Life Happens
Life Happens-
As you and I know, sometimes things don’t work out quite as you planned. That’s life, and often times its unpredictability is what makes it worth living. I recently spent time wondering through our veggie garden with my hubby. I listen closely as he beamed with pride and he pulled back the leaves of plants, cupping his hard working hands around vegetables for me to photograph. We spent happy time together as he described the progress of the potatoes, bell peppers and the squash growing up the trellises he built. Each part of our garden feeds us and others. But it nourishes his soul.
I took so many photos I was concerned I would have a photo heavy blog post. Instead, life happened, the unexpected, unpredictable happened. The camera was mistakenly reset and the photos never made it to the computer. There are no new photos of the garden to share today.
Each vegetable grown in our garden is nurtured and grown with love. Watching him light up when he gives a bag or basket full of vegetables to a friend or family member makes my heart smile, and there are no photos of that to share either. Will anyone be disappointed that I do not share new veggie garden photos today? No. Because, I am sharing something so much better, life.
I will take new photos when the sun is high in the sky.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend sweet bloggy friends and that Life Happens and its unpredictability brings you lots of happy. 🙂
You can still link up to the blog hop ( I look forward to seeing all that you share)

Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m so sorry to hear about the photos you lost. Your lovely post and description of it all made it perfect.
yes. Gardening can be calming. But i cant leave my garden more than 1 week else weed will make its way to my garden
It is wonderful to witness someone’s passion. It is even more wonderful when the person you are watching is someone you love. Agreed. 🙂
In some ways it was nice just imagining the picture you were describing with your words.
God bless you sweetie, I love your love!
So true! Have a great weekend.
Beautiful, magic does happen in the garden. Thanks for sharing. xo
It’s true, life is made of improvisations, each day is a new day. I’m glad to hear that you and your husband were able to leave the garden ready to harvest good vegetables .
Thank you for sharing this Katherine and for the reminder about what is truly important, Have a good weekend!
I just love listening to a man talk about something with such pride! My hubs is very reserved, but when he does talk about something it’s wonderful! 😀
I imagine it is beautiful. Have a great weekend…
Blessings,

Your description brings back great memories of my grandpas garden.
Your description is every bit as lovely as the photos would have been.
You painted such a heartwarming picture with your words I didn’t miss the photo at all.
Have a terrific weekend!
That’s ok doll, you enjoyed the moment with your husband and that is most important, keep enjoying the time together. Have a great weekend xx
At least you still have the memories in your heart.
You are so sweet!
I have had this happen myself and there just isn’t much you can do, but your outlook on it makes all the difference and glad you will take more pics when you can. Thanks for sharing always and happy weekend, Katie 🙂 xoxo!!
Thanks for sharing your heart. I have been inspired to share my journey wIth Huntingtons Disease.
You shared a special memory and that’s more important than a photo.
Yes, life is very unpredictable but thatis what makes it FUN! I am sure your hubby’s veggies are gorgeous. That is how my hubby is with his pond out back; he loves it, nurtures it, does something out there almost every day. It is good for his soul. Have a fabulous weekend!!!!!
