Magic Bean Plant
Two Sundays ago Arianna and her friends planted magic beans during Worship Center. They are preparing for the start of gardening season and the planting of the Heifer Garden.*
So the beans aren't really magic beans, but the one we have is growing pretty quickly. (I guess that's why it's Jack and the Beanstalk, instead of Jack and the tomato plant.) Here is what the bean plant looks like after almost 2 weeks:
* The Heifer Garden is a tradition at our church. The children's worship center plants and tends the garden. Then they sell the vegetables to people. All the money raised is used to buy animals through The Heifer Project. Last year, they bought a goat.

What a great fundraiser! I'm a big fan of the Heifer Project; in fact, instead of having a party or gifts for my 40th birthday last year, I asked my family to donate money to Heifer.

Great growing there! And, I love the idea of the church raising money for animals. God bless you all....

I'm a big believer in Heifer International. First learned of it 8 years ago from Julie's stepfather-in-law.

I forgot to mention that I love to plant from seed and watch how the plants grow. Perhaps that's why I have 6 six children!
I've always looked upon them as the flowers in my garden.
