Beautiful Saturday.....


We were truly blessed today with beautiful weather! The temperatures easily hit 70 today, and at last glance the temperature is about 66. My iPhone died earlier this week, so I borrowed Tim's phone to take pictures of the children playing in the garden.....

Watching the chickens in their yard pecking the ground, or dust bathing.....



Trying to re-attach the garden gate door....all by himself.....
Seeing the beginnings of the rhubarb.....
Or attempting to play ball with the Kipper.....
Some of our potatoes (Yukon Gold's) are planted in the garden, along with some carrots, and onions.  Please, Lord, bless our crops abundantly!

As I was going through the photos on Tim's phone, I came across several that are just a few of my favorites. These pictures remind me of how quickly each child changes, and to cherish every moment with them, for they will be grown and on their own before we know it.  Here are several of my favorites....I hope you don't mind my stroll down memory lane.............
