Sow and You Shall Reap

Last Feb. my friend Kathy and I took a gardening class from Dr. Wells. He used alot of technical terms, but I learned alot. Some of the things that I usually planted in May he said it was better to plant them in March. For example: lettuce, beets, cabbage, carrots, onions, & broccoli. Wow, what a difference! They are growing so well, along with my peas and radishes. The great thing about it is that I only watered them once. All the rain that Mother Nature provided did the trick. Then once the sun started shining they just seemed to burst. These pictures are from two weeks ago and everything is much larger now. Thank God for good earth, rain and sunshine! We are enjoying delicious radishes now and can't wait to reap futhur rewards.

Kodak Moments

I just had to take a minute this morning to thank God for Kodak moments. As I was picking up the house (didn't know I was that strong did you?), ha ha. I went into the computer room to put something on Shultz's desk. I glanced over at the computer just as a picture of Taylor in the poppies popped up. Shultz has it set up that when you're not using the computer pictures flash on the screen. Sometimes it's just one big one and sometimes it's two or three smaller ones. I sat down in his chair and watched for a few minutes. Suddenly I was taken back as memories started to flood my heart. Here is a bit of what I saw. Jordy in her Easter bonnet made from colored napkins, Kade playing baseball at around age 8, Kylee looking at Paityn as a baby lying in the hammock. The boys posing with Minnie in Disneyland, Thanksgiving dinner in Monicas garage (that was an oldie). Some of the pictures made me L.O.L. while others brought a tear to my eye. Here's a few of those: Family posing at Grandma Olsons funeral, a picture of the inside of Great Grandparents house in Idaho last time Shultz and I were there, Kylee and Dustin kissing in front of the temple, and last of all a picture of my brothers and sisters (Dennis included) in our backyard. It made me realize how quickly time has flown by and how special everyone of those moments were. So thank you God and Kodak .
