Woo Hoo!!

My roses arrived today! They look great. I wish I could post a picture, but I'll have to borrow my roommate's camera or wait 'til my parents get home next week. (Yes, next week!) The roses are spending the night in my garage, due to a slight chance of frost tonight. I'll put them outside tomorrow and then probably plant them on Saturday. My muscles are going to be crazy big because I've got to dig 2' X 2' holes for each of them!! (Okay, maybe I'm just going to be crazy sore...) Apparently, the roots can only grow into the soil as far as the original hole. So if I want the root system to be healthy, the hole has to be pretty big. Anyway - soon they should be blooming and I'll have flowers...

I think what I really love about this project is that it doesn't matter how much work I do, it's God who causes the roses to grow. If this turns out beautiful, it's because He created it. I hope that this flower garden turns into a love letter from Jesus.
