A walk around our seven acres

This morning I took a long stroll around our seven acres for my own satisfaction. After a crazy weekend of unexpected business I couldn't pass up the late cool moring given to me.  Zerrick very responsibly went down to his Math and Keagan found a book to finish and the other two found the swing and hammock.  And I spent an uninterupted half hour.  Maybe this estate seems messy and overgrown to some people but to me it feels safe and a sweet haven.  And it is messy that's true.  But life is messy when there is so much life to live.  
I started out at the front of the house.  Because that is where we had our coffe this morning, me and the kids. 
There is a trail back to this little dark burrow.  Animals have the best places.  And I felt very beatrix potter finding this spot. 

 
Another little spot for fairy's and littles and creatures. 
My row of zinias and Cosmos turned into mostly a bed of weeds and cosmos.  I'm embracing the green. 
Curious nasty little goats.  They intently watched me come through the brambles and past their pen.  And then they softley baaed a greating.  For real.  Goats are funny. 
The boys have a well worn trail going through the back of the seven acres. 
This color is called Joy. 
I found a  whole tee shirt sack full of eggs.  Some of them from a hidden nest.  I heard loud protests from that steal. 
It they'd all just lay them where they belong. 
I have tomoatoes .  A lot of tomatoes.  A jungle of tomao plants.  I'll show you.....
More.  
The jungle is just on the other side of the sweet corn. 
More well worn trail. 
Old ford stuck in the weeds.  


Matt and the boys are working on a fence....slow but sure progress....
What a good life they live. 
A low growing carpet of weeds in the  woods. 
and here's the jungle I was talking of ....
Proud rooster....
Misc day lillies popped up unexpectedly and I kind of like them.
Happy  color. 
grumpy little hen kindly giving me eggs every day. 
My strawberry plants have been blooming all summer.... am I suppose to be doing something to make them grow and spread?
Popcorn.  Keagan and Mathias' pride and joy.  
We have pepper plants and peppers.  And body need any? 
Life of a mom of boys! 
Over grown messy pot of plants that make me happy. 
My joy color again.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
