In which I realize I haven't given an update in some time...

I'm sorry- I know I haven't posted in a little while...at least it seems it has been a little while. But I am sure you know by now that lack of posting simply means, lack of time. I would tell you that I have been busy preparing to leave for Alabama- but I'm sure you don't want to hear that-again. Instead, I will share some pictures with you that I have been trying to take, as I try and make the most out of my time left here at home. 
She said, "I just want to spend time you you...we can do somethings special,.."

I finished crocheting the first of four blankets I hope to take with me to Alabama:) 
While the angle is weird and my arm is stuck in the way- this picture captures the fun we had on the tree swing:) 
This past Tuesday was my last day teaching piano until I get back! 
                I'm going to miss him! 
There is something so refreshing about watching the sun rise and wake the world. 
 Easter Sunday- celebrating the resurrection of Christ! And we had a house full of people:) We played some games and had good disscusion- and ate good food;) 
Spring is in full bloom everywhere and I am enjoying it to the fullest! 

Our neighbors barn is so pretty with the budding trees and bright green grass:) 

I ordered a book from Voice of the Mytars 
That came last week and I have been blessed and encouraged as I read the stories of fellow brothers and sisters around the world who are standing up for Christ no matter what it costs them. If you want to know how to pray for our brethern in chains, this book will give helpful insight on how we can pray. 

We have some new kittens on the farm! 
I love having new life on the farm! 
And I believe that pretty summarizes what I have been busy doing...though I did not mention my normal work during the week...
I did build my first door jam, and that's finished now:) I enjoyed that- got two more to go;) 
Pretty soon, I think my posts will be filled with pictures of my upcoming "vacation" with my sister, and then little children who have stolen my heart;) Soooo...
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...

Reflections

Reflections are very interesting...they help you see the objects and scenery around you in a new way. I took some neat reflection shots today, and thought I would share them:) A smiling face in a tea cup:) Yes, I know, the computer screen is pretty dirty;) And while we are on the subject of reflections...I thought I would "reflect" on January so you get a little update on what I have been doing:) Since I was working in the general contracting world for several months, I learned some useful skills, and have recently been putting them to good use here in my home. We built our home many years ago, but moved in before the interior was finished. Doors needed to be put up, base trim, door trim, and painting all needed to be done. So now that I have those skills, and some time, I have taken on the job of finishing the inside of our house:) When I get a chance, I will take some pictures of projects I finish and post them for you. Besides that, I am still te...

Reminders

When I stop to look at the beauty all around, I am amazed that God loves me as much as He does! His creation is so much prettier than I am... It does not sin!  But God wants a relationship with me and because He wants that, He sent His Son to die- for me. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them:) Let us not forget why we are here.  Until next time,  Elise
