Well it’s time to get the garden ready

It’s the time of year to start getting the garden ready to plant.  I have to till it up real good since it has been disked to break up the clots.  Then after Easter, I’ll start planting.  We always plant a big garden so that we will have plenty for ourselves and also so we can give to those we know of that are having hard times because of the economy.  We have to look out for one another now that so many are affected with job layoffs and so many foreclosures around here.

Of course, we ask for nothing in return and in fact, a lot of the people we help come and help in the garden too.  Some of them have requested to plant some things that they like too so they can help others also.  It has sort of turned into a community garden with a lot of love put into it.  God blesses us every year with a great harvest and it’s good to help those in need no matter if they help in the garden or not.  Our whole nation needs to be looking out for each other more than we have in the past several years and maybe we won’t get in a mess like we’re in again any time soon.

My son already has a job when he gets out

With the economy as bad as it is, I was so afraid that my son would not have a job when he got out or be able to find a job.  Luckily the carnival that he was working for said that they would be glad to have him back.  Now I don’t have to worry that he will end up on the streets homeless.  So very many people that have never been homeless before are now looking at the possibility of becoming homeless or have become homeless because of losing their job and their home too.  Foreclosures are everywhere and it’s not looking like it will get any better anytime soon unfortunately.

President Obama is trying to find new ways to jump start the economy with stimulus packages and bail out packages for banks and major car manufacturers but what about us.  The stimulus package is supposed to help each state create new jobs to ease the unemployment.  I sure hope that it works that way too.  Everyone is suffering to some degree between gas prices raising and falling only to go right back up, groceries costing more and money being stretched farther than ever before and even attempting to stretch it farther than possible a lot of the time.
