Basil in MY Garden

Today's Unspeakable JOY is simple.  It's basil growing in my garden. About 5-7 years ago, I fell in love with homemade bruschetta.  For years, I've made it with either the basil from my mom's garden, or I've bought it at the grocery store.  It's sooo expensive for such a small amount...it makes the bruschetta a very expensive thing to make!

Well, this year, I am living in this wonderful house that has a garden area with raised boxes for veggies.  John helped me to plant the basil....and by "helped," I mean he did it for me.  Ha! Now, I have the JOY of being able to go out and pick basil anytime I want!  It's wonderful!  So simple...and yet...so powerfully JOYFUL! Thank you, God!  I am very grateful for this little thing in my life that brings me such incredible JOY!
