Matthew 6:34 So don't worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
All right, Okay, I always thought I was at least somewhat computer literate..I could do the basic things even a little html when I felt like it. So here's my confession: I can't figure out how to put more pictures on my blog! It says I've completely used all the space in my photo album. :( Sadness for me. I even went to try to change to a custom template, but can't find that option anymore. I need my eldest daughter home from the navy to figure this out for me! Any advice out there?? I even tried to put up a photo link from photobucket.com, but I wanted it on the right side of my blog and everytime I put it in the template edit section, no matter where I put it, it ended up at the end of the blog. ARRHH.
Okay, so onward.. "Each day has enough trouble of its own."
With my parents help, we finally put in our garden! We are so excited and feel so blessed! My father worked hard tilling up the land and then we planted 3 rows of corn so far, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, onion and potato. It's just so beautiful to me. We started another section of garden in another corner of the land and will plant more tomatoes and potatoes, etc. there, plus I want to do beans and some sunflowers--just because! My husband also got into the action after working at our rental house for like 10 hours and then came to till up a section for watermelon, melons & pumpkins. The simple satisfaction one feels after surveying all the hardwork--it's indescribable! (If I could figure out my picture issue I would post some pics...arrhhh)
I bought the littlest three watering cans--2 pink and 1 green--and they LOVE watering the flowers! To the point that even after a hard rain they wanted to go a watering! They are learning responsibility and taking care of things at such a young age--the opportunities a rural life provides is wonderful (they'll probably grow up hating it and want to be in the city--though my 11 and 15 year old say despite the work they dislike the city and would not want to live there at this point in their thinkings of the future--so there is hope :)) My little ones Cruz (4) and Emma (2) helped carry the feed buckets to the horses yesterday and it was so cute b/c the bucket was about as big as Emma and she carried it so proudly. Hannah helped mamma with the wheelbarrow of hay--keeping her little hand on the side. That's what they mean by precious moments. We recently purchased the movie "Charlotte's Web" and Cruz announced to his papi that we need to buy a pig. Ha ha!! Not quite yet. Goats, yes, pigs not quite yet! I fell in love with a brown nubian my friend recently purchased. It was quite sad as her father purchased the goats at an auction without seeing them and they were in such a state. They had pink eye and are so thin. Amazingly, they are the sweetest, gentlest goats. I can't imagine they had much interaction considering their physical condition--but a female and I made friends and she followed me around nudging my hand so I would continue to love on her. I wanted to pack her up in the mini-van! ha ha! Imagine that one! Though we have had chickens in their before--at the same time we were babysitting for my friends mini-daschund--plus a milk can she had gifted me and a churn--the kids kept teasing me about getting pulled over with chickens, a dog, kids, butter churn, milk can all crammed in the mini-van. It was fun! (and no I didn't get pulled over :))
Any advise on goats would be appreciated. I do want a Nubian, but would one to start be okay? I have heard you should at least have two for companionship purposes. Whatcha think??
Blessings to all--look around you--cherish those little moments! God is so Good!!!
