Hello Again...

Time passes so quickly! It's almost June- can you believe it?!   And actually, that's the reason I have not posted in a while. I am preparing to graduate high school in June!  That is the reason for the senior photo shoots- in case I did not tell you :)

My family and I did take a trip to Florida two weeks ago, so I will hopefully be posting about that soon :) We were able to stop and see some good friends in Georgia as well, which was a blessing.

Since Dad had off work yesterday because of Memorial day, we were able to get some work done around our place.  We got a whole lot of periwinkle planted in the front of the house. The guys were able to work on the new cow shed. We did some yard work in the back of the house too.

Oh yes, you should also know, this past Saturday morning, our little calf was born! He is so adorable- we named him Scotland, Scottie for short.  I'll be posting pictures of him too.

Hm, it looks like I have lots to post about. =)

Until next time,
      ~ Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Snow And Ice Make It All Look Nice

That's true! It looks so pretty after it has snowed and even prettier once the ice has settled in. {Though I must say that the problems caused by ice are normally not as pretty.} We had a couple inches of ice on top of our snow last week. Although it was gorgeous to look at, there were quite a few snapped trees, and power outages throughout the county. Thankfully, we did not loose our electricity.  And so our winter wonderland came and was gone in 24 hours. It made for some beautiful scenery while milking though:)  In case you haven't picked up on it, I do my best to find something pretty, beautiful and/or good in all my circumstances. No, it's not always easy, and sometimes it takes me a while to find it, but I'm certain it's always there.  Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!  Until next time,  Elise

How quickly my focus shifts to others...(not what you may think)

While at work today, I was a little bored, and I wanted to read. I always bring my Bible in my bag I take to work, so I figured I would read that:) I decided to read the proverb of the day (proverbs 9). Proverbs 9 talks about wisdom and foolishness. It speaks of how you will only hurt yourself by rebuking a scoffer. But if you instruct a wise man, he will love you. As I thought about that- the thought came to mind that I knew a few people who should read that passage. But the Lord quickly showed me my own heart attitude. Woe is me that I should think that so quickly! How do I respond when others point out foolishness in my own life? Or do others not point it out because I have shown myself to be prideful and arrogant? Always thinking I am right... My first thought should not concern those who I think need it- but just focused one person, and that's me. None of us are as wise as we should or could be. We are all prideful at times, and that was a good reminder to me!  That was a hear...
