Building a Stone Cairn


The sound of water gently trickling over a bed of stones. The smell of rich earth mixed with fallen leaves and branches. The feel of damp air in the cool shade of the trees. The warmth of a patch of sunlight reaching down through the tree tops.  "Let's erect a cairn as a marker to commemorate how special this place is to us, this place we call Maple Grove. Let's erect it to the glory of God and give thanks for all His blessings."

The seedlings that I started indoors had matured, and the danger of frost was behind us. It is time to plant!!
