Shalom All:

But ... especially those of you who have yards/flowerbeds.  Some months ago I heard about "rain gardens".  Capturing and managing water would make us good stewards of the land The Father has given into our care.

I share the Wisconsin link for such a "garden" BUT I'm sure other states/areas have information for something like this.

As we here in WI begin to enter "winter" ... with less daylight and dormant and/or dead plants/tree ... planning for "spring", even now, fills the mind with joy.
