A Special Day

I awoke to see something on my pillow.  Oh just a towel left there the night before...or so my foggy brain thought.  Then as I sat up and the juices began to flow and the foggy brain began to function it was discovered that this was no towel...but this....

Chief had cut them and placed them there in the early morning hours before I woke. What a miracle. It was not even Mothers Day.

Special Time

I had the most wonderful evening last evening!  NRJ planned to take me out to eat...to celebrate a late  Mothers Day and the end of a semester  for them.

We debated on the location for this special event...and chose a place that has become a favorite spot because of its variety to choose from, as well as being a close to home location. We talked, laughed, took a few pictures and enjoyed our fellowship and food.  I treasure these times as I know that these moments will become rarer as time marches on and they become more independent.

 I am honored to be my kids mom. 

Today

Chief was canceled from work today.  Often it means more stress and rearranging of schedules to fit his choice of schedule and sometimes even cause meltdowns within the family...but today I asked him to come work with me in the garden...and he did.  It was a blessed time together.  We mainly weeded, but it helped both of us focus on what the rest of the day would be like.  It helped the kids get some studies accomplished without interruption.  Now he is working on taking some branches and logs away from a tree that fell during a storm we had a few months ago. We even found a small handful of green beans to steam for lunch.  God is good.

Land and Property

My Chief has 3 brothers, who have put together money to purchase property.  Their first investment was a home that they have had rented out.  They almost have the home paid off, and went on to another venture.   One of the wives was in contact with a Realtor that showed them this property of 200+ acres of farm land.. Papers have all been signed, and it is now officially owned by the brothers.
Don't know what this means for the kids and I yet...maybe a big garden...or 4 wheelin' or camping or ignoring it...

Picked...Fresh

This morning while I was walking around outside, talking to my mother, wishing her a Happy Mothers Day, I happened to glance down into the zucchini bush...and found...

something to pick right now!

A Peek Around the Yard

This is what the sky is like today..not a cloud anywhere!

The tomatoes are getting bigger..

And we will get to pick a zucchini soon.

Seems like everything else is taking its slow sweet time growing...except the weeds!

So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.
