).  Don't throw those peelings from your veggies away or the egg shells--they will rot into the ground and make a wonderful soil.  Just do NOT put meats, fats, dairy, or sugary stuff in it--you will attract some undesirable guest to your yard and a terrible smell.

This something I have had on my heart-so bear with me.  I see so often people "worshiping" mother earth and oh my....DON'T!  Worship Father God the Creator of this beautiful dwelling we are in.  He created all the awesome colors we see and the plants that grow our foods and gives us shelter from the sun and also the water we need to live on.  He is the Spirit of Truth and will guide you into ALL the truth(John 16:13).  Go out and thank Him for His creation today!
