Passing Times and Passing Seasons

As all who read will probably know by now, I have recently taken up gardening. At the moment I am in the process of cleaning up the back garden and the yard. The yard is a lot less messy than it used to be and there is a relative amount of order going on. The garden is a little harder to sort out, so far I have made the path useable and cut away a large amount of brambles from the end of the garden, the work I do on the garden helps centre me and makes me feel spiritually sound. However we have recently been struck by a lot of bad weather forcing me away from my labour, which is why I was so happy when I cut open an apple today and found a large cluster of seeds, I was even more joyous when after asking my wife if she would like to help me plant them she said yes. Though the seeds currently have a humble beginning being in small pots I hope to one day be able to look at them as trees and say me, my wife, and God did that. I am hoping that tomorrow is nice and clear so I can get back to my work on the bramble, I have plans to cut more of it down and then cut the branches into smaller sections, bind them together and use them as fuel for our fires. Well I think that is all for now.

Thanks for reading,
