This past weekend we had a wonderful time getting our seeds in the ground for a summer garden. We planted a variety of flowers, marigolds, being one of them, while Daddy read aloud the story of the Marigold from Mary's Flowers. We also planted beans and tomatoes, and zinnias! The girls continue to love reading Zinnia's Garden. One new book that we just read a couple of days ago, before using watercolors to illustrate what was held in our art memory box, was Mortimer's First Garden.
It was a great little book: one that will go on our garden book list! We loved how it talked about patience and how sometimes waiting for some miracles from God ask us to be patient. A good read! Before getting bitten by too many mosquitoes, we managed to get almost all of our seeds planted, bikes ridden on the patio, swings swung in, and moments shared together watching the earthworms churn our soil for a healthy garden to come! Another Sunday to be treasured in our family memory box!
