it was a lovely saturday. full of saturday things. like starting a veggie/herb garden!
when I asked my husband (he's the cook and I told him he has to be the gardener because I could commit to helping but I could not commit to being the master of it for a full summer term) if he liked doing the gardening thing he responded that gardening reminded him of the fall of man.
genesis 2:17-19
Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food
until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.
so pulling those weeds and stupid stupid thistles that poke and splinter is our punishment. our punishment for being human. hopefully our bounty reminds us of what it is to be Godly and to seek that furthur.
