Gardening Inside and Out

 

This is what I get to quilt on today: Rainy Garden Windows.

But first things first. I rose before dawn to get a good amount of work accomplished in the garden before the sun got too strong. I was reminded of Grandmother’s Rule that my dear friend Janice used to quote to her little students who wanted to do a fun activity instead of wrestling with the details of learning to read. The rule was: Spinach before ice cream.

In my case it was kale.

And a beautiful crop of mustard greens.

The spinach part was turning over the compost in my raised beds in preparation for planting my seedlings.

Even though it is hard work, I kept on smiling. God is good, and my quilt is waiting.
