Today is the last day of May … Sat, 31 May 2008 - or the 26th of Iyyar, 5768 the 41st day of the Omer. Today is an interesting day …. last night was another thunderstorm here in the midwest, lots of lightning, some hail and lots of holding of breath hoping that my seedlings in my garden weren’t beaten up too much. This morning, the sun is shining brightly and the air is crisp and fresh - you know that wonderful clean smell after a spring or summer rain? What a beautiful feeling it gives your whole spirit! It is refreshing and uplifting - especially on a Sabbath!

I went out to my garden - it looks wonderful and I’m so pleased with how it’s growing. The corn is poking thru the ground now at about 2″, the taters and sweet taters look pretty decent, the strawberries are loaded and I’m hoping the birds will share some with me … spinach, beans, lettuce and flax look very good - tomatoes don’t look so hot - they need a bit of help, but the peppers that I planted along side of them as a companion plant look ok. And of course then there are the numerous zucchini and squash plants…my favs - they look really good…can’t wait for some zucchini!!

As I meandered around the garden and sang some praises to Yahovah .. I was just so blessed to be able to give Him glory this wondrous morning. He is so merciful and has blessed me so much.

May His mercy endure forever.

Sweet Sabbath!
