So after constantly moving around my yard and being up and around, I have often thought, I'll slow down on a "rain" day. Today was that day. It wasn't rainy. Just chilly. (Keep reading, my day was actually busier than I planned! :) I'm so anxious about planting my veggies in the garden and green house, but after last months jump and then quick death of all my plants, I'm not so sure I want to jump again. I want them to live to thrive, so I wait patiently. The chickens are doing well. One week and they are doing well, eating growing and seem generally happy. I'm happy with that and say a prayer daily for them to lay eggs. Funny the things I worry about, when I just went through the hardest year of my life. I guess I just want life so bad, in everything. I'm composting and recycling, growing and nurturing. Cancer did this to me, and I have to be thankful. I know rough, cold, rain days will come, they have to. To strengthen us, to grow us. And I say, bring it on. BRING IT ON. (I have stuff to do inside on rain days, just like I have stuff in my heart and life I have to work on.) Blessed and love you, love me, love you, love me.
AhH! Life outside with my kids this evening! Okay, okay lets rewind a
bit... Woke up took Bill to work, kids to school. Came home chores
(laundry, dishes) started putting the fence up around the coop, decided
to wait on Bill. Let the chicks out for a couple of hours whilst a
worked a little. School out early for my kids but I thought I would give
my neice and nephew Margaret and Joshua a surprise, because my plan was
to pick them up early from school and take them to pick up ducks. I
didn't get to do that so, what's the next best thing? Lunch from
McDonalds that you can eat during regular lunch. Remember those as kids?
My family rarely got those. My dad worked up north and my mom being
blind it wasn't the easiest thing for her to get. ( She made the BEST
pita bread though! Kids and teachers asked for it at school!) So I took
my other kids lunch. Then picked up mine, We ran some errands heard
about the excitement of the next school year, still can't believe my
baby boy will be going into 7th grade next fall! WHAT? Brought the kids
home, went to pick up Bill. Came home for dinner, Moose meat with gravy
over rice yum! After dinner put the fence around the coop and then off
to a campfire. At one point I found just myself and the kids. I smiles,
so happy to have the three of them to myself. We chat about school,
friends, whatever. And we cook marshmallows and s'mores. We talk about
ants and Minto and growing up. I asked about the summer before and if
daddy did this alot with them. Yes, he did, especially at the end of
summer. I ask if we'll be tired of s'mores in August. "NO WAY!" vows BJ.
Well we'll have to wait and see, but I doubt I could ever forget no
less be tired of campfires and smores with my 3 beautiful kids...
