A Wonderful Fall Day!

It was supposed to rain and be dreary today.  We were blessed with a beautiful blue sky and a delightfully comfortable temperature in the mid to upper 60s.  My husband and I even enjoyed lunch on the porch.  Those days are rapidly coming to and end I am afraid.

The forecast says that we will get our first frost tonight.  And if anybody is going to get a frost it will be us.  It seems we live in just the "right" spot. 

With that in mind, I asked my hubby to start our little tiller (the thing works well, but the carburetor is gunked up and it is horrible to start).  Since he will be running the big tiller on the Ford tractor over the bulk of the garden, I pulled up some corn stalks that finished a short row of late broccoli and Brussels sprouts.  I figure that he can run the big tiller whenever he wants and the garlic will be close to the edge and not be bothered.

It was wonderful to be out in the sun and getting my hands dirty...and knees.  I have come to realize that I really enjoy the digging and planting part of gardening.  The weeding and picking--not so much.

It was a wonderful, productive and busy day.

Increase my faith in the clear knowledge of
   atonement achieved, expiation completed,
   satisfaction made, guilt done away,
   my debt paid, my sins forgiven,
   my person redeemed, my soul saved,
   hell vanquished, heaven opened, eternity made mine.
