In the middle of the six Mother’s Day ducklings is the Mama and baby that Robin gave us. The baby is a few days older than the Father’s Day ducklings but has been in the water since day one!

Its cool and clear and a perfectly delightful day. I am sipping coffee with my DH and enjoying the quiet of the early morning.

My visiting friend is still in bed.  She is a much slower starter than we are. Today she is headed home.  I am hopeful that she got the rest she needed although it is hard for me to tell.  She has visited yearly over the past twenty years and until this time we did the “vacation” thing of seeing the sights (driving around), going out to eat and shopping (she’s a shopper).  This year because of gas prices and my limited energy and resources we mostly hung out.  I became aware of how different our life styles had become.  I also became aware of how much work it takes to entertain someone for a full week.  I am very tired and have hardly been in the sewing room.  Cooking for ones husband whenever is different from having a guest that wants to know in the morning, “What’s for supper?”

I think I have become spoiled as I have gotten older and like doing just what I want whenever I want.  Hehe.

I found this lovely watercolor at a local yard sale. What a beauty and it was professionally framed as well. I love it!

We are headed out this morning to see what the marketplace holds!  There were lots of yard sale notices so we’ll check them out this morning. It is another glorious day. The weather is clear, calm and warm.  What a good start to July.

This should have posted on June 29th…

A couple of stragglers in today and a follow up on the Super quilter…(she bought it!) The Superquilter will be picked up tonight or tomorrow but has already been paid for. Another $100 worth of fabric went out again today. Tomorrow some of the proceeds go to pay the taxes and the rest will be squirreled away for future needs. It feels so good to be lighter in the fabric department.

Nikki and Artie stayed overnight and had a great breakfast with us here at the farm. The kids enjoyed the ducks immensely and loved collecting eggs. I let them pick over some of the yard sale stuff that was left and they each had a small bag of goodies.

Yesterday was a long day.

Waiting, hoping, anticipating … and then pure joy with a safe arrival and a beautiful grandson!  Then watching as the photos came through from DH and DS.  What a wonder today’s modern age is.  I was able to participate from afar in this exciting birth experience.

God is so good. This child has come and is welcomed and loved beyond measure and this is nothing compared with the love of our heavenly Father for us.  I am so thankful.
