A Family Affair!

O my...I cannot believe what my eyes are seeing. The seedlings have grown! I screeched with joy while Stuart is looking at me with amusement. You cannot imagine what is racing in my mind. I started to get panic - wondering what I should do as the soil has not been completely transferred to the bed. I make a decisive decision to make sure I finished transferring the soil by 30th April and making plans how to involve my husband!

In my anxiety of transferring the soil to the bed, I hurt my back and my ankle. Not a good start is it! Anyway due to my failings, my lovely husband decided to help me. To tell the truth, he is actually fairly proud the seeds are growing so well. So I think secretly he wants to be involved! By 29th April, we finally transferred all the soil to the bed and decided to buy some strawberry plants! Off we go to Mill Hill Garden Centre and bought some strawberry plants.

Finally on 30th April, we finally transplanted all the seedlings to the bed. It look rather accomplished but we do not follow any instructions at all. Soon after we transferred the seedlings, we decided to water them. Alas and behold, few hours later, it rained - heavily! I am rather worried by that time what will happen to them.

Ah...my husband actually admits he does enjoy some aspects of gardening. Fingers crossed - hopefully he will be more involved!

What really excites me is the involvement of everyone in the family - hubby, myself and of course our little son. For some reason, our little one seems to know what to do! The sight of the family doing things together is so beautiful. It brings us together - with an aim, working hard together to achieve a goal. I am blessed to have a family united together and able to enjoy the blessings of being in a family. There is no way I can imagine how those people who have to bring up their children as single parent - how hard that would be. Sometimes we do take things for granted. Thank God for every blessings.

Well, I have to run as I have to keep abreast with the election results. Going to be a long night.
