Greene Garden

Check out these pictures of our garden!

This is the first time I have ever planted a garden. I found a lot of comedy in having no idea what I was doing – tilling the soil, pushing earth around, sowing seed – but I can't wait to see something come up from under the earth! We planted squash, lettuce, tomatoes, watermelon, leeks, beetsJonathan was a big help, raking out the weeds and sticks, pushing seeds into the soil, and generating endless interesting and hilarious questions about gardening.


Actually, that reminds me of a funny thing Jonathan said the other day. We looked together at a photo of some missionary friends of ours in Egypt. I told him that they had just moved to Egypt and he gasped, “Egypt! But that's a baaaad place.” “Why is it bad?” I asked. “Because the King of Egypt is killing all the babies there.” (Last week we read together about the “boy who survived”, Moses, whom God protected from the King of Egypt's killing spree).
