Sunday evening is here :( Lloyd will be back at work tomorrow....I wish weekends were 3 days long. Still, we got so much done this weekend.
Tonight we cooked our hotdogs on the fire outside which was nice. The children had fun and they made smores after too. I finished cutting the grass and then took pictures of the children sat in the dandelion clocks....some pictures of the house from the road and parts of our land now that summer is in full swing.....and I tidied all the toys away and made sure everything was dog proof before letting the dogs out for a run.
Laurence took the dogs out for a play with the balls etc and then I sent him for a shower as he was caked in grass and his feet were filthy. He had fun earlier driving the tractor and cutting the grass.
Our mealwarms have hatched.....the cocoons have started hatching into beetles!!! They are weird looking beetles but very cool! WE have to feed them a piece of potato now....or apple.
Lloyd is doing his accounts this evening as they are due in this month.....I've been tidying up and vacuuming so I don't have to do much tomorrow. I think I will go and soak in the bath now.....
The sky darkened earlier but it didn't come to anything...I was hoping for a storm to blow away this heat but no luck.
I got a message from the Canadian lady that lives in the UK today. She told me she had read my blog! I think she's the first person to read it :) It was so nice to hear that someone had read and enjoyed it.
I think I will start writing my gratitude journal here each day instead of in my notebook journal.
Today I am grateful for:
1. My home and surroundings....the peace and quiet, the beauty and the calmness it brings to us.
2. Lloyds strength for digging up the bigger plants that I didn't have the energy for!
3. Short grass! It meant I could speed around on the tractor cutting it shorter rather than having to go slow...I really enjoy sitting on it cutting the grass and having that alone time to think.....
4. Seeing Chris with his chicken today....I like that he is enjoying caring for them....
5. The plants I bought att he garden centre today that have brightened up the porch steps.
6. That Susannahs arm has healed so fast and she is able to enjoy playing outside more.
7. My wonderful Nokia D70s that takes such wonderful pictures!
8. crunchy bread and pate!
9. Being able to share my life with my best friend.
10. The memories we are creating here at home for us all......Sam on the tractor, building the coop, Abby and Chris with the chicken, Laurence with Amber and Rosie.....Lloyd and I sitting on the porch drinking wine.....
Blogger won't let me add pictures right now....some problem they are having I think...so I can't add any pictures to my posts which is a shame...but I will add them when it is working again!
