The Garden Store

The local nursery in town had a trivia contest and guess who won?

The question was, “What is a *pysanka?” I googled it and found that it was a fancy batik Easter egg. So, I won a gift certificate to Sun River Gardens Nursery.

What a fabulous incentive to play in the dirt–free plants!

We found strawberry plants, chamomile, raspberry bushes, grape tomatoes, onions, mint, garlic, rhubarb, an Asian Pear tree, and seeds for everything else. Perfect, techicolor day out with the babies…

I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day.

{ Our True Gifts }

“President Hinckley . . . admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the . . . society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven. . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord”

The Bald Kid and the Wheaties Box

all my stuff 002


I tell the bald kid that all he needs to do in this life is:

1- Throw shot-put at the Olympics

2- Get his face on a Wheaties box

3- Make a million dollars

4- Buy his mother a house…in Scotland

That’s it. No big deal.

Maybe I’m rushing the list a bit with my Wheaties box. I figured it would be fabulous inspiration. He does look great–doesn’t he?

Now, he’s 1/4 of the way there.

I’ll wait patiently for the rest…

I guess.
