I Love Summer

Posted in Ranch Shekinah

 

 

 

Monday and Tuesday were spent towards getting the bedrooms in order.  Ruthie needed help in her room – so I spent the majority of my time with her on Monday.  Tuesday was the day I spent re-organizing my room – sorting winter clothes, and pulling out my summer things.  M and T were all work and no play.

 

Wednesday was just the opposite.  After dh left for work, I hopped on our lawn mower and cut several acres of grass.  I love doing this – it’s one of my favorite things to do. I so enjoy being outside and enjoying the scents and sounds of nature.

 

Our new horse trainer arrived at 9:30 a.m. to work with Rachel and Savannah for their 4-H preparation.  I sat with two other parents as we watched our girls being taught.  It was a beautiful day to be outside with a gentle breeze and not too hot weather.

 

 

When the girls were done with their class, I began mine.  This was my first time with our new trainer, Tabatha.  I was very pleased with her demeanor and feel totally blessed by Him that He allowed us to meet her (a week ago) and that she has time in her schedule to fit us in.  Jacob, Ruthie, and Joshua all had a class, too.

  

I can’t imagine a more delightful day; cutting grass, picking strawberries, enjoying my children, riding my horse, taking an evening walk and gator ride with my husband, and tending to our chickens.  This  is truly the delight of summer.

What a fun picture. That is amazing how you got them to pose so nicely. lol Happy to hear you have found a new horse trainer! I hope you are able to reach some/all of your goals and progress a little faster with this one. We were out playing with the horses last night, but after being away from playing for a while with all our rain, they all needed a reminder of who's boss.

Yes, Summer is a delightful time. I could not agree with you more! Your animal menagerie photo is adorable. Wish I could scoop up all those fluffy, little critters in my arms and snuggle them at once!

The sun finally came out here in WA. today. We had tons of errands to run this afternoon so there wasn't much time for my youngest dd and I to enjoy the out of doors, however. We did get in a few minutes with the horses - not riding, just care-taking. Hopefully tomorrow we can spend more time outside. The girls for sure are going to do some riding tomorrow - the fair is coming right up and they need to be practicing..

Glad to hear riding lessons went well for you and the children!

Enjoy the weekend.
Blessings~

Was able to catch up on your blog today, which is always a joy and encouragement to read. It sounds like you've had a great couple of months. We lived 2 hours from DC a few years ago and enjoyed taking day trips there. I love how the city planner set it up (mall, capital, white house, etc) in the shape of a cross.

The above picture is so cute! I love the mix-match of contented animals. =D Our daughter has started riding lessons and loves it!

Glad the crusade in Andhra Pradesh went well. Our friends from Visakhapatnam (http://www.love-n-careministries.org/) will be staying with us in mid-July and speaking at our church. All of us are very excited. Their 2 children are near our children's age, so they are planning all sorts of things to do with them while they are here. =)

About Me

Welcome to our ranch! Come, sit on our porch, have some tea, and stay a while. Were going to have a lot of fun chatting. Bring the kids, too, as we've got lots of room to play, horses to ride, cats and kitties to cuddle, gentle dogs to pet, and baby chickens to look at and hold. We can take trail rides around the alfalfa field, wade through the creek, take a paddle boat to the island on the lake, go fishing, or explore the Black Walnut Forest. There's no hurry around here. We'll just meander about and maybe even pack a picnic basket - Ranch Shekinah is abounding with Mulberry trees, wild blackberries and raspberries, an orchard of apple trees, and a herb garden.
