On June 27th, We took some pictures of our garden. On July 5th more pictures were taken, and you can see how much our tomato plants and corn stalks have grown in those 9 days!

Elsie wrote this as the prompt for this week  

Good morning, Tuesday has rolled around again, seems quick to me,

So going to ask that you write something about time, time saved, and time

Lost, of just having a good time. Lately time has been escaping me, I

don't know what keeps me so busy.

Please write a poem or short story using time as your prompt in your

post. A poem can be any length and try to keep your stories to around 500

words.

Please post your submissions by next Monday night, July 4, at 12 AM and

tag it with TWE, post it to Gather Writing Essentials and Tuesday Writing

Essentials. Look at that, July already, Time is flying by,

Looking forward to your posts,

Love, Elsie

Here is my story

Time is

Time is allusive, comprehensible, and downright mean.

Time can be fun, enjoyable, laughable, a good time to be had by all.

Time is ever changing into things you may not want

Time is ever changing into things you do want

Time is hard to wait for.

Time is easy to leave you.

Time is forever not on my side.

Time is forever what God creates of it

Time is to be smothered

Time is to be slimmed out.

With all the rain we have been having, our garden is growing in leaps and bounds. The days where it's dry, and their have been no rains, I have rain water in barrels that I have captured when we do get rain. So for the most part our garden has been watered up to this point with almost nothing but rain water, from the time the garden was started. Also each and every plant (except when it rains) is watered at the base of the plant. We have two small gardens. The ones in the pictures, are the first garden we always had. This year we made another one, which was started about three weeks after this one, had everything planted. Took time to create a fence, till, and plant. So that one is behind in growing, but doing quite well.

You ever hear that where your heart resides that is where your home will be? I have. My heart belongs to Florida. True bad things frightening thing have happened to me there, but there will always be something about Florida that I absolutely love.

I love Walt Disney World’s parks, Sea World, and the Holy Land Experience. I love the awesome palm trees. Palm trees remind me of the Holy Land where Jesus lived Palm Sunday will always remind me of the Awesome palm trees and it’s long lasting history with Christianity, and association with the bible. Also

I have learned that my home will always be where my heart is and my heart belongs to Mickey Mouse lol just kidding my heart belongs to Jesus. Jesus is my lord and savior and I love him with all of my heart. So no matter where the Lord takes me. I will follow because Jesus is in my heart and I know he only has the best interest for me. I love my Lord Jesus.

Dandelions

Hi my name is Dande

And I am a dandelion

I spend all my days

Talking to my friends

Frolicking in the lazy sun

And just have a good old time.

Some people call me a weed,

A nasty pest that destroys their gardens.

I do not mean too,

That is just where the wind, my friend, takes me to plant.

Oh sure I can uproot the sidewalk

Or suffocate a plant with too much love and affection

But none the less some Human love me dearly

They love to eat my delicious leaves

The love to look at my beautiful head, which looks like a small sun,

Some when I die they love to blow on me and lunch my children into the air

So they have a chance to live

In all do not have me for I am a weed

Please love me for who I am

I am the dandelion

I like to watch a show called Raven

It is a Native American show with some of the characters being mythological creatures.

It shows the story about what lessons a child must learn growing up and the native folk lore that goes along with that lesson.

I  believe it is an awesome powerful teaching tools for the kids.

A couple of lessons I have learned

Work and Play

All work and no play

make a hum drum day

All play and no work

No food on my fork

Equal amounts of work and play

make for a wonderful day

and

Change of Life

Change of life is like a butterfly

It begins as a catapillar

than munches along the way

becomes fat wraps  itself into a coocon

and than changes into a beautiful butterfly
