A Rose, is a Rose, is a Rose

Have you ever had one of those, terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days?

I had one this week...

or it was until I came down to find this on my kitchen table. :D

Thanks mom!!!

Now I just have to figure out where to put it. :D

A Flower Garden

Look here!!

I'm so excited!

My one little Dafodil bloomed!

And see those little green seedlings? Those will be widflowers!

I bought a box at the doller store for $2 not expecting anything to come of it, and just look here!

*Mini squee*

Ain't it awesome!

I've been working like a trojan out there pulling and burning, trying to make it beautiful. and I think it's really coming along!

Spring has Sprung!!

I know I keep showing pictures of these little cucumbers, but I'm always so amazed by the changes I see each week! But also, I walked out into my little garden, and found that the dafodils I planted two years ago have begun to bloom!!! Nature never ceaces to amaze me! Just when I think something is dead, it grabs hold of me with this life! Have a lovely week!

Garden update

Well, we got things worked up a bit yesterday, and I thought I'd let you see how my little seedlings are coming along.

I did end up transplanting the cucumbers, and everything is doing a lot better now that I've been putting it in the natural sunlight, and not under the 100 watt light I had before.

Anyways, enjoy!

Farm Life

A few months ago I left you with a cliffhanger post… And I’m afraid it’s still going to be. I’ve sadly become a bit of a perfectionist on it, and I want to take my time on it and make sure it’s good. :D
I figured though, that I’d catch you up on a few things that have been going on around our little farm. I am proud to say that it is now well on its way to becoming a working farm again!
As of a few weeks ago, this was our garden. There are peas, radishes, Onions, heirloom beans compliments of the G. family. ;D, and cabbages. Since then we have harvested the radishes and really need to get the peas up. We had a few terrible bouts of hail that did some serious damage to everything. The younger plants made it through okay, but the peas look terrible… And we’ve had a problem with things being way too dry… So we’ve been hauling water and struggling to make sure the newly planted things make it.


Look at the eerie mist that came up off the ice!!
But to me, every struggle is a learning experience. It’s such a wonderful feeling to work hard for something and finally reap the result of a full larder! I can’t wait to start canning and freezing!!
Now we have added Tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes
Secondly are my new babies. There is no greater joy to someone who doesn’t have children around to enjoy, than watching animals grow.
These guys were so curious about my camera!!

They’re not quite full grown, they still peep. :D But it sure has been a pleasure to see them mature to this from the little fluff balls we bought back in late April. God’s creatures always amaze me. These little ones could "talk", and walk, and run, from the moment they hatched. Can you imagine what kind of instincts God put In them from the start? And with just a few words?

To say the least, these past few months have been an absolute blessing!! I know these opportunities I’ve had are teaching me to be the best wife and mother I can. Sometimes I still struggle to make myself get up in the morning, but once I do, and I can start doing my chores, everything just seems to get better.
Everything seems to be going right, especially true when my hands are dirty.
I have a few more posts in the works, and I hope to get them out to you in the next few days, if not it’ll be the next few weeks. You see, it’s a 30 minute drive to my library and with gas prices the way they are, we’re having to be really careful and stick close to home. I Really miss blogging and I can’t wait until I have internet at home again so I can catch up with everybody here!
Until then!! Much Love and Huggs!!

The Best of Lovers!

Well... I missed Valentines... Which is sad seeing as it's my Holiday...

But I wanted to say, I had the best of days! Instead of feeling lonely and wallowing in my singleness, as I was cleaning the yard, I found that God had left me a gift!

FLOWERS!

They haven't bloomed yet, but what a day to discover them!

Who knows better how to love than Christ Himself?

Needless to say, I wasn't sad or lonely any longer!

Happy Valentine's All,

I hope spring is jumping fast on your heels as it is here!

~Love Meggie
