Last year about this time..... 2 dogs were abandoned in our neighborhood.  They found their way to our home.  Fast forward to one year later the and the destructive duo.... oops, I mean the "dynamic duo" are still here.... and still destroying.  For this very reason we have bought a bunch of stuff to try and make a fence.....to keep these critters out of our  "soon to be garden".  I showed the "stuff" to our 13 year old and he let loose and has been building.... problem solving and just basically  having a "blast" trying to make a "dog proof" fence before we plant the rest of our garden.  We do not have ANY idea if it will be the least bit effective.... I guess that time will tell:)  He has even fashioned a "gate" for us to enter and exit through.  It made me think about Jesus as the "gate".  He is the only way to get to the Father.  I am thankful for Him and the life that he brings!  Woo hooo!!!

I have also been cleaning some of our outside windows as a bird has figured out how to do its business sideways on two of our windows. YUCK!!  But... what a fun and satisfying thing to see the dirt and grime be washed away and to be left with a clean window.  It made me think of how glad I am that Jesus forgives my sins and wipes me clean and white as snow! !!!  Thank you God for homemaking tasks!:)
