Emily…wanted to stop by and thank you for helping me to have the courage to start a weekly summer Linky party on my own blog! Its my first attempt…(quite scary..LOL) Biggest fear is no one will link up! I would really appreciate your prayers…you are such an encouragement to me!!!! I read your blog daily and you always help me to focus on what’s really important in my life…remembering to see how God is in control at all times!!! Something I will need to remind myself of often now that the kiddos are all home for the summer…let the excitement begin!!! Still praying for you and your writing everyday!!! Can’t wait to read your first book!!!

Good for you! I, too, am fearful around plants. I've killed far too many beauties to not be afraid. But I dearly love to look at growing things. Thanks for the encouragement to get out and plant something! .-= Lori @ The Davidson Den´s last blog ..Project 365: Week 22 =-.

Thank you, as always for hosting a party that let’s us all celebrate the simple, lovely things in this world there are to be thankful for if we take the time to slow down and see them.

I have no idea what you planted. I love to garden and do the weeding and watering and such but I rarely know what anything is unless it grows something obvious like a tomato or strawberry off of it or if I ask my mom. She knows what everything is

I can identify with you Emily. I love flowers and long for one of those English gardens, but I really lack a green thumb (which seems somehow important). I think the real problem is my penchant for wanting great results with little effort. I’m working on that!
I love it when my little efforts are successful and am encouraged to keep learning and trying. Your post spoke to me in so many ways.

P.S. I am also rather deficient in computer skills, so this is probably just me. I can’t get the code for your button because when I right click after highlighting the html nothing happens. Ditto with trying to add my link. I have to type it in because I can’t get the “copy, paste, etc,” box to pop up when I right click. Am I doing something wrong – or rather do you know what I’m doing wrong?

Girl, I am coveting a pretty yard right now. Our newish house “boasts” a row of ugly builder shrubs along the front of the house and that’s it. Our backyard is a one-acre treeless, barren, former cow-pasture. Between my perfectionist tendencies and our lack of landscaping budget, I have basically done nothing, wanting to draw the shades and escape the scorn of my neighbors with pretty yards. But you’ve made me want to go pull some weeds…and read Mary’s books. : )

complete solidarity over here on the lack of green thumbs. i too have gorgeous bushes and blooms only because someone else planted them and they have (thus far) survived in spite of me. (i have, in a bold stroke of optimism, recently planted tomatoes, mostly because i hear they are impossible to kill. they may be underestimating my ability to murder leafy green things, though. we shall see.) good luck with your maybe-zinnias. they are looking quite happy and tallish. .-= nic´s last blog ..once upon a sunday afternoon. =-.

I started really enjoying our yard when I gave up on the idea of keeping it neat and tidy. Our veggies mix in among flowers, and we look at weeds as part of the package. Our garden is a mess, but there is so much goodness packed in there. I like to say our lives of fruitful – with boys and tomatoes.

you’ll have to post some more garden/landscape pictures as the season goes on??
