I do a lot of icon-decorating during the summer feasts and could have used three times as many flowers as I had last year. Plus, if I have enough then I don't feel bad decimating the beds for flowers for the house. And I really, really like flowers in the house.

I really do believe there is as much to learn from the process as the product. I am praying that the lessons you are learning bear much fruit.monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642730156551533316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886572052378053.post-90741618064694816962011-07-17T21:08:54.177-07:002011-07-17T21:08:54.177-07:00When I first saw the pictures I was going to say: ...When I first saw the pictures I was going to say: no fair bragging!!! But then I read the rest of the post and will take it into consideration when I (hopefully) plant a garden again next year.
