In Our Wardrobe {No. 32}

One of my favorite necklaces {It’s from Raising up Rubies. You’ll have to Google. I’m too lazy to go link it right now. Or I’m pretty sure I linked to it in another of my Wardrobe posts.} with a favorite shirt layered over a tee and finished off with this versatile vest that I’ve MeNTioNeD before!! Good ole denim for everyday. Jean skirts pair easily with a lot of stuff.

I’m wearing Turquoise Tranquility.  We have a whole bunch of new styles and items at Lilla Rose if you didn’t see my post on Tuesday. Check it out if you’d like.

Our Grace Like Waves Giveaway ends in a few days.

There’s a fun story over at Wren Writes, starting here in this post.

I thought this was a really inspiring list of tips for marriage.

It’s Fervent Friday! Let’s band together, Prayer Warriors.

I did some nesting and lightening up the house for summer.

I think I first heard those terms from The Nester. She talked about cozying the house for winter and putting away layers and lightening up for summertime. I’d done these things over my years as a homemaker, but I’d never had a label for them. I like her names for it!

I’ve had some achy days and some “stiff and sore” lately. I’m not sure why. Well, I do know one day I had probably tried to do too much. I’m trying not to be complainy. I rather want to be. I really do want to be! I kinda do!

{I’ve also been exclaiming to myself “in threes” thanks to Giddy-Up Eunice and Martha. And thinking thoughts in my head or saying things in threes to my daughter or texting my sister. Because it’s fun! It really is fun! It’s just all kinds of fun! And because at my most comfortable and my best self and with my best people, I so relate to this joy and delight with life and situations and things. I totally love Martha. And now, you will have to read Giddy-Up Eunice, so you understand what I’m talking about. 🙂 I’m helpful like that.}

I have good days and I’ve completed some small tasks and tackled a few things that I hadn’t for a really long time. Funny, how you don’t realize something, until you realize it! Ha! So many little things that I hadn’t done, because it hurt. Part of my brain just thought I was “that lazy”. {I can be lazy.}

Anyhoo, when I DO get stuff done, I’m so happy and it makes me long to just feel really, really good. It has made me sway harder towards complaining and throwing up my hands and saying, “I’m SO tired of this!” But then I remember that I AM slowly gaining and I am SO glad I can walk and in it all I’ve had hope and comfy pillows and medical help easily accessible.

ALRIGHTY. That’s my bit of sob story for now.

In other happy-de-dappy news, Chick-Fil-A has a new app for your phone. If you download it by June 11, they will give YOU a free sandwich! Hooray!!! Bring on the Chikin!!!

They hauled sand and dumped on our road this week. {The County, not Chick-Fil-A.} When I walked, it was like walking on the beach. Except….not. Some of my friends are in the Outer Banks right now and I’ve seen some of their pictures and it looks so fun and familiar and I’m so glad they could go.

I set out for a walk last evening a little later than I intended and dark was gathering as I headed back. About halfway back, what should pop out of the wheat field, but a SkA-Nunk!!!! WELL. That slowed down my pace considerably. I waited patiently for him to cross the road and disappear into the other field of wheat. He crossed the road. Then began to meander slowly along the ditch. AND he was between me and my house. He sniffed and walked and was very rude and mean. He didn’t care AT ALL that he was completely ruining my lovely walk. I didn’t want to try to go around him. Because. Duh. That just didn’t seem too smart.

I began to wish I carried a pistol with me. As if I could hit the broad side of a barn. Or the slim side of a skunk.

Then the bugs began to buzz around my head. I thought, “Oh, great! This is really how I wanted to go out. Attacked by bugs and sprayed by a skunk.” Mean skunk. Causing so many problems for me. He continued to meander. Apparently he’d done enough wandering IN the field for now and thought the sideditch-less-traveled was better.

I began to pray a little prayer that my knight in shining armor {a.k.a as my farmer man} would start to miss me and perhaps raise a search party.

Skunk continues on. Me in hot pursuit. Keeping Back Quite A Few Paces. {So much for the benefits of a vigorous walk.}

We were approaching the farm. Hark! What did I hear? Behold. A pickup truck engine rumble. Yes! Pulling into the farm.

About this time Mr. Skunk finally decides to get his move on. He gallops down the center of the road.

I pick my feet up and put them down and I reach the edge of the farm and slip quickly in between the fence and the cedar tree row! There’s my knight! Locking up for the night.

I reach his side and spill out my story about the mean-skunk-who-ruined-my-walk and my need for a rescuing knight. No white horse needed. A white, three-hundred and fifty horsepower GMC pickup will do quite fine!!

That’s about all I have today.

The wheat is TURNING………harvest is hovering!!!
