"Withoutdoors" Wednesday

This picture is of my daughter Laura Beth, smelling my roses.

Last summer I was asked to help out at my sister Renee's work. She works for a company that plans meetings for her boss to come and speak at conventions for the leaders in the hotel business.

I was in charge to organize someones desk, and to find out why she was so unorganized. This lady gave her notice to leave, so the time of was the essence. Not even her boss knew exactly what she was doing? Anyway, they needed someone right away to oversee her position because, everyone else in the office had so many duties to attend to.

Renee asked if I could help her out. I said sure, this will be fun for a change, and my husband does work at home, I'll do it. But it was hard to be in an office all day. I was happy to help out but unhappy. I couldn't figure out why I felt so closed in, then it hit me, I missed my garden.

At home, I work in and out of the home. I walk to and fro from my kitchen to my garden, all day long. I was free. I have a hammock for when it's time to read. There is even a trampoline outside for a jump or two. I could watch the hummingbird fly or the chickadee talk to our dog. In other words, I could stop and smell the roses, anytime I wanted to.

Since yesterday, was "T" day, I thought of today for Wednesday, to be "Withoutdoors".
My gardening day. My day to walk the dog, my day to enjoy outside especially since it is not raining today.

We do not have a gardener for the "E" word, EXERCISE for my darling hubby and myself.

I will be weeding, pruning, bending, pulling while throwing the ball around with our doggy, "Louie". I will be exercising, and James will be out there too.

I love being at home, free to walk with God and His creation, Withoutdoors.

Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you. (Genesis 13: 14-15)

I am very thankful for my garden. Thank you God.

Bloom for your KING!
