Well, it’s still Monday and I’m actually getting to my post! I think that’s pretty good for me!
It’s that time of year again. Yeah, that’s right, it’s time to get the gardening going. My goal this week is to get soil blocks made and seeds started. I kept my seed ordering down this year trying to use what I already have before the seeds go bad. I am planning on trying my hand at seed saving this year. Although, I’ve really liked the lasagna gardening it’s now January and I still haven’t gotten all the beds “lasagna-ed” so I’m going to try the biointensive garden method and see how that does for us. It’s a double digging method. I have checked out the few books I could find through the library on building up healthier soil and this method seems like it might work the best for me. Time will tell but I’m excited to see how it works out.
I have to tell this story because it’s been on my mind. Last week we went to the local home improvement store to just browse which we do often. Anyway, there were all these paints sitting there at the paint counter with free taped on them. Well, I couldn’t believe no one had snagged them up so I did. They were the smaller sample sized paints. We started looking around and J found a nice faux finish on clearance for 1/4 of the regular price. So of course we started trying to figure out what to have it tinted and what room to use it in. Well, J left to get a cart and as I was looking I made a comment to the lady at the paint counter that I took all her free paint. She said she was happy to get rid of it and she was always trying to clean out under the counters. I then told her that I was starting some craft parties with the teenage girls. Upon hearing this she got under the counter and pulled out some nice sparkley paints and said teenage girls love this stuff! I had to share this because there are times when we feel like there really aren’t nice people walking around but things like this really make you realize that there are a lot of really nice people still left out there. It really left quite an impression on me that she was so thoughtful and kind. It just goes to show that there are always ways God is blessing us through others!
