"The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes,
and surely it is in the everyday things around us
that the true life lies."
--Laura Ingalls Wilder

You are so blessed!!
Looks like you guys are having lots of summer fun ... I'm jealous that you've got most of your planning and purchasing behind you! ;)
I bet I know of a little girl who was excited to get more strawberries - lol! Great pics, BTW!!
Our visit was WAY TO BRIEF! My heart ached as we parted... longing to hang with you and just chat some more... It was wonderful seeing you guys. I had a blast... THANK YOU for continuing to encourage me on this journey... for "dragging" :) me into homeschooling... it's the best decision we ever made. God used you. oh - and get to buying that new Mac! I want to see you when we start our bible study. I'm getting my book tonight!
Love you-
Love the boo-eys this time of year!
Our strawberries are done...more or less. They're everbearing, so they should produce a handul here and there, but the heavy bloom is done. Strawberries are one of God's greatest gifts to the Earth, I think.
Beautiful images again, Heather. I sounds like you are having a wonderful time enjoying the summer's bounty. Blessings to each of you!
You have a "true" life Heather filled with such lovely blessings. You bring such joy with the open gratitude of your heart. I think it doubles the blessing.
Popping over from the Gratitude Community! What a lovely list. We are big silly band fans here, too :)
