Seeds



I sing a little song with my Sunday School girls....

In the middle of a seed
buried deep so deep
a real little plant
lay fast asleep.


I tell the girls inside those little bitty seeds may be a beautiful zinnia,
or a radish,
or cilantro,
or a huge sunflower.
How neat is it to have a little black seed that looks like a speck of dirt
turn into moss rose,
or larkspur? 

I love seeds.  I collect them and save them from year to year.
I bring seeds home from New Jersey.....Colorado......Kansas.

People send me seeds, too.
Seeds from a friend's gardens make sweeter flowers.



Tonight when I mowed the back yard,
I left some little patches of henbit to grow
so they could go to seed.
All I want in the back yard is henbit and grass.  
Maybe some clover for Donut.

I've never ordered seeds from a catalog.
I've never needed to.
Because of our mild winters, most of my plants re-seed themselves
and multiply....whether or not I like it.
Take my 4 O'clocks.
REALLY.
Come and take them.
They grow like weeds in my front gardens.
As you see in the top picture, I have LOTS of seeds for this coming season.
I think I will put them in the back yard and they can go to town
 and not be in competition with anything,
 but the fence. They are the worst possible color in my book.

UGH

Do *you* order seeds?

I'm looking forward to planting seeds you sent me. I know right where they are. I need to put a reminder in my date book so I don't forget. It's a long time till spring!

Once I led a kid's musical with a song that said, "Only God can count the apples in a single seed; only He knows just how many there will be. All my possibilities are a sight He sees when He looks inside of me" (or something like that).

I have ordered bulbs. Does that count?

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
