Blessings. 2 kinds.


Because of no rain, this has been the summer of NO WEEDS.  I was doing the Side Garden the other afternoon and was hot and worn out........and a hummingbird came a flying right around me.  It wasn't like the ones I normally see.  I was standing right in front of the empty hummingbird feeder........I felt really bad.  I fixed it up and hope the hummers will forgive me.



The other day I left a comment on a blog saying I'd like it to rain....and that I'd like to see a hummingbird in my garden.


It's obvious that I can't make it rain...........but I could at least keep the hummer feeder filled up.

I wanted a sweet little hummer to fly through my garden, but there was nothing in my garden to attract one.  You want a lower electricity bill, but keep your A.C. on 65.  You want a flower garden but plant no seeds.  You want line dried sheets to sleep on, but you don't have a clothes line.  You want sweet peace in your home.....but all you do is drip.
Some things just do NOT drop out of the sky.  Some blessings we enjoy come from our own labor.  Some things are cause and effect.
Some are not, and I'm thankful for those things.
(I have seen husbands for young ladies drop out of the sky........and all the while they're thinking their bride fell out of the sky! )
I'm thankful for both..........the rainbow kind of blessings............and the fruit from an effort made............with a package of seeds or a broom!

Good thoughts Mo. Put feet to our prayers. Don't ask for God's protection and then stand on the RR track...there are some things that are just no-brainers.
Keep that Hummingbird feeder full.

(a husband falling out of the sky.....as in popped up from nowhere..... would be a HUGE blessing we have no control over.......like we would a waxed kitchen floor!)

My husband didn't really because I WENT to college for the MRS. Degree. But I know of some men that have fallen out of the sky....

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
