It's April! (Plus Pinwheel Hairclips)

Well, it is finally my birthday month!  I always look forward to April...it's such a beautiful time of the year!

I have been "missing in action," from the blog, for a couple of weeks. I have been working on graduation things in my spare time.  :)  It's really hard to believe I'm graduating from homeschool!  (Bitter-sweet...)

A week or so ago, I made these springy hairclips...they make you just want to go on a picnic!  :)

I hope you had a blessed Easter...we have so much to be thankful for!  He is risen...the tomb is empty!

Easter Morning (Me and Leah)

April is a busy birthday month for our family!  Here, Katy and I are celebrating our birthdays, early.  (Mine is Friday and Katy's is the 19th...such old women...17 & 18!)  :)

What a wonderful time we had on Easter evening!  Here we are with our cousins!

I am so thankful that we serve a risen Savior! 

To Him...all the glory, forever!

 

The Blessing of Obedience

Let me start by saying...the Lord is always on time...He is always faithful...we just have to trust Him!

Today, we were blessed by someone's obedience to the Lord.  For awhile, we have been looking for a tiller for the garden.  We usually have to borrow one, but we really needed one of our own. 

This afternoon, someone pulled into our driveway and took this off the back of his truck...

(Please excuse my lovely attire...I wasn't planning on having a picture made.)  :)

 

Can you say, "What a blessing!"  The man said he found out that we needed one and the Lord told him to get it for us.  His obedience was an answered prayer...through him, the Lord provided us with a tiller!  He could have easily made excuses on why he shouldn't/couldn't, but he obeyed the Lord's prompting.  What a lesson on obeying, when the Lord tells us to do something...

Again, the Lord is ALWAYS on time...He is ALWAYS faithful...we just have to TRUST Him!

Thanking Him for His faithfulness,

Gardening!!!

I hope you have had a blessed week!  I know a lot of sickness and allergies are going around...it's that time of year.  Our family has had bouts with colds and allergies...but are finally getting over them. 

We now have the onions and lettuce planted!  I'm a little later than last year...but we have been busy and haven't had the opportunity to plant.  I'm glad to have them in the ground! 

I absolutely love my raised beds!  They make it easier to keep the weeds under control.

Oh, how I love my gardening boots...  :)

Onions!!!

Here comes the rain...

My compost pile...worms!

My lemon balm came back from last year!

Here is our Yoshino cherry tree.

^"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is..." Psalm 63:1  

Enjoy the weekend...even with the rain!  :)
