Well, my sage seedlings didn't make it. It either got too hot or cold, not real sure. I haven't replanted them yet, however, I forgot to label my seedling containers very well so not real sure what I have started, however, I know its probably some Swiss Chards & I definitely know I have some Coriander started, those are looking nice & healthy. My yard is still a muddy mess, so I'm waiting until April to buy the wood stuff for my beds, I may end up helping my sister make some raised beds so she can have one too, but it'll be up to her. So, I may be working on 2 gardens :) I just can't wait for warmer weather because this fall I plan on canning & pickling things!! I'll be posting recipes, too. I have catnip, (again, had to replant), habanero's, 2 types of lettuce planted again so far. I'll write a better list later on, & they really do great at having the best information on the back of the packets for germination dates. They are for sure right on with timing. Ta-ta for now!

  Tithing is a good book in the Ancient Practices Series. It explains in depth the true nature behind Tithing, and how to do it without getting to detailed with scriptures explaining it, but explains it in the eyes of other Christians, as to their how & why they do their tithing. Tithing book definitely is easier to read from some of the other books in the series, but I'm starting to understand the "behind the scenes" for them all. So far I have the Sabbath, Tithing & Finding Our Way Again, and at first when Sabbath came in the mail, I didn't really understand what he was writing about, then I read the 2nd one I received, Finding Our Way Again, and they're all wrote in similar ways, as far as the theory? goes, but so far its a great series to collect & understand more of behind the scenes of the Christian faith.

The Shape of Mercy, by Susan Meissner
Talk about a great novel! I like the fact that its based on 80% true American history, and 20% fiction. Its about a girl who lived in the Puritian times in America, when it was "new", and kept up a diary of her daily happenings, when the Salem witch trials started, & in time it was passed down in the family, & the current owner has a college student transcribe it since its in old text, & the way Susan words the entire book, lays it out, and has play-by-play, is just great! Its a great book for novel lovers, and history buffs to read.

Divine Appointments, Charlene Ann Baumbich

I started reading this book after I got it, I thought it would be interesting since most of the Christian novels I've read lately were, but this one wasn't as good as I thought it would be from the description. And its another book where it didn't say it was in a novel series set, so unfortunately I missed alot of information that was in the first book. It starts off very slow, doesn't really explain alot of the main character's life the way most do (which is probably why its best to read the first book).
