Found this old photo of Jamie. I just couldn’t resist.

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. – Psalm 127:1-2

We had our first rain since we’ve been living here, and you’d have thought we opened a water amusement park. We are thankful that God drops free water out of the sky just because He loves us.

It’s not the same as my old view, but think I can get used to watching a deer come up for water in the middle of my work day.

And yet we’ve had that “worth doing right” drummed into our heads for so long, we’re afraid of doing something new lest we make a fool of ourselves or have a flop.

I came unglued when Jamie pointed and told me to turn around (I was expecting a scorpion – yes, I’m still a bit jumpy). When I collected myself, I found this HUGE 6 inch Walking stick on the window. Nature study is going to rock in home school this year!

Jamie saw the first turkey he had ever seen on this ranch. It came up close to the house all by itself. I ran in to get the kids so they could see it too. It was fun to watch my turkeys spot a turkey.

and from ancient times things not yet done, saying,
‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

Right before bed tonight I saw a fly run into this web. The kids were thrilled to watch the spider immediately spin it up tight until Abbey began to feel sorry for the fly. I love her tender heart but really? Compassion on a fly?
