Zucchini, Pulled Pork, and Prayers

I haven't posted about my garden in a while, but it is still there. They say that summer gardens are wild and unorganized. Mine is no exception. The only things that have been able to withstand the desert heat are tomatoes, zucchini, and cantalope. The zucchini and cantalope seem to brush the sun aside and just keep growing and growing. I have learned that 3 or for long, slow soakings from the hose per week are much better than watering everyday from hand, or a watering system. Once I started doing this, my pretties doubled in size. I am anxious to begin a fall garden.

I came accross this bad boy just this morning. He (I am pretty sure it is a "he") will be good with our pulled pork, corn on the cob, and crusty bread tonight. You can find a fabulous, easy recipe for pulled pork here, http://marinscreations.blogspot.com/search/label/PORK.

Lastly, I wanted to share a quote that Warren and I have been talking about for a few weeks now. My cute cousin, Landon, used it in one of his lessons at church. We used to babysit Landon, and now he is engaged to be married, and well on his way to being a spiritual giant. Time really does fly.

“When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence. When He answers no, it is to prevent error. When He withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth.”
