Garden Goodness
We’re hoping for lots of yummies out of our garden this year. Michael’s checking it all out with dad. The white in the corner is a row covering that is similar to a dryer sheet in consistency. It’s covering the cabbages and broccoli. It lets the rain, air and sun through. It keeps the bugs out.
I know that our country is under attack from without and from within. I encourage you to pray for our country, for our leaders’ salvation and repentance, and for Christians everywhere.

It’s a beautiful cool cloudy day here. Don’t tell the weather man that it’s June! I’m gazing out the window at lots of green. I’m on the second floor, so I am looking at branches where I can often see birds or squirrels. Down in the yard I can see the weathered white rail fence, the clothesline awaiting a load of clothes. I won’t hang them today though; it might rain.
Two large wooden crates that have been fitted with doors and adapted as temporary night time housing for our dozen chickens. The chickens themselves are hiding somewhere out of my sight. We let them free range in our back yard. They are a great learning experience and just plain fun, too.
We have a large garden back behind the fence. We tasted the first lettuce and a radish last week. I think our sweet peas will be ready by the weekend. I’ve not had that delicious pleasure for years. We may just eat them raw in salads! We’ve also used some of the basil and parsley from the garden. My husband is the gardener. In fact, he went through the master gardener course this year. So, we have the best looking garden ever. I’m just so looking forward to the first fresh juicy tomatoes! Nothing says summer like fresh sliced tomatoes, corn-on-the-cob, and watermelon! May I have that with a glass of icy lemonade please?
Tonka trucks at the back edge of the yard and hubby’s burn pile complete the view. It’s wonderful to have such a large yard in town. The yard is so deep, and there are so many trees, I cannot even see the houses behind us in the summer time. God is good!
The chill in the air tells me it’s not summer yet, though. I’m in no hurry!
Blessings to you!

First comes love; then comes marriage;
then comes Lowell pushing a baby carriage…four times!
Thanks for loving me through the last 23 years of marriage!
Happy Anniversary Honey!

I love this club!
I’ve been swapping books since August of 2006. I’ve participated in 462 transactions now. That means I’ve either sent or received a total of 462 books! No wonder I cannot catch up with my reading!
Here are a few helpful hints I’ve come up with along the way:
1. List every book that you are willing to send out first. If it doesn’t have an isbn number, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of the posting page. Don’t forget textbooks. They go great this time of year. You also can post older vintage books. Just check the posting requirements and read what a “good” condition book is.
2. Next, put every book that you know that you want on your wish list as soon as you think of it, read about it, or hear about it. You can wish for up to 200 books or audio books.
3. Put other books you’re not sure you want but want to remember on your reminder list.
4. Now, start listing all of your other books that you own on your TBR pile list. That’s your To Be Read list. If someone is wishing for one of those books, there will be a big W on the right side. This may help you decide the order that you read your books in. If someone’s wishing and you decide to post the book, the wisher will be contacted immediately. That can be a quick way to pick up some more credits.
5. To help you build your wish and reminder lists, you can look at the wish lists of your buddies and people who request books from you or send books to you.
6. Look at what they have to offer, too. You may find something you like.
7. If you want to receive something from a certain person, request it while you’re on their books listed page.
8. If you want to send a book to a certain person, post it from their wish list page. It will be offered to them first.
I do not participate in the forums. I don’t know what they’re like.
If I can help you in any way, please let me know. Also, let me know what your user name is so that I can take a look at what you have and what you’re wishing for. Who knows, I may have something that I can post for you.
My user name is lauraofharvestlane.
Please just click on the PBS banner above or go see my list of books available here. Don’t forget to tell me your user name so I can look you up on pbs!
May God bless you,
Laura
On My Man’s agenda:
Buy or obtain:
baby chicken feed,
build a birdhouse with the kids at Lowe’s,
boxes,
shoes for just about everyone except the dog and the chicks,
straw bales for the garden,
clothes for him,
pillows,
and groceries.
I’m adding to the list:
yard sales,
coloring eggs with the kids,
resurrection cookies (just didn’t get to it because I was feeling ill),
an old Easter movie with Fred Astaire and Judy Garland. I think it’s Easter Bonnet or something like that. We watched it Sunday. It was Easter Parade.
and maybe a stop for a soda or cappucino!
Have a great Preparation for Resurrection Day!

Hi,
My husband wrote yesterday about The April Cover Up. When I thought about the title, the first thing I thought about was swim suit weather! I think I’d like to remain covered up! How about you?
Just a funny thought.

Tulips celebrate the new life in Spring. These were a gift from Jeremy, my son Matthew's friend.
These chicks are making a fashion statement.
Contrary to what the weather man keeps telling us, we will have Spring! Blessings to you wherever you are and however warm or cold you are.
