Mega blocks, and a new back deck….

Sunday Afternoon
Azaleas blooming in the yard. Little girls playing in bare feet in the front yard. Older children laughing in the kitchen. I’ve been walking, and swaying, and doing all the things that are done as you wait for a little one to arrive. My heart is full this afternoon. Life is full and amazing to me. I only want to…
This Season
The past several weeks have been shadowed by illness for our family. It seems each time we are all well, we’re exposed to something else and everyone gets sick. This last one has rounded our family- some as many as three times! It’s been a long, cold winter. I’m thrilled to see spring here. Perhaps sunshine and warm weather will…

There were three sets of eyes staring back at him, (not from the hens). When he realized what they were, it was immediately obvious why we’ve not been finding…
Spring on the Farmette…..
The smell of laundry that has hung on the line ….little girls playing in the yard…. I love spring. There is something of renewal in the air. Time for blooming flowers, little birds hatching, and a picture of God’s unending grace. It’s been a long week for our family. I lost a cousin this week. His unexpected death was painful,…
