Thoughts for today

This is one squash vine. It is so huge I had to pull it out of my Eggplant plant. It was devouring it.
Isnt this beautiful. As I said it is at least four feet tall and growing. at first it did not produce very many squash and now I can get at least ten at each picking. The homeless shelter will love to see me coming.

So my thought for today was something I read in Billy Grahams memoriers.

"When we come to the end of ourselves, we come to the beginning of God."
Isnt that a beautiful thought. Really makes you wonder where you are in Gods perfect will. I pray myself is gone, and I am totally in Gods will but I am human and humans do make mistakes, Thankfully we do have an advocate with our Heavenly Father and can call on him in a seconds notice and he will come to our rescue.

Ok on to my post.
Here it is Wednesday and I am dragging myself again. I think I am sleeping too hard. Sounds weird huh? I feel as if I am in a stupor when I wake in the morning.




So to wake me up I think happy thoughts, (Like Peter Pan on Hook,) My happy thoughts can make me fly, fly as in get moving.




His happy thought was being a Dad. My happy thoughts of today are my many blessings. ( My life for him, my patient husband, children and grandchildren and my many physical and spiritual gifts from God.)




OK Now I am awake.




Yesterday we had a garden meal. Turkey burgers, with fresh corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes and fruit.




It was so good. My corn is Bodacious, (Variety) It is a very sweet, full eared corn. Now I have to plan on a day to set and schuck and process all that corn, it will be over 100 ears. YIKES!!




I told David he has to pick it and we can both work it.




So it will have to be on a day he has off, maybe we will begin on Saturday. By then I should be rested enough to move ahead with putting away veggies.




Yesterday I took my squash and food to the homeless shelter.




As we walked in with the pumpkin, an older colored gentleman asked, "What kind of squash is that?" We told him pumpkin then when he saw the butternut squash he says, "I loves dat butternut squash"




All I could think was "Thank you God for letting me have an abundance of squash".




When evening began falling I walked back to the garden and picked over 15 squash off one vine.




I have never seen a squash plant grow like that. In addition it has pretty squash on it, very smooth crook neck squash.




I also planted one of the same variety by my front walkway, jsut for the looks of a beautiful plant with blossoms, it is no where near as big as my garden plant.




My butternut are still putting out babies, besides the massive amount that are about ready to pick, I have all stages of growth of new squash.




I wish God woudl grant us a way to live our lives out here, Although it is hard work, it is also the best soil in California. That is a fact. It has been rated by the state Agriculture Dept.




Who knows what the future holds. We have often dicussed how this would be a different place had we bought it in the early 70's. I can see lots of gardens on this six acres and I pray whoever buys it puts as much love into it as we have.




One of the clients has come into a bit of money and he wants it. His Mom is taking his trust out and he may purchase it. Time will tell.




He is the one that comes out each week and edges the lawns nad takes care of the trim work.




His Mom came out and picked up the flyer so she could study it. I am sure she would move out here with him.




So keep it in your prayers.




OK back to what my day will hold.




Right now I need to clean the office, it is a mess, plus I am packing it up now. So many things that can be put away. Things we never use as in old Computer books and loads of recipe books.




Then on the more laundry. I have to wash Gwenas bedding before taking it home. Or not. It is not dirty. It is just used. I will air it out then decide.

I will close now with each of you in my heart and in my prayers.
