Wow, Has it been THAT long?

Posted on Saturday, August 2, 2008 at 02:45

Goodness,  I had no idea it had been that long since I had been to Homestead!  I have been very busy, and life has been hectic, but I am blessed, and happy.  Many of the wonderful ladies have sent me messages, and emails to let me know that I have been missed, and I thank all who did!

So many things have changed since I have been on-line...not the least of which is growing a year older, changes in location and lifestyle, and so many others, I can't even name them all! But, as a very dear friend says on her blog, blogging without obligation, LOL!  And a big Thank You! to dear Tricia...she is a true gift and compatriot! Yet, I do miss the fellowship and the wisdom I often glean from the blogs of many others who write.  There is always something new, and love imparted by so many...hmmm...I think it is time to make a comeback to the world of blogging, LOL!

Pumpkin and I are gearing up for another year of homeschool, so there will be trips to the store for papers, pens and all other sorts of fun and exiting supplies...what mother does not love the scent of glue and construction paper, inks and fabrics, and of course, the inevitable discussion on which backpack is the coolest?  This year, Pumpkin, who is growing by such leaps and bounds, (I am astonished), has chosen to make her own...so out will come the Singer, and nimble little fingers will cut, and stich and have a blast!  She has chosen a new theme...western!

For the last few weeks, she has been delving into horses, which she has always loved,  but has now developed such a passion for, they are the central focus of every conversation...even at dinner time...Mommy, do horses eat hay all the time...ummm oatmeal...I bet the horses would love it! No matter what, horses are going to make an apppearance!

Then of course, there are fall preparations under way...putting up the last of garden produce, cleaning and sprucing up a few things here and there.  Always something to be done.  Yet, life is sweet and God is good.

So, I am making some more changes, some badly needed, others just desired.  But, no matter what else this season of my life holds in store, I will take a moment to reflect on the past, be grateful for the present, and make plans for the future...and I hope to be blogging more, too!

God bless and keep you, as you and your family prepare for the coming days. May He supply all of your needs, enrich your hearts and hearth and keep each of you happy on the Homestead!
