Hello Everyone! I'm back...
Posted on 2006-Mar-2 at 08:44 - Post Comment
Well I am refreshed from my month away from the computer, and I truly feel as though I have broken somewhat of a bad habit- that habit being obsessively checking and updating my blog, scrolling for comments and thinking about my next post. This is a lot of fun, writing here in this community, but it was getting out of hand for me, so I am back but I will be back on a lesser scale than before I think.
The difference in my home this past month was...hmmm...alarming I think is the best fitting word to use. Little projects that needed doing got done, I kept up with all my housework and had time to spare, we made huge leaps and bounds with schoolwork. I almost feel as though God reached down and gave me a shake- kind of like a mama shakes her pup when he's getting out of line :) Well I know better than to ignore a shake, and I am going to make the necessary changes that are needed to keep myself on the right path. The first thing I am going to work on is removing the "comments" section from my blog. As much as I enjoy reading what people think of what I write, I find that checking on comments is one of the biggest reasons I am pulled back to the computer.
Anyway, we had a very active February mentally if not physically. I am planning my garden OBSESSIVELY and being very annoying, asking Ken all sorts of questions that he doesn't know the answers to :) Today we are picking up 4 lambs that are still taking bottles- their mama wouldn't nurse them so the owner has been taking care of it and now it's our turn. We will have 3 ewe lambs and one ram lamb. How exciting!! As soon as I can, I'll put up some pictures.
I have so much to write about- one more advantage to taking time off I guess. I think I'll just stop here for today and save some of the things for later. I sure missed everyone!! Glad to be "back" again :)

I want to get this in before you remove the comments - you have been "sorely" missed!! Here and on the Homestead!! You just don't realized what an uplifting presence you are!!
I love it when God speaks to me and I obey - (it's the obeying part that I struggle with!!!) but I am getting much better -
just wanted to let you know that we love you and have missed you!!
Donna
me too

Hi Leah,
I have missed you very much.
Like Donna, I'm going to write my comment before you take them away.
You are doing great with hearing what the Lord is telling you...keep it up. I'm proud for you and of you.
I look forward to having you back on the "Homestead". We have all missed you my dear friend.
Blessings,
Cathy

I have considered removing my comments also ... oh, how hard!! This is all so addicting. May the Lord bless you as you follow Him. :)
Glad to see you!

I love your blog and enjoy the updates with your family!
Glad that the computer down time was so refreshing for you and so productive. It is a true blessing God has given you.
