Today was the 1st day of spring and it was following last night’s “super full moon.” We often joke about getting very crazy during a full moon and spring break often has the same reputation. We had an “interesting” day cutting fabric. We had a lot of odd requests.
I have a couple of prayer requests…
- First, one of our managers lost her fiancé’s father last night after being in a coma about a week from a massive heart attack at 60 years old. Please pray for comfort during their grief.
- The other is for a regular customer who had a diabetic crisis while I waited on her. I also noticed a scar from a previous heart surgery. This one we called the Emergency Squad. Please pray for her quick and continued recovery.
On the way home from work today, I picked up some seeds for herbs and vegetables. I have a small sunny area where the herbs grow great in a window box on my stoop’s wrought iron fencing. Last year I got a few tomatoes, sweet green peppers, and couple of zucchini before the squirrels got them. In the German Village (historical area of town) the buildings date back to the mid-late 1800’s. They have small patios or yards so I started planting in window box or patio planters for my vegetable/herb gardening.
The rest of my space is mostly shady where I have flowers. Yesterday, I saw the first crocus. This really signals spring to me more so than a date on the calendar (Oh, and the orange barrels on the highway is another sign).
This is another way to survive… planning ahead & planting edibles if you have the space (no matter how small). If you don’t have your own space, check into some community gardens or coops in your area.
Prayers on the way. You are so right, a few seeds. . .especially edible ones, can help in a lot of ways. I too am looking forward to Spring!
