On Gardening and Making choices

Can ya' dig it!

I'll post more specific on the Bee Bliss Blog
but for now suffice it to say I am just in and cooling down and drying out:)

Goodness it is hot at 8:30 a.m. I got two good hours hard work done though.

After study of the plans I see the priorities and began.
this after the morning bread loaves needed to be sliced and packaged.
I covered them with a towel overnight.
Steve said sorta like running a race and walking the last few yards. I asked him not to let me get away with it next time.




So yesterday I spoke with a fellow for higher to deliver a soil mixture.
It was after budget review that perhaps next month...
Anyhow I need to get that bed ready it would be nice to hire him for that but it is not a doable option.
So this needs to go through a process of digging it down 2 ft and amending it.
I might get some help if Steve gets to feeling better. Little by little i must be very careful.

Morning harvest the last of the moon and stars.
However I did harvest the seed from the best melon and have it drying so if any of you would like some let me know.
I only used 9 seeds for all of that.
However these cost me $3. for those 9 seeds.
Moon and stars is an old Amish melon heirloom variety.


I found this one lone last carrot he was under the melon vines when I tuned the soil I was a bit stunned and pleased too.
I'll put it in the cabbage for the slaw today.

The rolls were good I had one with my coffee.
It was whole wheat with only the butter/brown sugar, raisins soaked in OJ and the walnuts crushed and thin chopped.
simple and yummy a little plane for I forgot to add the spice or well just did not add it. Some days I just do as I do. Not a recipe for them just the doing of it to the other side of the project. There is no cinnamon or spice...they are a nice pure flavor of the walnut and raisin. Went well with the coffee.

You know This zero balance budget is so cool...The old me would of just had that soil delivered (still might later) but the thought process and the goals tend to make you really look at the options and search for the solutions that would just be left aside for the simple.
The quick and easy, simple and fast has sold us into slavery ya know.
A free man has options, choices and opinions.

That made me think of the gift given by my husband so many years ago...
The tool to use when your making a choice.

List the pros/cons on top of a sheet op paper for each option.

example
Yellow or Blue

yellow
pro/con

blue
pro/con

You will soon see that every choice has its pros and cons
The choice will depend on what your willing to give up to gain

Or what your willing to gain if you let something else go.

Choice it is a wonderful thing.
Now seeing the cons that involve issues tender...that is the evidence of where maturity is needed what to focus on in your personal growth.
Then Study to show yourself approved.
Some risks well they bear great costs and once you have made the choice that has cost you dearly....
You can look back and remember that reason why you chose to do it.
Some choices are so very painful even when it is the right choice for you to do.
Remember though to do your best to explore every option.
Many times the color is not just a yellow or a blue to consider but the whole of the spectrum often reveling options we would have never even considered or that we were blind to.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
