My Tilled Garden

Ok, so my big plan for the day was to get my garden completely planted. Visions of ripened tomatoes dancing through my head. Northern Minnesota had different plans for me. The day started off beautifully, blue sunny skies, with just a slight bit of wind. I walked down to my garden with my Mastiff and was so excited to see the overturned dirt. My first garden, how very exciting..... Thanks to hubby, it was ready to go.

I decided to walk around my property with my dog, then tackle the project with gusto!! As we walked up the gentle hill to my front yard, the wind really started blowing, I'm talking trees bending, dark clouds moving in. The rain started, and stopped. We decided to head back indoors and wait out the storm. We waited all day.

On my kitchen counter sets my mini greenhouse. Up until this evening nothing had sprouted. Then as I glanced at it in passing, I noticed all my tomato seeds had grown an inch today! Leaves and all! Amazing what a little seed can do in such a short amount of time.

So tomorrow, weather allowing, I will begin the planting process. I guess the weather just wanted me to wait for those little tomato plants to sprout, so I could include them in my planting. Things work out for a reason. I am reminded of that daily.

Be thankful for what you have and grateful for your life and everything around it. The universe will reward you everyday.
