The busy hot days of SUMMER!



Its been awhile, but life has been filled with enjoying the bountiful harvest from the market garden, busy markets, hoeing, weeding, laughing and crying, crunchy carrots, swimming, making jam, baking bread  and making yummy smoothies with my new Universal Bosch Mixer, sleeping, napping, feeling baby move and kick in my growing belly, looking at farms, dreaming, enjoying our children immensely, cooking purple carrots and watching them go green, gathering eggs, camping, oh yes, camping, fishing, baby birds, laundry drying fast on the line, laying under the fans cooling off, midwife appointments, the swoosh of the baby's heartbeat, reading, writing letters...

Ah, life can be so busy, so hard, but the many moments in the day that we stand still and observe our blessings, WOW, it all amazes us!  We are so blessed!  Blessed with an outstanding marriage, lively rough and tumble boys, a bouncy daughter, the hope of another baby on the way.  How does one gather all those moments in a day that make your heart burst and how does one share about it?  When you see your 21 month old swinging on his belly on the swing to his hearts content?  When the boys come back from the garden, wagon filled to the brim with beets, themselves all pilled up on the tractor seat, hanging onto each other so not to fall off due to reduced seat space? When sisters offers to help brother find the baseball bat?  A little boy breaking open a pea pod for a snack? 

Yes, we are very blessed!  I hope you take the time to enjoy those moments in your life too, because they are there!!  All around us!
