52 Week Blessing Challenge – Week 9 Being Home From the Hospital

I feel so blessed to be home from the hospital! Emily is doing better each day. On Saturday she only needed medication twice for pain. She slept Saturday night and was nearly pain-free yesterday! This morning she was awake at her regular time (4am) and began the day by laughing and talking. Even from my room I knew she was playing with the balloons a friend gave her while in the hospital. They are tied at the head of her bed and she can get her arm up there and with a clawed hand she can grasp the strings and pull the balloons toward her.

I’m so blessed to finally have time to plant my garden. The garden is a couple of months overdue, but that’s okay. The sun has been out for something like 23 days straight. I’m praying that the nice weather continues.

The seedlings were planted and the plastic top put over them. This tray holds lettuce, spinach, green onions, green beans, carrots, and watermelon (might be too late for this).

The new garden holds 3 kinds of tomato, a jalapeno plant, cilantro, peas (they will be tied to the fence by next week), and cucumbers.

First fruits from the strawberry patch!
