Way Back In June

~ I went for a morning WOG, (that would be a walk/jog, for those non-athletic sorts such as myself) looked up and saw my friends Hot Air Ballooning overhead!  What a strange and interesting life I lead and what interesting friends I have!

~ I went for an evening WOG and saw what I suspect will be the closest I ever come to witnessing the Lord's pillars of clouds and of fire.

~ I decided to make it a point to harvest strawberries and scapes early and often, rather than late and in one fell swoop.  Novel, I know.

~ Adele' looked entirely too grown up for my liking.

~ Judah worked on his TrailLife badges, including the Family Man- in which he made us all meals!  

~ A crinkle eyed girl shot out gladness from the doorway

~ Moses turned into a beetle

~ Promises made preparations

~ I smelled old fashioned roses by my bedside each night that I could.

~ Peonies got some sort of blight which rotted the amazing blossom balls before they bloomed and spoiled most of the flowers...but I enjoyed the ones I got.

~ Judah won Spirit of the Troop in his Trail Life group

~ We tried (again) to rid ourselves of excess nailpolish

~ Corynn's poppies showed off

~ We finally got ourselves a cow again!  Maybe we can start to call ourselves almost-farmers again?

~ We danced 'til we wore out our shoes...and then we danced barefooted.

Three Mamas all celebrated finishing end-of-the-year homeschooling paperwork (and the completion of another year on the books) with porch rocking and sippin' on strawberry daiquiri's.  

Friend time is very rare and awfully special.

~ We celebrated this handsome fella on Father's Day with a honkin' breakfast sandwich.  

(He is easy to please...)

~ Hope unfurled

~ God worked His everyday miracles, as He always does.

~ And I tried my darndest to see them.
