Friday, 18 May 2007 - Gardening tools

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for my gardening tools.

I don't use or need expensive tools to create and maintain my gardens.

Gloves (nicely broken-in). Trowel. Pick axe. Weed puller. Watering can.

Like most gardeners, I invest heavily in plants. No matter my budget, I love the free plants and seeds that friends offer me during the year.

I also seek the only-a-true-gardener-can-love cast-offs that sell for a dollar or so at the local nursery.

For these blessings, I am grateful.

Amen.
