Tilling the soil

I have come to realize that it is no good to weed out flower beds unless you intend to replace them with something more savory. So Thad and I have done just that. After much purging of the old, Thad picked out some lovely Marigolds to fill the space.

Making a "track" in the soil for the seeds.

Dropping them in.



Lined up...



Getting some water (this is one of those new independent things...)



OOPS! The consequence of independence.




Grow flowers grow!


How cool to be able to include my son in this labor of love!

Lord I pray that you will begin to teach Thad now to allow you to invade his heart and till the soil. May he long to serve you all of his days.
