Naps

I just woke up from my nap. It seems I need one almost every day now. My mind feels sharper after a nap and I feel like I can go on until evening now. I got to talk to my best friend in the whole world today, Sharon M, and it always makes me sad that we are so far away from each other. But thank God for cell phones, and e-mail. All you pray-ers out there please join me in praying for my friend, God knows what about.

I wrote last week about memorizing, and this week I realized I should do it like anatomy in college. Index cards and carry it with me and drill myself when driving or a few minutes to spare, plus I wrote keywords to remind myself of the correct order. I thought I already knew the 23rd Psalm but apparently I didn't remember the exact order! So that has been my passage this week to memorize. I trust with more effort the memorization will get easier. Anyway, I went and got the index cards and the cute little boxes to hold them in for all the people in my Sabbath school class. Walmart has these cute little snap box holders in the back to school section this year. Just don't throw away the cardboard insert or you'll never snap your box again until full of cards. I cut the insert into a front, back and bottom joined piece (got rid of the top section) so I can put the unused cards into the cardboard sleeve and keep the card or cards that I am memorizing in front of the insert. Did this make sense?

We ate our first two tiny ripe tomatoes from the garden last night for supper. You forget after awhile just how much store bought tomatoes lack, even the ones still on the bit of dried up vine, until you have that first one out of your garden. Oh, the juicy sweetness that bursts into your mouth as your brain does a giant sigh of bliss! Fresh tomatoes! Summer is here at last.

We finally got the parsnips, carrots, beets and radishes re-planted with the sawdust on top to help with moisture and we have radishes coming up thick as thieves and teeny tiny little beet sprouts are visible. The wind and heat here have been extra wild this year. Makes you feel like a brand new gardener wringing your hands!

I have been following several different blogs this week and one of them is a woman gardener in France, they have bind weed there, too! Some people write, some people take pictures and some do both. It's very interesting! I need to get my childlike spirit rekindled and take more pictures. It is important to see other's worlds through their eyes.
If you are reading any other blogs, tell me about them and why you llike them and I'll share mine with you, too.

Have a wonderful Sabbath and rest in Jesus.
