Fruitfulness

This is my first time linking with Dayle over at A Collection of This and That for Thursday's Simple Pleasures.
Without my daughter and her love and care I would not be doing this; so that is the true simple pleasure.

My Simple Pleasure today is the vegetable garden. I love working with my husband there; and then there is the joy of the harvest.
My grand-daughter said she could eat heaps of freshly picked snow peas.
I never cease to marvel at what comes to fruitfulness from a packet of seeds or a punnet of seedlings.




We, too, can know such fruitfulness.

  1. I have a vegetable garden and I really enjoy it. Sometime I think I blog about it to much,but I really love everything about it.
    I feel the same way you do about seeds.

  3. Thanks for including me in your blog, Grandma. "My grand-daughter said she could eat heaps of freshly picked snow peas." Lots of little nice things can definitely change into one big beautiful thing. I love walking in your veggie garden and there is nothing nicer than fresh veggies straight from your garden.

  4. Welcome to Simple Pleasures. What a gorgeous garden you have there. I'm a big lover of fresh produce, and pray that one day I'll have the space (and energy) to grow a garden of my own. Truly a wonderful simple pleasure.

    I hope you'll join us often.

  9. Loving your garden--also, I will be learning a new word today--I have never seen or heard the word "punnet" so I am headed to the online dictionary as soon as I leave here.

    So glad you made it over to my blog. God bless you!

  13. You are right -- God can do so much with just a little bit. No matter how tiny our offering, God can grow it into something beautiful. Welcome to Simple Pleasures!

  14. There seems to be a garden theme this week, and I love it. We had a garden for the first time in years this year. There's nothing quite like the fruit of your own hands.

    And now, I'm googling "pickled snow peas".

  15. A wonderful simple pleasure but one with hard work involved too I think. I've never heard of snow peas, don't think we get them over here.
