Home Sweet Simple Home


A day of Days

  What a day!
Loads of stuff going on around here today and I captured a few of today’s moments to share as you will soon see:
The morning was spent with math and spelling then errand running . . . . .
We had to pick up the girls’ Caravan sashes in Little Busy Town- a wonderful dear sweet lady in our church sewed all the badges on for me. Oh thank you Lord!
After errands (which included me buying some garden plants at a grand discount), we came home for lunch and bag packing.
The girls have Caravan Round-Up tonight & all day tomorrow. Here they are all dressed up in their uniforms and lovin’ on each other. I have no worries as I know they will both look out for each other. Or else.

[side note: Can you see the little fairy house in the picture? And the little pebble path? That's the girls' fairy garden.]


Mr. Steady decided he and Mr. Conductor would
go fishin’ tonight and so they went off to dig up worms in my compost heap.
While I packed them a picnic supper.
Mr. Steady said that this way I could go over all the new homeschooling stuff to my heart’s
content all by myself tonight.
What a guy!
After they left, I decided to do some more planting, weeding and arranging in my gardens. I wandered over to the girls’ fairy gardens and saw this little
fairy parade hiding under the rose bush.

Speaking of the rose bush- it was here when we moved. My mother-in-law told me it’s called Seven Sisters. It’s prickly as all get out and while it blooms profusely, the color only lasts a week or so.
And the flowers don’t keep well when cut and brought inside.
But it does look all grand, old-fashioned and glorious sittin’ on that little bitty bit of fencing Mr. Steady mended last fall.


In closing- take a peek at this little abode nestled in a side garden. I love cracked pots- they have such spunk and personality. Just like myself!

 

Oooh, I don’t want to forget- I also did this today!
Busy momma today!

The girls are so cute. The pictures of the garden are so pretty too!

God's Blessings,

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
