It was a beautiful spring day here yesterday with just enough breeze to consider it windy. The children finished their schooling, albeit with a small amount of complaining, and hit the outdoors with gusto. Their daddy came home from work and started on some prep work in the garden so I came in and did a bit of straightening up before joining them outside. It's good to train your children to help out but there are those times when they just need the chance to run! On those days I so appreciate my husband gladly keeping an eye on them outside. We don't allow them out without us. They just aren't quite old enough and with no fence, well...Mama can think of all sorts of mishaps!
When they got out of the shower last night I had supper ready. Much of it came from the freezer. We are cleaning out what little bit is left from last year's bounty. We had fresh peas, fried okra, corn on the cob, cornbread, and potato salad. After bath and supper Cornbread went down for sleep. Then the girls brushed their teeth and I brushed out their hair and braided it for bedtime. LadyBug has especially long hair and it tangles so easily if you don't brush it out really well! They climbed in the rocker with me for storytime and neither one made it through a reading of The Velveteen Rabbit! Their hard play/worktime in the garden truly paid off in sleep! :)
This morning they have also enjoyed romping around outside. It is supposed to storm this afternoon so I figured it would be a good idea to let them get a little runnning in now. The FisherMan has begun getting some plants in the ground. I'll update with some pictures of the garden soon. He started the plants from seed and they have done very well. He even has blooms on the squash! But we have to go ahead and plant because they are growing so well some are getting rootbound and beginning to wilt.
Have you had a chance to stop and focus on what today is? Here we are enjoying everyday life and on this day our Savior suffered all for us! His innocence paid for our sinful existence! What undeserved joy we can experience because of Him! Praise Jesus Christ, the Son of God! Let the LIFE around you on this beautiful spring day be a reminder of the eternal life we can have because of Jesus.
