Yesterday, I found out that our move out of the city will have to be postponed for a week or two. I am living in a cardboard jungle with a baby, so that is very frustrating. I also need to get my garden planted. Yesterday, I was able to go to the new place and put in strawberries, roses, and a blackberry bush. The current owner said she'd water them for me. So, that is good. Last night, I resolved to plant what I can when we move and make a bigger garden next year. ::sigh::
I spent some time this morning reading scripture on patience and "hurry up and wait". It made me feel better and I know there is a reason for it all.
I had a great time talking with my grandpa JT yesterday. JT is a quiet man and we've never really had much in common. We took a walk around his property (he lives about 15 minutes from our new place). He told me all about his plantings and gardens. I picked up some great tips. As we drove to our new place, I felt so grateful to finally be at a place in life where I don't have to reinvent the wheel and can really appreciate knowledge that others share with me.
You know, I wish Grandma J, Grandpa JT, and I had been closer. It turns out that we're not so different. Grandma J is a great cook and canner. (Although she's given up canning and has graciously offered me all of her jars.) Grandpa JT was a reserve police officer for a time.
No time like the present to build that relationship...right? It's kind of exciting to imagine what else I can learn from them.
That's my ramblings for now...
God bless you all!

I didn't know JT was a reserve officer! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, you are doing great!
I got another post you wrote but must have removed. Just wanted you to know what you're going through is normal. Babies bring a new normal to life, as well as a pining for "boring Tuesdays." My oldest baby is almost 8 and I still miss those days! Enjoy learning all about the new normal in your life. :)
