A Date with the Mud

So my little ones and I decided to plant a garden, from seeds. It’s been a great learning experience in love, patience and planting triple what is needed in hopes that something may survive. One morning last week while Sis and I were clearing out the garden after a few days of amazing rain I looked over and saw this sweet memory.

Don’t you remember the first time you really played in the mud? I mean got deep down dirty, head to foot, loving the feel of the squishy, slimy mud?

I remember making mud pies. Not so yummy but oh so fun to make.

And here is our little garden before it made it into the ground. We’re halfway planted now. We just need to get some more dirt. It’s actually been a great teaching tool in prayer and in where food really comes from. And little kids definitely make it twice as exciting!
