Things We Have An Abundance Of…

Peaches…again…and for as long as we can get them. Today may just be a jam day. We’ll see.

T-shirt yarn to make some lovely projects with–you’ll see…very soon!  :}

Pine cones…they’re everywhere! We gather them up and do our noble best to save them as fire-starters–but they just keep coming back. Do you suppose they grow up from the concrete?

Firewood—since that mighty wind came along and huffed and puffed and blew the fence down. Thank goodness for the strong and sturdy fellows that gathered and stacked it all.

Blueberries…by the busload, whipped into so many lovely things–stay tuned.

Pretty girls with watering cans to help our thirsty garden. Tomatoes are still sleeping–what is going ON?

Finger puppets from WeeKnit–and we haven’t even gotten out our Halloween and Christmas ones yet! HA! Obsessive you say? I haven’t begun to be obsessive…yet!  :}

Blue Jays–you know, the huge, bossy, squawking kind that chase all the other birds away and fill their mouths up with sunflower seeds and fly away somewhere else to shell and eat them. Silly things.

The tail end of our gorgeous summer flowers–showing off, I suppose, one last time before they sleep for a while.

What about you on this lovely day–what do YOU have an abundance of?       

{ True Strength }

 “I have always found that when we do the little things correctly, the Lord gives us the strength to accomplish big things… You might not always understand the reasons for some rules or commandments, but if you will follow them even in the little things you will have more strength to do big things… And you will have the great blessing of knowing that you are on the Lord’s side and that He is on yours.”

–Donald L. Hallstrom

Happy Birthday Lyndi!!

Chompy Dolittle

While Mommy was getting a few errands finished today–Chompy and I strolled down to the pet store–where she B-lines it straight to…the kittens. She loves them and this little guy loved her right back–through the glass.

I told her this little puppy was called a “Pug,” and she said, “I can like a Pud.”

She was a bit braver than I am about all the aquarium critters–that creep me out. She stuck her face right up there by a 90 foot Salamander. Blaugh…

Turtles are better…but still…I’m going to hang back here a bit.

Now we’re talking. Chompy and I love birds and this little blue lady was amazing. I always have this overwhelming urge to open all the cages and shout, “Fly…fly!”

But so far…I’m not brave enough…

to spend the night in jail.

These four baby love birds were so adorable all huddled together and timid.

This seems to be where we came in—doesn’t it? Chompy and her kittens. She said we need to come back tomorrow or the kitty would miss her and cry.

Of that…I have no doubt.
