IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

TIME TO CLEAN THE YARD!

Today when we got home (from me working, and him 'doing his running') we started on the yard. Well, after we ate some lunch. We did get a good deal of the yard around the house cleaned, raked,burning and looking better thankfully!

When you live in the country (especially in the woods like we do) there is always leaves and little branches and twigs and such to clean. Plus where we had been working on the garden, we had added more to the 'mix'. Oh, and Norman took a turn at that ole push mower today. (the old fashioned reel type) but it works really good. And , thankfully we are getting it! THANKS GOD!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did move two of my flowers that were in bad spots.. one was a creeping phlox, and the other was a hen and chick (ha, or maybe a rooster).

I hope they are happier where we put them today : )

And crazy as it is, I watered our tomatoes and peppers. "Just in case it don't rain" Four of our bigger tomatoes didn't take to well to being transplanted, sad to say. No, they aren't dead, but like myself "droopy", I hope and pray that they will come back out and really be happy. They were SO PRETTY!

===============

Thank goodness it's Friday! A few days off don't hurt my feelings in the least bit. We plan on working more outdoors if it's dry enough tomorrow. We are, one of these Saturdays soon going to go to some yard sales, probably and take Nathan and Abigail, they love going too. Won't be long now until school is out, and maybe we can get some things done ; - )

DID YOU KNOW THE

Reasons Why Adam Was The Luckiest Man:

** He is the only man who has never been compared

to the man she could have married.

** He had no in-laws to drop in

.** There were no Jones for him to keep up with.

** There were no credit cards OR shopping centers.

** He never had his dinner interrupted by window salesmen.

** He got away with wearing a simple wardrobe.

** He never had to shovel snow!

** If he had gone bald, who would have known that wasn't normal.

** There was no "standard weight and height" tables -- and the word FAT meant good.

Well folks, I think I am going in there and get a lemon cake in the oven and let it be baking while I am taking my bath, I smell like wood and leaf smoke.. humm, a campfire's smoke. We used to just love going camping, even brought our boys up to camping.. but only Norman and his family likes camping anymore. They are as happy with it as we all were, thankfully. It's a shame not to enjoy all of God's gifts, and nature is one of the biggest! But for us now, we live camping, ha. And are thankful.

Anyway, back to that lemon cake, do you like good home made lemon cake? I love it, and personally I like to put lemon pie filling on as icing occasionally, try it, it's delicious. Not something I would do every time, but it's GREAT for a change.

Just Norman can't have the extra 'sugar', so I try to fix what he can eat.

So maybe you'll have to fix it and enjoy it for me. ; )

ON MY KNEES

There are days when I feel

The best of me is ready to begin

Then they're days when I feel

I'm letting go and soaring on the wind

But I've learned in laughter or in pain

How to survive I get on my knees,

I get on my knees

And there I am before the love that changes me

See, I don't know how but there's power

In the blue sky, I don't know how but there's power

In the midnight, I don't know how but there's power

When I'm on my, my knees I get on my knees,

I get on my knees

And there I am before the love that changes me

I don't know how but there's power

I don't know how but God gives me power

I don't know how but there's power

When I'm on my, my knees

Every time I beg, every time Thank you mama, thank you grandpa

Teaching me to stay on my knees

Yeah, yeah, 'cause every time, every time

That's why You talk to me, that's why You walk with me

You tell me I'm Your own when I'm on my knees

When I'm on my knees, yeah every time
