It's my first trimester, and I didn't have my garden planted. I'm on moderate rest, and not able to do a lot of walking and shopping and such. I'm completely touched by the generous offers for meals and help AND PRAYERS from so many of you.

I waved my white flag and asked if Mary Chris and Elizabeth could help me get some veggies and help plant my garden before Memorial Day.

So today Mary Chris, her daughter MacKenzie, and two of Elizabeth's children, Mary Beth and Paddy, came over. They brought some vegetable plants, planted, and then played with my son. After the planting (which went so fast) I was able to put my feet up and chat with Mary Chris...we had a lovely time. And I'm just so touched by the charity and generosity...truly, you are 4Real Friends.

And I saw Mary Chris's lovely new garden in her backyard this evening. It has inspired me to try to find a bit of room in my tiny yard for a few veggies and/or herbs.
