My Favorite Time of the Year!!!

Don't you just love Springtime? I so enjoy the warmer weather and longer days. This week I began spring cleaning. I got off to a good start and am excited to see what the rest of the week holds. I'm trying to clean one room at a time so hopefully I'll have lots completed by Friday. My children even got in on the "fun" this morning. After playing for a while, they helped by cleaning window sills, light switches, doorknobs and windows. This afternoon I got outside with the kids and we moved some sticks to a burn pile. I'm so thankful for a wagon or we'd probably still be out there. It won't be too long before we'll plant our garden. I'm looking forward to that. Actually, I'm really looking forward to the harvest. The other stuff is just in anticipation of the harvest. :) How are you spending your days lately?

Rainy Day

It's a rainy day here today. I'm actually excited about it! I have so much to do in the house before we leave to go to my parent's house next week. It seems like when the weather is nice I don't get that stuff inside done. I've actually been hoping for a rainy day all week. I also hope the rain washes all that yucky pollen away. It is covering everything here. Hopefully, we'll do a few fun things that we've not done much since the weather's been so nice. It's always fun to read, play some games, put together a puzzle, and watch a movie on a rainy day. We'll see how much we can accomplish in one day.

Spring

Spring is my favorite season of the year! I love it when it begins to warm up, flowers bloom, birds sing, grass grows, and much more. Those moments are such a reminder of how God is in each moment. I don't usually get much done inside the house during this time of the year because I want to go outside and let the children play and just enjoy walking and looking at creation. I take that back. I do get a lot done, but it's just when the children are napping or sleeping. I tend to get most of my housework done at night so that I can enjoy the outside. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it ws good." Genesis 1: 11-12
