Seriously, have you ever tried to take a picture of a honey bee with a 10 mile per hour wind on a tender lavender plant? Well the struggle was real people! The coolest thing, while I was out weeding the lavender beds I noticed bees still doing their bee thing and you know I had … Continue reading Pics & Bees
Shame filled my heart…
A few nights ago I came face to face with my past. A past that was so far off in the distance I had imagined it would never return to my present. I was wrong. Why had it returned? Why now? I'd like to tell you have the complete answer for that, but I do … Continue reading Shame filled my heart…
Busyness!!
It's been too long!! Sorry for not having posted sooner. My husband has been out of the country and while my kids are older it's just not the same with him gone. All the things we do together I have to do all by myself. Poor me, right?! Also, just keeping things going on the … Continue reading Busyness!!
It’s Not Dead!!!
Oh my goodness!!! I was so excited this morning when I walked outside to see this... I know, it's another sunflower and to you that may be all it is, but that's not at all what I saw. I saw a sunflower that had been transplanted a few weeks and although I had watered it, … Continue reading It’s Not Dead!!!
What Are You Wearing Today??
School started back up for us this week and I really wasn't ready. However, 2 days in and it's going well. We homeschool, and we have 2 children. Pretty small for a homeschooling family, but perfect for us. Nathaniel is in 11th grade (how is that possible), and Sophie is in 6th grade. We typically … Continue reading What Are You Wearing Today??
Pruning Lavender…
You may thinking this is going to be a highly technical post all about the finer points of pruning, not! I'm actually quite a novice at this whole pruning thing, but I did learn a little something while I was busy pruning our little Lavender plants. We have about 50 Lavender plants and hope to … Continue reading Pruning Lavender…
Oh, the Process!!!
You know, we always hear people say things like, "enjoy the journey" or "life is a process" and both of those are good, but do you ever just want to act like a 2 year old having a tantrum and stomp your feet saying, "I don't want too!" I'm shaking my head at myself, because … Continue reading Oh, the Process!!!
Almost Missed It…
You see this bowl of potatoes? To most it looks like a bowl full of dirty potatoes, but to me it represents something I almost missed... Back in the spring as we were preparing our raised garden beds for planting I noticed a few sprouts that I thought were weeds and they were about to … Continue reading Almost Missed It…
Barn Sales & Junk…
Taking a deep breath, literaly, as I begin this post... We finally decided that this week was the week we could squeeze in a barn sale. You'd think this wouldn't be such a big deal, but I'm dreading it. Really I just don't want to face the junk that I've allowed to pile up in … Continue reading Barn Sales & Junk…
What’s in a Cloud??
Well, the obvious answer is water... But I'm talking about in-depth, what's in a cloud. It's been dry here in SW Michigan and HOT! That's not a complaint just a fact. When you spend so many months on the cold and cooler side you start to melt when temps get to the mid 80's and … Continue reading What’s in a Cloud??
