All Things Home and Family
It's been a good Monday. All three shirts came through the laundry which seems funny...I washed on Saturday. Apparently I missed these. That's fine, they're good to go again. We're having occasional stove fires now. I love this season. We have the best firewood possible this year. Because it is quite dry or cured as… Continue reading Looks Like Home
Psalm 147: 2-6 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem... Where He dwells with us. He gathers Israel's exiled people... Those we thought lost. He heals the brokenhearted... Even me. And bandages their wounds... He takes time and cares for my details. He counts the number of the stars... He has the tally of the impossible. He gives… Continue reading Notes From The Journal
We wouldn't have to do a post about this; but we have records to keep. I'm pretty sure I have pictures somewhere of when we did this twenty years ago. The troublesome valley above the porch proved to be true to form. The roofers were frustrated and the non-roofers helping were, too. It's just another… Continue reading Roof Repair
Talking all day and into the evening. On and on. While we hiked and explored. In the car. In the coffee shop. Around the living room spa hour. So many selfies and pictures of us posing. I don't know if it is an important thing to do, but life being full of swift transition makes… Continue reading Sisters
Waiting with a lot of other people. Our flight has been delayed. Not enough to cause any missed flights, apparently. Southwest seems to be nicely organized and relaxed. Cheaper, too. No first class and we got to pick our own seats. But there's nothing ordinary about floating along on the clouds, the wisps allowing for… Continue reading Waiting At My Gate
It's a gorgeous day in September. Elv and I are spending Sunday afternoon on the lawn. He's getting a nap and here I am trying to create a decent account of the retreat. The house was full. In fact, they closed the sign up place last week a few days before the event. Two hundred… Continue reading Northland Ladies Retreat 2024
I don't deserve this care and beauty from Jesus, but here it is and I'm grateful.
I make muffins by heart. Sort of. Sometimes I go look things up in the old farm journal recipe book to keep on track with the basics. There are wild blackberries and pumpkin puree with plenty of spice in this batch. I don't remember such a warm fall as this ever before. It's weird and… Continue reading Evening Muffins
What a nice day this was. No particular reason. It was great to get up when I woke up. After giving the day to Jesus and thanking him for all the things, that is. Just before daylight the blue jays, who were apparently roosting right here by the patio, began visiting with each other using… Continue reading Evening Post
The electric went out at two this afternoon. It was pretty relaxing at first. Can't do those dishes, floors will have to wait, and the laundry, too. So who cares, I thought, why not sit down to scribbling or a book. I could actually hear the clock ticking for once. Then it got to be… Continue reading Electricity Dependant
