Blessed To See This Precious Face

Last Thursday evening, Justin and I decided to head over to our land, and do a bit of work. He wanted to clear some more of where our driveway will go, and I needed to pick blueberries.

 

Blueberry picking did not take long. And while I would have gladly helped, there was not much I could do to help in clearing the brush in the driveway area. A weed eater with a blade was needed, and Justin, being the AMAZING protector he is, prefers I stay at a safe distance away, so no flying brush hits me.

So, I decided to take a walk through some of the nearby woods.

While being able to walk through woods that our own is a HUGE blessing in itself, GOD blessed me with seeing this precious face come out of nowhere...

 

A tiny fledgling, sitting on a branch...

 

 

 

 

He was not at all afraid. He just kept watching me and posing. :D

 

 

But it was not long before I heard mommy and daddy nearby, making all kinds of noise. Most definitely fussing at me to get way from their baby! :D

 

 

Why should I be discouraged and why should the shadows fall?
Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion, my constant Friend is He,
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.

Let not your heart be troubled; these tender words I hear;
And resting on his goodness I lose my doubts and fears;
For by the path He leadeth but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted; whenever clouds arise;
When songs give place to sighing; when hope within me dies;
I draw the closer to Him; from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me...

 

Have a wonderfully blessed day everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Of Piled Dishes, Blueberries, and Hard Work

Well hello there! I pray that you are having a wonderfully blessed day in our LORD! The sun is shining so gloriously bright today. There are some clouds dotting the sky, but they are the big white fluffy ones that you could sit and watch for hours, and imagine them to be all sorts of shapes. Oh, and the temps today are already up into the mid 80's. A perfect start to the month of June. :D

 

So, how have ya'll been of late? It has been what I call "crazy busy" here of late. I think today might me the first day in almost a month I do not have to go anywhere. Unless of course my darling hubby gets home before dark, and he's itching to work on our newly purchased land. Which has been the case more times than I can count since purchasing it. :)

 

 

So far we have where our house will go marked, the driveway mostly mapped out, and a field partly plowed.







 

I love working our land, but sometimes it can be very draining work. It's one way the LORD is teaching me patience, and not to complain... ;)

We have even been able to camp out one evening. :)

Campside breakfast...

And oh yes! We discovered we have several blueberry bushes on the property! We don't think anyone planted them, as the property is completely undeveloped. So most likely a bird helped out with that. :)

 

 

 

Our property has not been the only "adventure" embarked upon of late. I am now on day 22 of a Whole30! I hope to share more of this adventure soon. To make it brief, the past 22 days have been grainless, sugarless, dairyless, chocolateless, and peanut butterless. All in an effort to reset my thought and mind set regarding nutrition.

 

A lunch salad, with grilled venison, tomatoes, and fresh basil from my garden. Oh, and a side of my special blend of iced red rasberry, and nettle tea

 

With those said adventures, my K-3 teaching job finishing up for summer, 2 graduation celbrations, attending a wedding, directing a wedding, grocery shopping, exercise , and everthing in between, I pray that if you want to drop by my house you give me a wee bit of warning. :)

 

From constant cooking on the Whole30, and not being home everyday, housework has become increasingly difficult to keep caught up on. Which has drove me CRAZY on more than one occasion...

 

Piled dishes...

 

And the never ending pile of laundry...

 

This is real life folks.



 

So, with all that being said, I think I'm going to get off of here, and try to spend this day organizing my little castle. :)

 

After I share these two pics. :D

And this cute couple that had to have matching outfits while attending a cousins wedding. :)
