Earlier this spring we were under contract to buy our first home. It had a sun porch, a pool and a garden, and I was over the moon about having our own little place to settle in. As I'm sure many have experienced, life doesn't always go as planned. Things with Dave's flying career became uncertain and we had to back out of our home purchase. I was crushed, but I know that there is a wonderful house and stable job situation in our future if we continue to pray and be patient.
One of my biggest disappointments was that I had already figured out what I wanted to grow in the garden and I was sad to have to put those plans on hold. Our townhouse doesn't get sun in the back yard and the front is governed by a homeowners association so I didn't think I'd be able to plant anything.
But my creative and thoughtful husband was not oblivious to my gardening dream. He surprised me with a trip to pick out some plants and he plans to build me a garden on wheels! We are going to purchase a little wagon so that during the day we can wheel the plants out front for sun and then take them to the back yard at night.
Here is our first little garden- cherry tomatoes, peppers, basil, dill and mint! Check back in for updates :)
Ps. It's Memorial Day Weekend, make sure to pause from your BBQs and fun plans to remember the men and women who have lost their lives defending our country, and their families who continue in without them. 🇺🇸
