Right now life is centered around School work, children, Puppies and gardening. So far we have 9 rows potatoes, 4 rows onions, double row peas, and of course, lettuce, kale, spinach, radishes, carrots planted. I know that sounds like a lot, but when you have a lot of little mouths to feed and they love all that sort of thing, it really isn't that much......
Gardening is therapy.. It's refreshing, and gives you that sense of accomplishment, when it seems everything else that day has failed. And in our little world right now, we need everything we can get to brighten up our day and make it feel successful and cheerful!
Here at home there are constant reminders of Austin, and with that is a lot of tears shed from everyone, today we folded his laundry and put it away, picked up his shoes and put them on the shelf.
And than I hear, "Mom, how many plates on the table?" and I think *ouch*, it just hurts. It is empty, and I count heads outside, and think there is one missing, and it hits me...Austin. Or I say, "hey Austin do you want................." and I remember he isn't here. Those are the tough days.
And in between gardening, we embrace each day of warm sunshine that is given. Today the wind was extreme, and we all found it a little harder to enjoy the warmth.
On the warm days, is when I hear my little piano player out back on the deck playing away, and I sit back with a sigh of relief, because God is good! And in
so many ways has blessed us.
I need little reminders daily to remember that God is there for us, he hears our cries... whether they are loud or quiet, Big or little.
.........Till Next Time.......
