Zeke has been so clingy, and it was a lifesaver.<br /><br />And, um, I'm still looking for any evidence of canning mess. "If only my house were so orderly." <br />Pish! I see clear floor space! :)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030527178801056471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-35764195830814939272013-08-15T21:17:29.911-05:002013-08-15T21:17:29.911-05:00Your photos have been so beautiful lately :) Look...Your photos have been so beautiful lately :) Looks like you've been as busy as me, just in different ways! :) Hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!! :)Full of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731302203793957663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-48819706133906110942013-08-15T18:10:08.946-05:002013-08-15T18:10:08.946-05:00My husband was so busy when he was little (yet he ...My husband was so busy when he was little (yet he has NO IDEA where Ella gets it) that my MIL used to let him ride his trike in the kitchen too.

One of my favorite color combinations! And we used to allow the tricycle in the house thing too for my youngest son. One day, he came racing towards me with a pink bandana over his head and his 9 year old brother pushing him from behind shouting "turn right!" just before he hit me. Then he was headed down the hallway and I hear my older son shout "turn left!" just before they hit the wall. I asked, "What are you doing?" My oldest said, "Mom, it's just directional lessons. I'm teaching him his left and right!" Good times! No walls were ever damaged and he did learn his right from his left.Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-65180313110718951012013-08-15T14:15:17.864-05:002013-08-15T14:15:17.864-05:00Bonnie- rats!

Every time a year like that is had, I think it is humbling to realize we have VERY LITTLE to do with a successful garden. The Lord has everything to do with it because in a moment, the whole thing could be ruined. Also- it always makes me eternally grateful for the fact that we don't have to rely solely upon our own foodstuffs to survive winter and, in the case of a bad year, there is still always the grocery store. Imagine the stress of having a bad year when that was IT- all the food that you were to eat. As for the table- that was the kitchen table here for decades, so I can't really take any credit for it. I love the stenciling- hate the watermarks (that *I* did! oops.)<br /><br />Mary- it will be making an appearance soon. So far, the canning I am doing hasn't really required a lot of space. It is more cut and fill and can.<br /><br />When the tomatoes and apples come though- WATCH OUT! ;-) I may even break it out for the cukes because...well, they are burying me alive!<br /><br />Christina- thank you! I had to put my foot down when Corynn and Andrew asked if they could bring THEIR bikes in. That was a different story altogether!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-66623707284039503492013-08-15T14:04:40.867-05:002013-08-15T14:04:40.867-05:00Such nice pretty bits.

I'm going to have to buy beans (probably) and tomatoes.
