  • 17 weeks!  I still haven't really "popped," but I'm proud of the tiny little baby bump I have--first time mommy speaking here :)  Sari snapped some pictures while she was here because my family was begging for some, so I thought I'd share them with ya'll  too  :)  Have a blessed day!

    I can hardly believe harvest is already almost at its end!  It's been a good summer, full of blessings from my God: 

         --an excellent harvest crew!

         --having my brother Arlin out here all summer...

         --Sari coming for a week and a half...

         --lots of fun times with my wonderful extended family, the crew, and my siblings...

         --God's protection when so many things could've happened...

         --a growing baby :)

    Seems like every day I see new colors...kinda like Paradise is unfolding before my very eyes...Except now Paradise needs some weeding and pruning :/ :)  I'd better get busy!

  • The Place We Call Home...

    We bought this old trailer that I have come to LOVE.  I'm having so much fun painting and fixing it up inside.  And the other really fun part is that the older couple that had lived here before us loved plants and flowers, so the landscaping all around the property is absolutely beautiful!  It's so much fun to keep seeing new things pop up, and shrubs and bushes come alive with color...There was quite a bit of work to get everything back in shape, but we felt absolutely blessed to move into a place like this.  It's become my little haven...coming home is always so much fun :)

    I was just at the greenhouse today with two of my sister-in-laws and bought annuals to plant in some of the empty spaces...I think flowers are among the most beautiful parts of God's creation.  Just seeing the intricate design of a hundred very different kinds amazes me, and makes me think how very very much my Father must care about me if even the flowers get so much detail and care! And then from the vibrant bright colors to soft gentle colors; from the big wavy shapes to the small dainty shapes; from the great big bushes to the long slender stems of flowers...We have a very creative Maker!

"In this life, some things are bound to change~one thing remains the same~we all need love~time goes by~moves like a hurricane~thru all the wind and rain~we all need love~as this world just keeps on turning 'round and 'round~there are treasures to be found~if we just let compassion lead the way... chorus: draw back your bow~let love go~shoot straight for the heart~with all of your might set your sight~take aim from the start to love God~love people~that's the center of the mark... every day thru what is and is to come~when all has been said and done~we all need love~so Jesus came~gift from the heart of God~He gave us His life because~we all need love~and the love that death could not keep in the grave~is alive in us today~so we must live to show the world the way... for the world is the target~and the arrow is the cross~as we set out on this journey~let's obey the call from the heart of God~let us love at any cost..."
