Grandmother was really good last week. She enjoyed chatting with Timothy, and Courtney may have started singing to her. 🙂 She giggled with us and I polished her fingernails. I never know how she will be from week to week. She gets confused really easily. This week she asked if my grandfather was there. I explained I had never met…

Community Fellowship Reminder- October 8th
We would love to have you! Message me for details.
clearing the yard
Just when I thought it was impossible, our yard is almost completely cleared! After working 11 straight days, he got home late yesterday and started the yard today. He and the boys had tried to break the big debris with a sledge hammer, but in the end, a jack hammer rental was necessary. Everyone gathered in the yard and the…
fall chicks
We’ve been keeping chickens for around 4 years. I love our flock! They do the funniest things, and provide relaxing entertainment on any afternoon. (This picture is so funny….he was watching me to make sure I wasn’t going to get too close to his ladies.) At the moment, we have 25 grown hens. About 5 or 6 are not quite…
here and there
I was happy to visit with my grandmother again yesterday. I told her I was sorry I hadn’t come last week. She responded by saying, “well, I was wondering when we were going to get to that little matter!”. I’m not sure she even realized I wasn’t there, but she did seem glad to see us. If you could be…
my desk
Brace yourselves…. This was my desk “before”. Oddly enough, a good many of these things didn’t belong to me at all- this desk becomes our family “catch-all”. I guess because it sits in the center of our home? It was horrible. It’s taken me a week to clean. Do you hear that?? Angels are singing…I think a miracle has happened-…
today
Courtney starts piano again with our *very favorite* piano teacher. Then, we are heading to decorate my grandmother’s room for fall … I’ve had the basket packed for a week. I did rub these dollar store pumpkins down with some paint this morning… It does a good job of taking off that slick, plastic look! It should be a good…
updates and sharing
We’re SLOWLY cleaning our yard…. It’s been a great deal of work for the family, but it is looking better. Perhaps by the end of the week, all of the small rubble will be gone. We’re still not sure how we’re going to manage the larger pieces. They are very difficult to break apart (impossible, really), with just a sledge…
naming babies
So the big baby naming has started in the Lambert home. It’s still so early in this process…Paul and I usually have friendly arguments for months while we’re waiting for the expected arrival of a new Lambert. In the end, we spend a great deal of prayer on the baby’s name and suddenly it’s there. I’ve been praying. Here’s what…
Composting Chickens
This is a short video on composting with chickens. We give our chickens all of our food scraps, pulled weeds, some raked leaves and hay. We also throw in DRYER LINT! They are incredibly efficient at breaking it all down and come late winter and spring when we are ready to begin working on garden beds we have an abundance…
still sick, but having fun (and a note about fellowship)
Well, as of this morning, Lambert #7 is running a fever and feeling ill. At this point, knowing the duration of this illness, we’re going to cancel fellowship this month. We try to be very careful not to share our germs with all of you. This NOT a bug you want to share. Please continue to pray for our family…
saying good morning
It’s official. Timothy has been sick since 4 this morning. Emma is also sick. She asked at 5 to get into the shower. She’s been in and out of my bed the rest of the morning. She’s following me on and off with her bucket now. ALL of the older folks in the house agree any of us would rather…
