Living in Texas, where drought is often a reality, we rejoice when God hears and answers our prayers for rain! In the last forty-eight hours, we have been blessed with an abundance of spring rain and unseasonably cool temperatures. Today, my outdoor thermometer never registered above fifty-five degrees while the rain fell steadily most of the day. The next three days promise to be mild and sunny. Even so, the ground will be too wet for in-ground gardening for several days. During this gardening break, we will be planning the next phase in the Twelve Tribes Garden, building raised beds in the one-acre vegetable garden, and tending to the compost pile. By the end of the week, I hope to have a nice, newsy post for you all!
