Sunday Smiles

Happy Day of Rest to all of you.
Sorry for the absence.
I am getting back up on my feet and rebounding pretty well. The good foods that Debbie gifted me with have been such a help. I have had salads and soy yogurt. It is really inspirational to eat live foods.
Saturday Morning a new begining for me.
After realizing it was up to me to do something proactive to gain my future back.After a lot of soul searching and prayer I have realized that it is time to humble myself and join Over eaters Anonymous. I went to my first meeting Saturday morning.
It is a 12 step program. I faced my "first step" realizing that I am powerless over this compulsive behavior. No matter how hard I tried.
It was a very "Long first step " the meeting was at the end of a VERY long hall the length of a very large building. It was a very long first step with the walker. I hope next Saturday to do it without the walker.
I have been working on a few Earrings for a show I hope to do in November. It would be great to do the Etsay store too. It is in need of help from someone who knows how to set one up.

Yesterday I was able to make a simple supper that was so appreciated by the family. The kids cleared their plates , not a grain of rice left on them. It was a joy to eat a meal together. I have been icing my knee. It is doing much better.

My Dear Hearten Husband installed the clothes line and we are now up and ready to catch up on the Mounds of Laundry in my room. I have been unable to catch up now the last four weeks. The children s clothes were completed over and over but our pile sorta just grew. We are so blessed to have so many clothes to be able to do so.

I awoke just after dawn to a new day.
My leg fresh and the garden calling my heart. I fed the dogs and grabbed a wonderful banana. To the garden.

Come away , come away come away with me my love....

I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the Roses. The voisce I hear ringing in my ear the Son of God disclosed.......He talks with me...
The furrow for the radish and carrot row was readied the other day, it was a huge task just to rake away the hay on that day.

I found the green beans loving life by the compost. Lots of compost tea here.
The trellis will need up real soon now. I think we will have the beans by Thanksgiving.

Can you see the baby crook neck squash?
A yellow summer squash.

Seeds are so beautiful!
Who would think that such a small thing could yield such abundance.
These are slicing beets.

I got the carrots, radish mixed in the long row, cooking carrots in a row on their own.

I planted the lettuces a romaine and a black seed salad? Looked interesting.
The soil under the straw was found to be moist and tender a gentle turning and I had the row ready. Yes..I rested after every few moments. I had a chair out there and just sat and enjoyed the hummingbird visiters.

After all was in the earth and a good watering was had a thick layer of straw was thrown over everything. This is working wonders on keeping my soil soft and the moisture in. A garden that gets all dried out is not too very happy. I so look forward to having a rain harvesting system by next year. I know it will pay for itself.

Daddy man mowed and we used the hand truck on one end to move the hen tractor. I raked and mucked and My Mr cleaned it up with a shovel. I am resting and that sweet sweaty soul took the kids to a local public pool to bring a little end of the summer pleasure to them.

Earlier we watched some home movies, the Mr and I. We took a trip to Tennessee and Kentucky in 1997 it was before kids.
How we long to travel more.

Please pray for my sister Carrie.
She is to have a total knee replacement on Wednesday next.
I believe the suffering with my knee is too teach the compassion that she is going to need to receive from me (in part).

I did not go to the pool to keep my leg safe.
The bruising is down, and the strength is returning quickly to it.
I will rest it the rest of the day...
Ice is a good thing. :)
I did not "over do it" this morning, but it is done for the day.
I took an afternoon nap of an hour or so. Lazy afternoon is in order here for me.


I received some thoughtful awards from a dear heart over at
"Talk to Grams"


Thank you Care'Oh' Lynn :)
for such a sweet thoughtful kindness...
