March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

More Blue

 Last Tuesday we were blessed with more blue skies.



Weather's nicer now so I enjoyed riding with Jewel again.




Then a walk to the lake with Josh and Brandi.




Looking west - beautiful sunset.


Looking north - beautiful home.


Looking east - beautiful moon.


Looking south - to complete the four directions 😎


After supper, Dad & I walked.





And that's about it for another blue spring day.

Burn

 Monday afternoon was another beautiful blue day.


Glad it worked out for Gloria to ride with Jewel while Liz and I walked. 


Later -


Eastern sky was beautiful too as Dad drove back from chopping wood at the lake.


Meanwhile, Levi had invited SJJ over to help burn pasture. All these px are from Sarah & Jewel who, along with Josh, came home smelling like they had been swimming in smoke for a couple hours. But Levi's pasture is nicely burned now; and it can start to come up fresh and green again - hopefully soon!





















I think this was peek-a-boo.






Kids clearly had a blast. Thanks for having them, LEK, and thanks for px, S and J.
