God remembers.

So on numerous occasions I have forgotten to purchase (twice) and plan a spot for forget-me-nots for our Calum Memorial Garden - a garden in our backyard in memory of our son we lost to miscarriage earlier this year. Well, today we went to a memorial burial service provided by the hospital for all the miscarried babies so far this year and each couple that attended received two small packages of forget-me-not seeds:

Oh, they have no idea how special these are to me as I can't help but believe that this was a gift straight from God, and it brought tears to my eyes.

I may forget, but my God does not.

Forget-me-not

For some reason, I can't for the life of me remember anything having to do with forget-me-nots. First, I forgot to purchase some for our memorial garden, so I said I'd have to make sure to save a spot for one when planting. Well.... I forgot! So, once I actually remember this plant, I'll have to find a spot to squeeze it in somewhere.

In other news, yesterday I attempted to measure the areas that I want to mulch (everything, basically) and calculated it out to be approximately 1000 sq. ft. So, to cover all of that area with 3" of mulch, I'll need about 9-10 cubic yards worth. I was about to place an order, but decided to hold off since we don't have a wheelbarrow or cart and there's no way I could effectively spread all of that around without one. So, this will soon be my next yard project.
