This past week Adam and I got to go with the youth in our branch to plant a garden of flowers at a nursing home. At first I thought, "go play in dirt??? Aren't there spiders in there?" Haha my family will understand this one;). Buut, yes. I did muster up the courage to go... Even with the thought that I might possibly see spiders in the ground. But I'm here writing this post to say that, no I did not see any spiders, but I DID see worms. Funny thing though... Somehow because I was wearing gloves I felt protected and unconquerable, like none of the worms or possibly even spiders could scare me. This is a huge improvement for me if you know me. Anyways, after playin in the dirt with Adam and other youth for a couple of hours Adam and I noticed that our gloves were pretty much shredded to bits. I realized after that that I didn't care if I accidentally touched a worm and I certainly wasn't worried if I got dirt under my nails. And then it hit me. I actually enjoyed gardening. I enjoyed playing in the sun. And I enjoyed beautifying the nursing home grounds. I think I might just have to have a garden when I have my own yard someday.. Even if there are spiders;).
