Grandpa's Gardening Tips

Wow what a wonderful weekend! Saturday I had a very fun Stamp-a-Stack... all the gals were busy as bees working away on all the cards and projects! And to my delight, David and Brayden dropped in for awhile to drop some things off for Jerry... so I got to show off Brayden to the gals ... but most of the time Brayden spent outside and in the garden with Grandpa while I was inside with the girls stamping the day away...

I'd catch a glimpse of them out in the yard...  I so love watching Brayden with Jerry.... and Jerry with Brayden... bridging the generations for sure.The wisdom of one and the innocence of another... God certainly knows what he's doing planting seeds in the hearts of families...

Speaking of planting seeds.... that's exactly what Jerry did... teaching him how to plant a garden, water it and watch it grow....

So his lesson begins, first to start with energy and vitality..

so that calls for some lunch first...

Then they start to dig in and plow up the soil with a little shovel and muscle... ready to plant the seeds...  well in this case a little tomato bush to start with...

 

 

 

Water and Watch... not only is vital to the plant, but to the planter too... having fun along the way and being patient for the result...

Take time to sit back and think about the accomplishments.....

Be sure to share your experience with those you love...

Brayden comes in to cool off and tell Grandma all about it...

Then comes the reward....
a feeling of accomplishment and refreshment to the soul
(and taste buds)...

Brayden first gave all the gals at SAS a chocolate fudge bar,
before he sat and enjoyed his own....

God gives us the soil to cultivate; like our own hearts...

the seeds to grow; like our own life...

and fruit as a result; like our family and friends...

Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
