In The Garden

I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses . . .

And He walks with me,
and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .

And He walks with me,
and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

A
nd the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
by C. Austin Miles, 1912

Would you care to join us as we take a walk in the garden...








In just a short while we will be picking fresh homegrown cucumbers.




I can't wait to make pickles!


Peas anyone???




I can almost smell the fresh zucchini bread now...


All this squash needs is a little salt, pepper and butter...


There's nothing better than fresh bell peppers...


Unless of course it's a fresh jalapeno pepper!


Our onions are doing famously. I just love the fragrance of them.


Corn, corn everywhere...






One can never have too many tomatoes...












"Mr. Stripey" our heirloom tomato

It's looking very good and healthy! Did the round up work on the glove? I had to replant EIGHT tomato plants today because we got frost while we were gone for the weekend. It was hit or miss it seemed, and the other 12-15 seemed fine. Wierd.

Sarah,

Oh that is disappointing to have to replant, but been there done that! *grin*

As for the glove trick...yes, it actually worked! Hubby is so smart.
