My Garden of Weeds



My garden looks--how should I phrase this--terrible!!


The weeds are higher than my head in some places.


I'm still harvesting from it and I'm fairly happy with the yields.


But I'm hoping everyone that drives past our place is nearsighted.


I guess that's pride isn't it?


I was discussing this with my hubby, and bemoaning the state of my beautiful-no-more garden.


Know what he said?


"Don't worry about it, you're growing something more important than a garden."


Made tears come to my eyes.

He's right you know!!

So, if you're a mom, and your garden looks bad.

Or, you don't even have time for a garden.

Look at your babies, and know that this is only a season.
