Played in the dirt!

So I should have worked on school papers, gone to work to do the project I didn't get done on Friday, cleaned house, cooked, or any number of other things............

BUT I have been wanting to play in my yard getting it ready for winter for a while now....it was nice out today and I had all my supplies.......


SO-----I played in the dirt!


I put a ring around my tree and planted some pansies to have some color for the winter!


And when I was putting mulch in the other flower bed, I found this one last rose!  It was tucked into the bush behind it!

I thought it was so pretty hiding in the bush!  It's hard to put into words, but it some how pictured to me that I am hiding in God's love!
I don't know exactly why, but when I saw it I just felt like God gave me a hug!

I think that rose was a hug from the big guy! What a treat to find that beautiful rose!

Glad that you are getting settled into your new place and now doing landscaping touches. We need to play in the dirt too and get our bulbs planted!
