Merry Christmas!

Welcome back! I know it's been a couple of weeks since my last post. We've been rushing around trying to get so many things ready for the holidays. 
Sometimes, I do feel like the above picture, like I'm too overwhelmed to be bothered by the crash and burn. Can you relate?

Merry Christmas
From our family to yours, we wish you a very merry Christmas!

Coming to the End of a Year

 Can y'all believe another December is knocking at the door? I can't. Some days feel like they drag on and on. But come the fall/winter holiday season and the days fly by faster than you can blink! I'm almost ready for Christmas, though, and much further ahead than I was last year. I'm actually excited and looking forward to Christmas this year. Last year, I was just functioning and struggling to adjust to annoying life changes. I think we all were to some extent.  via GIPHY (I love Godzilla. And while this guy survives no matter how he lands, I sometimes struggle. What about y'all? Godzilla fans? Strugglers? 😅) I'm not going to keep you a long time today. We started Geometry today and Ro is enjoying it, as I kind of expected. For some reason, if you struggle in Algebra in our family, Geometry tends to be your friends. I don't know how that makes any kind of sense, but it is what it is. 😄 A Breath of Hope And now for a breath of hope from the Bible...  Th...

Welcoming the New Year - 2022

 Welcome back to the blog! I've been contemplating how useful (or rather how not-so-useful) my latest posts have been. Since it seems I've been running out of things to share and no one else in our family is really on board with this, I am either going to drop my posts back to once a month and have this go out more like a newsletter, or just drop it entirely. More on that... New Year, New Challenges Everyone, or most people, make resolutions they seek to carry out over the course of the coming year. I don't usually do that because my goals are always the same: feed my relationship with my Lord, glorify Him with my life in all ways, help those around me who have a need.  This year, our family is starting out with a challenge. John is part of a group study called Soul-con which encourages men to be who they were created to be in the Lord, mind-body-soul. There is a program for women that purports itself as the same sort of thing. However, the study the men participate in goes...

Summer is Upon Us! - June 7, 2022

Welcome back! Looks like I missed last month's post. I don't even know what happened. However, we've had to add kitten care to our usual busy schedule. So it could've been me just adjusting to the new norm.  Gardening Update I've got a few things to share with you today. First, our garden that was so beautifully green just a month ago is now not looking so great. It seems we had an entire colony of cowboy bugs ( click here to see what they look like , except the ones in our area are usually all black) move into the beautiful, green and yellow squash patch. I can't really blame them. It  was  the proverbial land of milk and honey, after all.  My sunflowers suffered a similar fate but from what, we aren't sure. We found some other kind of flying insect I didn't recognize. My dad, who's been gardening in this area for as long as I can remember, hasn't ever seen them before either. Their backs are black or a very dark brown. Their bellies, which we n...
