I wonder if that will grow here?

I think it takes a sandy soil.

Lots of vineyards in Fredricksburg too.

Our soil is black clay up here.

God makes a great canvas but it takes a mans hand to paint it.

On the other end of the spectrum is sunflowers

Who couldnt see Gods hand in that? They crane their heads around to follow the sun.

Amazing
