Since my new gardening book was out kind of thought this bit of humor was in order.

A farmer purchased an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields
were grown over with weeds, the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences were broken down.  During his first
day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man’s work, saying, “May you and God work together to make
this the farm of your dreams!”   A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the farmer.  Lo and behold,
it’s a completely different place.  The farm house is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there is plenty
of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted
in neat rows.  “Amazing!” the preacher says. “Look what God and you have accomplished together!”
“Yes, reverend,” says the farmer, “but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!”
