I love this new watering rhythm and inviting Bentley along to tend to and steward these new plants with me. Just today the rain poured for a moment and I told Bentley that God was helping us water the plants and making them beautiful and she said, "yes" and we thanked God.
Sidenote: The watering can you see Bentley using is one that I purchased when I was pregnant with her but before I knew what we were having. I secretly wanted a girl, but didn't want to tell anyone. And in case we were having a boy at the time, I didn't want my heart to be sad if it wasn't a girl. Anyway, I had a moment in Fred Meyer where I just felt teary-eyed and thought of moments of watering the garden with my daughter someday... so in my pregnant-emotional state, I bought this watering can.

The sweetest part about this post is that you splurged on a watering can. A watering can! :) I think most moms-in-waiting buy pink shoes, or striped tights, or ruffled dresses for their hoped-for girls. But a watering can is WAY more fun! I LOVE it that you can now tend to your garden with your little girl. She is so precious!
Do you think the deck will grow too? :) Great pictures and I KNOW Bentley has got to love tending the garden with you just as much as you love sharing it with her.
