Time Began In A Garden

This was first posted on April 27, 2009, on my now retired blog One Generation to Another. I hope you enjoy 🙂 I love gardening. But who can blame me? Time began in a garden, at least biblically speaking. God did not plop Adam and Eve down in the desert.  Nor did he choose a mountain …

Hidden in Plain Site

Yesterday there was a lovely comment made by Tara at Fiddle Mama. (Thank you, Tara ðŸ™‚ She also mentioned that she just made the Quick Craft Basket. She was delighted that now she has all their crafting supplies in one spot, and when the creative juices start flowing in her wee ones, she isn’t riping the house apart looking for supplies, they’re all in a …
