A Porch Garden

 Living in the city is nothing like the country. This has been a little bit of an adjustment I have had to make especially with some of the things that I liked to do with more land. One of these things is gardening. You can't do to much with a back porch but this season I am determined to make the most of it. Last weekend I went to an herb festival, and picked up a few plants.  When I was on the farm I would plant the seeds myself. But because of the good deals I found, I couldn't help but buy a few starts. These are what I found.

                                                                                Mint

Rosemary

Basil

Garlic Chives

Echinacea

And this is another picture of Basil, I just liked this one too!!

And Lord willing my little starts will turn into vibrant fruit barring herbs that bring seasonings to my cooking!! :) I also plan to either get more seeds or plants to fill up the porch with more flowers or herbs, and maybe a few vegetables.

Psalm 89: 1- 18

"I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. For I said, "Stead fast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness." You have said , " I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: 'I will establish you offspring forever, and build a throne  for all generations." Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord, a God to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? O Lord God of hosts who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon, joyously praise you name. You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted . For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy one of Israel."

When I was reading this, this morning in the warmth of the sun light on my face, I was humbled by the words of the Psalm. It is astonishing to stop for just a moment and look at our world and all of Gods creation. We see the Mountains high and the sea below, the sky and the land. We can only be amazed at His handy work. But at the same time be humbled at the fact that God creator of all, knows me, one person out of all history, and knew me before I was ever formed in the womb. What am I to do, but to only "sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations." I pray that I will "walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day"

Esty Store

Well if you have seen on my other blog, A Couple of Crafty Gals. I have started an esty store!! I have been wanting to start on for quite some time, but  I just never did it.  Until now!! What I have in my store at the moment are some Binky holders I have knitted. I started these last fall, to sell at the Christmas Bazaars, but I never finished them in time. So after a while of the unfinished project sitting in my craft bin, I finally decided to put them in my store. Here are some of the projects in my store.

As you can see I have made the two Binky holders, the elephant and the flower in different colors. And this is hat I plan to do for a while, make them in a variety of colors!! Check out what I have in store on the right side of my blog!!

Well that is all that I have been up to besides working. But it seems summer is coming soon!! With my schedule getting busier, and more Church gatherings being planned :)
