“There
is something deeply satisfying about going into my garden, picking a selection
of herbs and flowers, and brewing them into a tea to make someone feel
better. And to use homemade hand cream
where I know every single ingredient and its origin. Or simply to add freshly-picked parsley to
scrambled eggs...”
Jane Griffiths, Jane’s Delicious

“A
garden required patient labour and attention.
Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfil good
intentions. They thrive because someone
expended effort on them.”
Liberty Hyde Bailey
“And
the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man whom he
had formed.”
Genesis
2:8
Hoping your Thursday is a very thoughtful one indeed!

eat what the produce.” Jeremiah 29:5 ~

Hello Kelly. It is my first commeting here, I discovered your blog few days ago. Wow. It is full of encouragement and I must say that I was delighted to discover that you live in the Western Cape. I am in the Free State. It is good to know that there are other young ladies here in SA that love the Lord and are standing up for the truth.
