Saturday morning we were out in the garden trying to get control of all the weeds that have been flourishing and multiplying the past two summers! Jared, being the youngest, was stuck with the small hoe that didn't work the best. He tried many different angles to diplomatically talk the rest of us into switching hoes. His 'hard hearted' sisters only informed him that he can use what he has. The garden truly was a carpet of green, but we got it done even though the soil was still plenty wet. I had to think of how the weeds resemble habits! Leave a bad habit grow and it takes over our space and leaches the good out of our lives, as well as rippling out to affect those around us! I should take a habit check every time I work in my garden.
Today is such a beautiful day! The sound of the creek, the wind in the trees, the sun highlighting the many shades of green, and then best of all, to have family to enjoy it with! Summer in Idaho is beautiful!
