Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am so happy to say that my family planted its first garden today.

That being said it was just a few dozen flowers and seeds but coming from a person who really cannot say she has ever put her hands in dirt (on purpose ) this is a huge deal for us. We live in the middle of a big city but we do have a very sizable yard and the flowers look so nice around our large trees and in the corner.

I just want to thank all of you that made me realize that a garden would be a part of my schooling. The kids were absolutely thrilled that Mom actually agreed to let them plant things and your wonderful posts about the coming of Spring and your gardens were to blame.

Thank you all again and keep those wonderful discussions about seeds and gardens coming, you might just have a convert on your hands

Thanks for sharing your joy and enthusiasm. Now I've gotta get out and do the same - it's been a few years since we've really planted much and I've vowed that this year we will.
