The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies;
but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and,
as the magnet finds the iron,
so it will find, in every hour,
some heavenly blessings!
~Henry Ward Beecher

playful banter and a love of school
9-year old: Oh, I can't wait for summer break (sigh).
5-year old: Why??
9-year old: Because then we don't have to do any school work!! That's everyone's dream.
5-year old: That's not my dream... that's SO not my dream.

I'm getting ready to call... :) I shared your quote... actually I read it and then in search of my own quote chose the same one - thinking it was different... just goes to show we are cut from the same cloth. :) I'm all over 476 -- for the same reason. :) Love you sister... can't wait to talk to you. And let Momma know the Seedums, the Blue Danube and the tall purplish-red plants are in... still need to plant the black-eyed Susans. :)
I always love your lists, Heather!!
I am so jealous about your farmer's market! Ours doesn't open for another three weeks ... I can't wait!!
Have a great week, Heather! I struggle with finishing well, so I'm really trying to stick to the plan for the next couple of weeks! ;)
Lovely list. I love the scent of a fresh mowed lawn.
I always enjoy reading your lists, Heather!
Thanks for being an unwitting (or maybe witting?) exhortation to see the Lord in all these things, and to persevere and work hard (I need that, I struggle with laziness).
Gorgeous. GORGEOUS!
My dream is to take pictures like you. It's SO not my dream! CLASSIC!
Wonderful list! I love that picture of the fresh onions.~ Your children are so precious!
I feel so refreshed and encouraged whenever I read your lists Heather. I love it that your five year old doesn't want a summer break! How about you Mama?
I envy you your Farmer's Market. We just can't seem to find a good one in our area.
Isn't this time of year beautiful? I just love it!
Have a blessed week sweet girl.
What gorgeous pictures. I love your list. Just found you through Carrie's blog! I love your blog!
Such a sweet list and lovely pictures. I love the quote, too. :)
