How Does Your Garden Grow Challenge

Mary Zach thought it would be fun to have a "how does your garden grow" challenge.  We invited everyone to send in pictures of anything growing in your yard- flowers, vegetables, trees, landscaping ideas, etc. In the next few days we will be sharing some of your photos. If you haven't already, please send us a photo or two or several!  We will continue to post them as long as you continue to share.

Look out your window. The following is from the book, "Everyday mindfulness."

When we are busy indoors we seem to forget that we are part of the world outside.  If you are working inside today, make the effort to look out of the window, even if only for a short while.  This works particularly well if there is some nature outside to focus on-- trees, flowers, birds, or simply the clouds in the sky are all useful focal points to bring us back into the present moment.

I was able to enlist the help of a couple of volunteers demonstrating the art of looking out the window! :)  The first being our grandson and the second being our family kitty cat.

My flowers have not started blooming yet but I did want to share one of my favorite pictures from last year of our tree with a smiling face.

The following is a picture sent to us from Joan Tiemeyer. So pretty! Thanks Joan!

Next Dale Pritchett snapped these photos of some pretty blooms at her house.

Up next we have some pretty blooms sent to us from Jerry and Jo Ann Birkby. 

Thank you to those submitting these pretty pictures to share with everyone. Keep them coming!  We do have more lined up to share and are hoping to be receiving more each day!  

Remember to look out the window and see the beauty of nature!

Blessings,
Mindy
