My green thumb

I badly wanted to grow my own things.  I see my sister Lori with her squash and my sister in law with all her lovley herbs.  I finally took the first step and have been continually watering my seeds which now are sprouting.  I am so proud of myself for being dedicated. 

I even convinced my friend to do it along with me. But unfortunately we can't win every battle...hers died.  But mine are flourishing!  Here are Basil, Dill, Cilantro, and Parsely.  I have yet to see the oregano...but i keep hoping it'll come 'round.

I was using our eggs from easter to make a yummy egg sandwich when it occured to me
"Hey! I'll use some of my Dill." So M and I ran out and picked some and mixed it right in.Yum!

Its so fun and rewarding.  I will update on my other green thumb projects when time permits.  My Tomatoes!

Water

About two weeks ago Emmery was given a plant from nursery. I asked how often I should water it and the lady had no idea. Can't recall what kind of plant she said it to be. But I found myself starring at that plant as I washed my hands at the kitchen sink daily. And thought ya know I probably should water that pile of dirt and see what sprouts. Only one way to find out what kind it is right? So everyday since I have grabbed that pot and poured a little city water into it. For the first time, yesterday, I went to grab the pot and noticed something peeking! Sure enough it was the tiny plant under the dirt. Just a little green and white stub. I was so delighted that I watered it again until it felt damp.

Today was fun...I was going about my doings and looked over at the pot while washing my hands and thought "oh, i should water that". As I am dripping water from the tap I noticed it looked taller today. It grew at least a centimeter! And sure enough it grew some leaves too! Yay! I am so happy for that little plant.

I can't help but relate it to the scriptures. I mean c'mon...if you read your scriptures everyday sure enough something sprouts inside of you or grows a little more every time you "water" it. And it makes you feel all good and nourished inside doesn't it? I have to ask myself...

" Did you water today?"
