Yippee! We started on the garden today! Well, we just tilled part of it, but at least we're getting the ball rolling! Here's a picture of me taking a turn at the tiller. (Daddy did the first round, then Leah and I took a turn the second round, and then Daddy finished up.)
We have been planting in this spot for several years, so the soil is rich and fertile. In my new plots (we are going to do some raised beds this year), I'll add my compost from the pile that I started last year. (If you don't compost, I would suggest that you start! It's a great way to get rid of your raw vegetable/fruit scraps, leaves, old dirt, and other stuff, and it doesn't take a complicated science to get some results! Just do some research...you can get as fancy or simple as you want!)
I'm thinking about planting some new things this year and planting more herbs than I normally do. I am going to try planting basil near my tomatoes...I have read that it makes the tomatoes sweeter while repelling certain insects. Sounds good to me!
Oh, before I forget, here are some pictures of the dress I made last night...
Sewing the bias tape on...
Topstiching the bottom piece.
(I am going to get a better view...do you like my curtains?)
The finished product...a cute, spring green, size 2T pillowcase dress!
I am looking forward to posting pictures of our garden progress! The daffodils are blooming here in the Foothills of NC! Spring is right around the corner!
Blessings to you!

So I've come to say, be thankful for the Christians in your life, the ones that hold you up, put a smile on your face, argue sometimes, make mistakes, but love always and give. I am thankful for a Mom that loves me so much that she stays home to teach me the Truth, a Daddy who is an example of what a father, husband and pastor should be, for a sister that loves me even when I fail, for my sweet Clara Fu that reminds me of childlike faith with her humble smile, and for my brother that reminds me of my patience :), for my tall PaPaw Brown's deep voice that makes every worry leave my mind, for my petite MaMaw's red lips that always say something to make me laugh, for my MeMaw's patience, for my PaPaw George's love for music that came to me. I'm thankful for the cardinal I see out my window at this moment, the aroma of meatloaf from downstairs, the sound of little voices, for the books full of knowledge surrounding me, the laptop I'm typing on to tell you this, and the mind I have to send these words through my fingers. I'm thankful.
