Just a Daisy in the Meadow

For a Father’s Day gift we wanted Japheth to be able to go golfing . . . So finally here we are . . . We didn’t necessarily plan to go along at first . . .

But here we all are . . . we did a first and rented two golf carts . . .

The children earned a nickel for each golf ball they found in the woods . . . They had a lot of fun looking   . . . and they each had a turn at moving the flag pole . . .

. . . and on to other things . . . Life ya know doesn’t consist of just fun things . . . there’s always laundry to do . . .

Looks like I need to give some lessons on hanging up the laundry . . .  I usually do it all myself cause I find it refreshing . . .

These are my peach poppies . . . Yeah, they almost look like a carnation don’t they?

Hello there . . .  Are ya enjoying your summer?

We’re lov’in it!!!

Of course some days are sweeter than others . . .

This being one of them . . .

Loraine picks flowers every day . . .

It’s just her favorite thing to do!!! 

And of course Lynne doesn’t like being left out . . .

God bless your day with sunshine and daisies and little ones to kiss . . .

Until next time . . . See ya!

Today was a special day in many ways . . .  Loraine found this treasure

We invited Katrina over spur of the moment for a picnic and she helped us start our Sunflower\bean house . . .

So many beautiful greens . . . God’s opening up before us again . . .

. . .  and so many shades of purple and lavender

The strawberry blossoms attracting our honey bees . . .

New kittens to hold and look at  . . .

Fragile beauty . . .  Delicate and pure . . .

Homemade ice cream to savor  at the end of a splendid day . . .  Summer at it’s best

Little ones to love and cherish . . .  Precious gifts . . . straight from God

Okay . . . after all my short, short posts, here’s a long one for ya!

Just pics though . . . 

Can’t get much better than this for a beautiful day!!!!

I had to chuckle yesterday when my four year old daughter informed me that my “Lion Flower” had opened up . . . Ah, yes, the Tiger Lily . . .

My cousin-in-law gave me this one and it’s starting to open up also . . . Anybody know it’s name? . . .

And our budding singer . . . Jaden’s been talking alot more these days, adding lots of words to his vocabulary.  We were traveling down a dirt road to pick up some firewood when Jaden commented about the road “It’s kinda bumpy. it’s kinda bumpy, it’s kinda bumpy . . .” Japheth was praising him on his learning how to say things when Jeremiah the five year old chimed in saying “And Lynne’s been learning how to sing!” . . .  Yeah, I guess maybe you’d think that if you’re five . . .  listening to that tired little baby\girl singsong her cooing noises as she rides along in the van . . . Lynne’s learning how to sing
