Half The World

We captured the image of this beauty on the barn door at the farm a couple of days ago.

Dear Friends ,
For fear of falling into the second category of people described here by Mr. Frost, I have elected for my blog to remain silent for the past week. There are many things happening in myself and my family, none of which I want to discuss here. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

I have spent several days at the farm, cleaning and moving things out. It seems to be going slower than I want. However, God is in control, not me.

I realize this post sounds blah and I apoligise for that. Please bear with me.

May the Lord bless you all.

Crazy Week

The last week has been quite eventful. I spent three of those days in Dr.'s offices. Two days with my husband, and one with my daughter. I was so scared about my husbands left arm pain, I actually went to work with him one day! They continue to run tests and we are not sure yet what is going on, if anything.

Yesterday was our anniversary! We had a blast going to a far away city for the day together. It was great!

The bulk of the rest of the time has been spent at the farmhouse getting ready for my daughter and her husband to move in. We have burned, many, many, many things. The list includes, mattresses, sectional sofa, dressers, book shelves etc. Many other things are being donated to the local homeless shelter store. Moving all my things out of the farmhouse and incorporating them into my house here is quite a daunting task. We are working against the clock to get the house ready to paint by the week end. I am overwhelmed at the enormity of the project but elated that my daughter will be living at the farm again. After all, it is where she grew up....this precious treasure of mine. I believe it will really help me to not feel so divided. I will be able to entrust the farm to her and focus on the house here. I am in hopes that we will co-raise a larger garden as well as chickens, cows, goats, donkeys, horses and other animals. She is quite interested in this prospect. It will be much easier with her there full time. On the other hand........I AM GOING TO MISS HER!!!!! I love having my children all under my roof. At least it is only 16 miles away and I can be confident she will be safe.

So with these things added to my usual crazy schedule, I don't have time not to pray!!!!! I slept in until 7 this morning and it got me all behind. I have locked myself out of the Farm house, spilled lawn mower gas in my trunk etc. I would go and ly down in my bed and just begin again but........I locked myself out of there too! My husband has keys but he works in the big city in the next county. So I wait. I am grateful that nothing bad has happened today.....just aggravating little things.

Supper is in the crockpot and bread is rising.......I think I will go spend some more quiet time with my Heavenly Father who loves me!

Have a blessed day!
