The Summer Garden

We planted our summer garden last week. It was great fun, and the plants are doing well. Our strawberries have been producing abundantly, and we have peaches on our peach tree. The only problem is that Bunny has discovered a taste for strawberries. She sneaks into the garden when we are not looking and eats her fill. We had noticed that we were not harvesting as many as we thought we should be, but we did not suspect Bunny until it rained. The next morning there were paw prints in the garden. That evening, we watched as the sneaky little Pit Bull squeezed under the fence and wandered up and down the rows, hunting for the perfect berry. Bad dog! Hopefully we will be able to dissuade her from raiding our berry patch in the future.

Daddy installed a drip irrigation system in the garden for us. It has been such a time saver, since the weather has been warm and dry lately. I was watering by hand every day, and that takes a while. Now all one only has to turn on a faucet to water the whole garden. What a blessing. We now have more weeding time, so we can keep the weeds in check.

Here is today's memory verse.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:17 KJV
