Garden (Five Minute Friday)

Well, it's Friday and the word to write about today is Garden...so here goes.

When I think of the word "Garden" it literally makes me think of the kind of garden that you would grow in your yard. This is probably because for the last 5 years I have talked about starting a garden. I still want to. However, we have been renting and it seems like a lot of work and/or money to start a garden that we move away from and have to start all over again so for now we wait.

On that note, it is probably good because Gardens do take a lot of work to keep up. Right now, time is something that does not come to me in plentiful supply. I do feel that in a year or two, more of my kids will be able to take on or at least be helpful in the care of a garden.

It is something that I believe we will have someday but right now, the word "Garden" represents the things in my life that I need to wait on right now....and that is ok.

We are blessed to live in a time when I can run to the store or the Farmers market and get wonderful produce for our family so that will just have to suffice for this family right now.

I could have written about the beautiful day, almost 7 years ago now that Tom proposed to me at the Botanical Gardens in D.C. when we were visiting one of my besties and her husband with some of our friends....but I guess that will wait for another time :)


This blog is liked up with Five Minute Friday!

  1. I'm with you! I want to start a garden too- veggies, fruit trees, etc but we have so much wildlife in our area that we would have to find a way to keep them from eating all the fruits of our labor! Thanks for sharing.

  2. Same problem here, and our lease actually forbids gardening! But one day I dream of getting my fingers dirty in the soil again... although I really want to take up flower gardening before trying vegetables!

  3. I have also been wanting to start my own garden and renting is what is holding me back right now. In fact, I did my own 5 Minute Friday post on a similar topic right before your post. One of my stipulations for buying a home is it must have a yard big enough for the kids to play in and to also have a small vegetable garden.
