They come quietly. Unobtrusively. Popping up and greening up. Growing. Greeting me with surprise. Bringing forth newness and life. Doing what their Creator enabled them to do. Speaking spring. And cheerfulness. So beautiful. They make me smile. And rejoice. Aaah. Violets. Sweet Violets.
Sometimes You Slow Down Whether You Want To Or Not…
There’s one good thing about not feeling well- it always makes me appreciate good health so, so much! We all ended up with colds and coughs by last weekend. It was quite a cacophony of coughing for a few days. My son was pretty much feeling better by the beginning of this week, but he had started with […]
Shingling 101
Yesterday, a new class begun, Right after the schoolbooks were done, Time for Shingling 101! What good helpers! They had so much fun, Laying out shingles, Till the job was done! Up on the roof, Way up in the air, Dragging shingles, Going after nails, Laughter and Chatter, What could be better? Working and […]
It’s Coming Along…
As I upload these pictures and peck away at my keyboard, I am listening to the sound of shingles being laid on the garage roof. It sounds good! My husband is definitely needing to find a stopping point for the time being and move on to some of his projects for the farm. It will […]
My Very Wise Words of Wisdom For The Day Involving Head Colds
1. Head colds are absolutely no fun. 2. That feeling you get when you think you’re going to sneeze and then you don’t? It is very detestable. 3. Listening to other people cough gets old. Coughing yourself gets old. 4. Tired. Of. Kleenex. 5. I would be a very good advertisement for Advil Cold and […]

Big Toes, Coughs, Garage Work
My big toe hurts. It hurts because part of the toenail got ripped and then came off way too far back. Makes for a sore toe. Amazing how something like a toenail can be such a bother. When it’s doing its job and everything’s good I don’t even notice it or think about it being there. […]
We Are Little Builders
This song has been going through my head: We are little builders building block by block, But our sure foundation is the Solid Rock, Not for wealth we’re building, nor for praise of man, But for our Redeemer doing all we can. We are little builders doing God’s command, Not like unbeliever’s building […]
Father and Son
My husband and son = father and son My father and brother = father and son All too soon my son will be walking beside his father and be taller… All too soon.. All too soon….but not yet. Not yet.
Lots of Action
Indebtedness
Have you ever felt totally indebted to other people? I know I have felt very grateful and thankful for people and their kindnesses at different times in my life. But I have never felt as indebted as I do right now. There have been so many people who have stepped up to the plate in […]

Happiness in My Day Today
Things I’m enjoying today… Cleaning my house and getting ready for my family from Ohio to visit! {insert a happy little dance} Having windows open-in March!!! Seriously?! I told my husband last night that this weather feels more like May than March. And more like May than April. It is weird, really. […]
My Basement Kitchen
My kitchen area… This kitchen area doesn’t necessarily have a set of dream cupboards in it, but they work and they are an improvement over the old metal cupboards I had at our old house. Plus, I’m used to mismatched, because our old farmhouse had wooden cupboards for the upper cabinets and metal for the lower. […]
