Rain Garden 05/06/09
Now I know the Parable: Invitation to Peacemaking had some impact. Last time I sent out an invitation to witness for Marquette to Teach War No More, hardly anyone responded. Today when my friend and I sent out another one I got a whole bunch of No’s within hours. No’s are not as good as Yes’s but better than ‘indifference’ and no response.
The rain garden did give a big Yes to spring today. The daffodils and tulips are in full bloom while the rest of the perennials get ready to bloom. Flowers do bring joy to gardening. However, most of today was spent preparing the new front lawn garden and coming up with a new design for the area along the fence in the driveway. Also today I decided to plant one large area in the backyard with a mix of plants, the Native America trio of corn, squash and beans and maybe something else. Pictures of these three new garden adventures will be coming.
Also today was my first big harvest from the backyard garden, chives and the greens of the Spanish onions. They both made tonight’s salad especially good, another taste, like rain garden, of spring.
Spring is popping up all over the place. I pray for eyes to see.
