We have a garden!

This past Saturday ,my father in law and 14 yr old son planted seeds for our garden.I am so happy!! My father in law lives 2 houses down,and he just came over one day and took the initiative and prepared  the soil.Another awesome thing he has done ,is plant 4 myrtle trees and several fruit trees ,and last year he planted about 7 palm trees.We are so blessed to have a family member with 2 green thumbs.Everything he plants seems to grow! And I love the fact that my son is working with him.That's what I call an involved grandparent!



Love this picture~just precious!
