It was suppose to be 55 degrees and sunny BUT,
45 degrees met me with cold wind and clouds.
It is disappointing to dress for the chilly weather when expecting warmth of sunshine.
Getting outside I realize my body doesn’t really want to work. My beautiful husband is gracious and grabs the chair for me to sit when needed. During the first hour the chair does come in handy.
After a bit my body seems to warm up to the work and I am able to shovel from the ground while sitting on my pillow. It is just easier on my back muscles to work from the ground.
When I am sitting and digging there is much less movement in the up and down with less bending over. Sitting on the pillow I succeed in shoveling, planting and covering the bulbs.
My plan was to separating the types of bulbs into tulip, hyacinth and daffodils to plant them in some order. It kinda worked last week, but this day it is about getting them in the ground. This is the second half of what was planted last week. These all got into the ground but some of them dried up the months they waited to be planted. Most of them were in good condition.
I seem to have built up a hill sorting through the dirt to get all the roots left from weeding this summer.
I still have bulbs left to put in the ground hopefully they will get in the ground tomorrow.
But then, the snow starts and continues for a month!
The later it got in the year, the more I started to wonder where I was going to store the bulbs so they don’t freeze but get cold enough to grow in the spring. I started asking God what do I do? Cover them with dirt? Put them in the breezeway even tho it is freezing? I don’t know!
December 23, 2025 God gave me the ability to plant the rest of the bulbs. God gave us a sunny 50 degree day and two strips of thawed ground to plant the rest of the bulbs. When I tried to get extra dirt from a different area the ground was frozen.
God Cares about the little things we care about.
Be brave and ask for help in what is important in your life!
GOD IS SO VERY GOOD.
