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.
