Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Good Morning.

We got our camera back from the camera doctors and I've been taking quite a few pictures. Papa was playing with the camera the day we got it home and I thought he was just making sure it was in good working order. Later in the day I picked it up to take some pictures and as it turned on it said "Good Morning." in Papa's voice! Gave me a bit of a start the first time. Of course I turned it on and off a few times and showed the kids and we all enjoyed it. Now every time I turn the camera on a smile comes to my face and I remember just how much I love that guy!!

Forgetful Fridays. March 22.

I think everyone who lives in the North has a selective memory. Wait hear me out. I know I have a selective memory.. Every summer/fall/winter I choose to forget how long it really takes for Spring to come to the North. My sister in law posted on FB yesterday that work she planted peas and got some rows ready for corn. Here are some pictures of our place I took yesterday afternoon... about the same time, as it turns out, she was planting peas. 


The yard. 


Looking into the place.


Looking out down the driveway. 


The plow line.. that lump in the middle there is one of my raised beds....


J on a pile of plowed snow.


L on his 'ship' making a railing beside his captains chair.

OH and this is what it looks like in the summer.....Oh I can't wait to see green again!!
