When I took my walk this morning, I really wondered where the summer has gone?! The air was cool and crisp and definitely had more of an autumnish feel to it. Hello to making pumpkin cookies and pumpkin pie last week! I must be more ready for fall than I think I am. Hello to […]
Hand-Knitted Farmhouse Dishcloths
When we were in Ohio, we visited my Grandmother. She is almost 92 years old. Earlier this spring she wasn’t very well at all and we really thought she would be in heaven right now, instead of still on this earth. She slowly improved though, till she was no longer just in bed and no longer needed […]
Thoughts on Abundance and Waiting in Line and Jehovah-Jireh
Last night I went to Wal-Mart. And waited in line. First at the pharmacy so I could buy some Sudafed-and I will break in here to state that I wish people would just be honest and do what is right. I get really tired of having to stand in line, show my driver’s licence, and sign […]
Hello School, Games, Life!
Hello to having fun painting magnets from the giveaway mom won! Hello to magnets on the refrigerator and artwork given to me by my six-year-old niece when we were in Ohio! My niece loves to draw and she is very, very good at filling in the backgrounds on her pictures. She gave us several pictures […]
The Blessing and Beauty of Irrigation
We farm one circle, owned by our neighbor’s, that has an irrigation system on it. This system has tirelessly pumped water, both this summer and last. HOT and DRY. I know that fresh, abundant water is a blessing, but these last two years have made that fact even more apparent. Last summer, we watered our lawn […]
Kiddos and Cousins and Lots of Fun Times
Today, I’m putting up pictures of some of the fun things my kiddos enjoyed while we were in the east. They played and imagined hard, most of the time we were there. They did get some sleep, though we never seemed to manage to go to bed very early. We spent an evening with my […]
Hello Monday:Ohio Version
Hello Ohio! It was so fun to get to visit in the summertime again. It’s always fun to see the green grass and beautiful flowers. Even though it’s been dry in the east, it looked pretty, thanks to some recent rains. And doing a happy dance that Kansas got some rain while we were away! […]
Nature’s Art~Mud Drawing
I love the mud drawing that I found on my sidewalk artistically sketched by the elements of nature. It has intrigued me. I think it is beautiful and it portrays an essence of farm and my children. Muddy prints penciled and outlined from the muddy boots that had been dropped there by my son. His sister’s […]
Three Things:Childhood Memories
My husband and I were able to travel to Ohio too, and spend some time plus pick our kiddos up! Three things that I loved watching my children do in Ohio: Play croquet…..Ride rides at the fair I used to go to as a kid…..Run around outside in the cool evenings with cousins and friends HAVING. SO. MUCH. […]
My New Clothespin Apron
I have a new clothes pin apron and it makes me happy. I’d been wanting a new one. My old one had had some issues in the form of some holes that had worn through. It had been very serviceable for many years. I also had this wish for a cute clothes pin apron. Somehow it is more […]
Hello Again…It’s Monday!
Another week! Since I started posting “Hello Monday Happenings”, I am even more amazed at how quickly each week goes skipping by and away and another week rolls into its place to go skipping by equally as fast. Linking up with Lisa for lots of hellos… A few things to remember about this past week…A few […]
Happy Birthday to a Delightful Glow!
One year ago today, I jumped into this thing called blogging! I’d been part of the world of blogging for a long time through reading and commenting on other blogs. But, a year ago today I typed my first blog post and began a journey with my own little piece of this thing called internet. […]
Fueling, Greasing, Checking, Chiseling
One of the mornings, while our kiddos were in Ohio, I rode along with my man to check oil wells and then I dropped him off at his tractor. It worked out well, because I was able to snap a bunch of pictures. Too often, I don’t have my camera when I want to snap away. […]
Lego Creations
There’s this phenomenon of being a mother that amuses me, yet I enjoy it too. It’s that thing where you love the creations that your kids draw, build, or create. You are amazed and delighted in the creations they come up with. (And you think about how smart they are and wonder how they can be your […]
Jumping Into Another Week:Hello Monday
It’s time to chronicle another week. How they fly! This past week has been quiet with my kiddos gone. Yet, I have enjoyed having time with my man, time to do some organizing and sorting, and time, uninterrupted. I have thoroughly enjoyed the pictures that my mother has texted me of my kiddos doing things that […]
Boy Meets Girl
When you are fourteen years old, you don’t think you’re young. You don’t think you’re old. You are excited about life and growing up and being sixteen and having fun with your friends. You have peer pressure to deal with and whether or not you fit in with this group or that group. You feel like life […]
