Happy Mother’s Day!
Mammoth dill. Saved the seeds last year and growing lots more this year.
It has rained a lot here today.
Recently realized that our property is eligible to be a certified wildlife habitat through NWF. Thinking about moving forward with that.
Fairly certain no one wears more socks in a week’s time than my daughter. I did (her) laundry for the second time this week, and there were 15 pairs. 🤪🧦
While Matt took B to baseball practice this evening, Ro and I: Transferred painted lady chrysalises to a larger enclosure, I did a maze she drew, I read a book to her, played catch, she put on a scooter show, planted flowers, fed fish, and she tried to coax a bunny out of the fire pit with grass. ✅
She’s his (littlest) biggest fan. 🖤💜
In case you’re ever faced with the decision, I’m gonna help you out… Opting for a cleat over another type of shoe to try and squish a spider is the wrong choice.
B found a (live) crawfish in the garden yesterday.
The power of sin is broken Jesus overcame it all He has won our freedom Jesus has won it all
Been singing this in my head since yesterday
Thankful for true freedom via grace and power!
One of the best things to do on a Spring Saturday… We went to one of our favorite local “plant places” today, and the kids picked out some flowers for their garden.
Just rearranged the flower and herb pots on my porch for about the 114th time in the last two weeks. Still not sure I like the configuration, but I can fit a chair in amongst them now… So, maybe I’ll find one and go sit with my plants and think of another way to rearrange them.
Thought my coffee looked pretty from above. I prefer purchasing beans that I know were roasted pretty recently, but sometimes I don’t order in time and it’s tragic to run out. 🤪 So, I’m currently using (and like) Kicking Horse Coffee Three Sisters and Decaf mixed together for a homemade half caff.
3 years ago today: My girl hunting for Easter eggs in the clover at home 💛🩵🩷💜💚
We got school done early so we could have a “LEGO party.” Kids have their own new sets they’re working on, and I’m doing this set I recently got for my birthday.
(Happily) Flew through some school this morning. Then, we might have got the order of things wrong, but so be it… Chiro then trampoline park for the kiddos. Welcome time with sweet friends (both theirs and mine).
Chiropractor wiped me out today. So tired. And so sore.
From our trip last week
March 27, 2025: Houston Museum of Natural Science
Such a good museum. My two favorite exhibits this time were Fabergé (first two photos) and Gems and Minerals. Ancient Egypt is pretty cool too. (Third photo is from the Hall of Paleontology 🦖.)
Busy, busy last week and a half. Baseball practice for the bud, pack for trip, go on trip for 4 days, travel home with baseball game next day, church and house care, another baseball game, my week to teach at our co-op, grocery shopping, eye appt. for me, packing for another trip soon, + homeschool.
March 26th, 2025: Houston Zoo!
Ro’s favorite animal was the meerkats. And I didn’t get a picture of her with those even though she sat looking at them for a while… And asked to see them one more time before we left. But allll the other animals were close seconds. And we had a great time!!
