Dirt. They're not making anymore of it. If anything, it's becoming an endangered item. Simple, yet complex. Full of living organisms. Designed by God himself to cover the Earth and sustain the crops both wild and that we plant in it to feed ourselves, others, the animals, the world.
It's a crazy notion, I know, but I am a firm believer that if more people still had their hands in the dirt, our nation would be in a much better spot. Is there a mental health program anywhere that has those struggling out in the dirt? There should be. We have a saying here: Dirt don't hurt.
In fact, it does a wealth of good.
This particular patch of dirt has been in my family for 121 years and I can safely say it has been a garden plot for at least 100 of those years.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow --- for this hand-me-down dirt and all who have helped us keep it that way over the decades and for those few who have helped me keep it a garden for the past 18 years. ❤️
