Just talking

DH is headed for teacher training for five days , home for the weekend and then back for five more days. We are spending this early morning just being together and talking. Its been wonderful! We went up to school to get some things he needed and just enjoyed being together. God has blessed me with a wonderful man!

A hot one...

Today has been hot, very hot. I have puttered here and there and am working on a supper for my sister and brother-in-law. They will be hot and tired and I want to refresh them so they can go home and rest. Tomorrow is the big Folk Festival that they are in. DH rototilled the garden spot again and I am hoping to plant more spinach. I think late planting will mean harvesting in cooler weather. Sounds good to me.

H and I talked money today. We will go in a different direction. It will take work and perseverance but we can do it. With God's help.

Slow...tight

Worked overtime today to take it easy. Ten minutes moving, twenty minutes sitting. It worked. I was able to be productive and keep my breathing easy. I made a great lunch. I got the wash done and I finished one apron. I cut our four aprons and worked very slowly. Its a different approach but I felt good about it.

DH went fishing early and then he went out again this evening. I am glad he can get so much fishing in. God is so good.

I love the color blue. I am so pleased with this delphinium.

Consider the lilies of the field they toil not, neither do they spin...yet you Heavenly Father...

come buy..without money..everything's free( Isaiah 55)

Saturday. Yard sale day. Limited funds. Trying to not think about. But my Father knows my needs. Today there was a yard sale where everything was free. No money needed. Wow.
I got a couple of skirts, a sweater and a top. Thank you , Father.

I forgot to pick up DH's blueberries today and tonight My sister called and said to check in the field. Blueberries come about the tenth of August. Tonight I picked a cupful. Enough for breakfast. Enough. Give us this day our daily bread. Thank you, Father.

Abba Father

The Lord has impressed upon me His role in my life, lately, as my Father. Abba, Father. One who dearly loves me. One who understands me. One who wants to help me. I am slowly, ever so slowly, catching on.

Good days


These are the good summer days that can be gone through slowly and deliberately. My DH took off for fishing when a neighbor arrived at our door at 7AM. DH had just gotten up but within 5 minutes was out the door. I hope he can get in as much fishing as possible this summer. It's an activity he enjoys and it is time he had that kind of leisure. I remember the many years of farm- filled summers when there was all work and no play.

I saw this fawn yesterday, running down route 1 as fast as his little legs could carry him. What a treat.

This beautiful fledgling was in our yard today.He was born in the eaves of our barn and his mother was urging him to fly and find his own food. More pictures on my other blog...

I can breathe again...



I can breathe today. It feels great. I have enjoyed being outside and taking pictures.

Hope

The verse I wrote last post gave me hope. The hope was in God. It has changed my view of the work to be done this week. God alone, is my source. God alone!

Beginning of a new week...Sunday.


The week has come and gone with the craft show in Houlton finished. I didn't sell any dolls and I am disappointed to say the least. DH has been encouraging and has pushed me in the direction of doing this for a hobby. I seem to think I need to make a "killing" financially so he'll be pleased. He isn't sending me that message at all, it is coming out of my own head! I need so much to relax and let God lead me. It is so hard to release control.

Doing nothing...

Tired. Achy. Headache. How long? How long? I don't feel really bad but....I don't feel really good. I have such diminished energy. I need to just get moving!
