After a long day of studying and writing I went out to work in the garden this afternoon. I have a lot of work to do this season. Three big lorry loads of soil is to be moved and used to level of the lowest terrace in the garden. Last year I built a strong concrete wall. This year I plan to fill it up and to finish my vegetarian garden.
We already have some fruit trees as well as some blackcurrant bushes. I would like at least one more apple tree and several kind of berry bushes as well as strawberries.
But today I was just shuffling soil. It was heavy work and I was perspiring a lot. My heart was beating fast, but it was so nice to do some “proper” work. I thank God for the ability to work and for this garden that needs so much work to be done. After researching and writing working with my hands using my muscles is very refreshing.
God is good!
