Another slow-ish day, but slow doesn’t mean we had nothing to do. It just means that there’s no frantic pace to get done what we have to do. The lists never end, but a slower pace is very nice at least. Woke up again to gray, but that’s ok. The Weatherman knows just what we need. “Oh how lovely is the morning, When it is begun with God. Joy and faith our hearts adorning, As behooves a child of God. Waking after night so fair, In the Maker’s gentle care. Rising without grief or sorrow To a new and joyful morrow!” (Zion’s Harp #166). Praise God for another beautiful day!
Sleepyheads.
Inside morning because outside was pretty soggy.
Same kind of day as yesterday – sewing projects, laundry, lots of ironing, phonics, piano lesson (Ben this time), blah blah blah. L & J milked, then L to CIT. After lunch I took Jesse to Uncle Randy’s, and Levi went there from CIT to help sort hogs. When I got home from Uncle Randy’s with Sarah, Jewel, and Josh, everybody loaded up and we did a quick but fun trip to Uncle Jerry’s to swim. Home again, nap for Joshua, snack and chores for kids, and I grabbed a walk before the drizzle started. And it didn’t last long [*grin!*], and then we had supper and a wonderful evening outside. The sunshine was so beautiful after so much gray.
Ben’s favorite activity.
Grandpa’s amazing tomatoes.
Our less-than-amazing tomatoes.
If earth is like this, How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.
500.
Seeing how tall Uncle Randy’s corn is.
Ben took the camera…
Littles played some ball too, with Dad and I, then all inside for Bibletime and beds.
“Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me.”
Don't think too poorly of your tomatoes...ours look much worse!
