A bit under the weather



It has finally cooled down....and my allergies are kicking my bootie.  :(
All I want to do today is crawl in bed and watch parenthood on Netflix.
Oh Please!!!!

We went to dinner with three of our 4 boys last night. 
Gosh I love my family.  I miss Mr T.
We spend the entire time talking and laughing.  Alex even said something really funny
and shocked us all. 
Some days I miss having them all under one roof.  But we didn't laugh as much then because it felt more like a hormone, drama, soup of teenagers.
I love how smart everyone is about what they love.  When they love it they go all out too get all the information they can.  I love that they are so different and yet have so much in common that they spend time with each other.  I've always wanted a close family.  God is good.

We had rain the past few days.  So...that means we had the roof leaking all over the house. 
Oh the joy of a leaky tin roof.  It's a trade off for how cool it sounds when it rains.

This morning the neighbors little rooster was crowing.  He's learning. 
I imagine this lungs will get stronger and I will want to strangle the little booger, but for now he comes to the house with his fluffy feet and eats each day and I can't be unhappy with him.  The two hens are getting nice and fat.  I hope the owners don't eat them.  They are such sweet little visitors.

I'm out of Kombucha tea.  I have two brewing but none ready to drink. 
We've made 4 batches, that were totally different, so far.  We learned quite a bit.
It's been a fun project. 

My house is starting to look like a farmhouse inside as well as outside.
I have jars with plants growing all over the place and jars of tea.  I need to put on my apron and a big hat and take a picture of my little old farmer lady self. 
One day I will buy chickens and we'll be set.

I did not watch the debates.  Based on the facebook posts, it doesn't look like I missed much.
I really don't know who I would vote for.  I'm completely stumped.
I think, maybe, Hillary, but only because she's been there with her husband and I imagine she's learned from her mistakes.  Trump just seems a bit like a child throwing tantrums, but obviously has some good business skills or he wouldn't have what he has.  We are in such need of a good president.

Today will be a day of coughing, sneezing, blowing and Netflix.
I am going to ignore the messy house. 
I am going to chill out and let my body fight this darn allergy/cold thing
and give myself time to heal from a busy weekend.
Have a blessed day everyone.
hugs

It's a good day

Welcome to a glorious fall day!!!!! I got to sit on my front porch swing with my husband and my coffee and listen to the birds, on a beautiful and much cooler fall morning!!!!  YAY!!! Yesterday was a really good day.  I felt so much better and the weather wasn't so hot.  I was able to work in the garden a bit and went to see my son's band performance.  I got to visit with one of my favorite people and saw my son Justin.  The chickens even came by to have a snack and tell me hello. It really was a good day. Today my body feels good.  It's going to be another good day. I should see if my husband will fill up my bike tires so I can ride around the block. Gosh...when I think of how much time I spent on my little green recycled bike as a child. My oldest brother had a red bike.  When it was my turn for a bike my dad took that old bike, rebuilt it, painted it dark green, and added training wheels.  I drove it that way for a few weeks and then my brothe...

We are not our body

It is a beautiful spring morning with perfect temperatures and a nice breeze.  I've already had to go outside and save a chicken who snuck into a netted garden bed trying to steal my sprouting veggies.  I gave her sisters some oatmeal and she was losing her little chicken mind trying to get out so she could have some oatmeal also.   I was sitting here journaling about a book I was listening to while I was cleaning yesterday.  It's a Wayne Dyer book called, "There's a spiritual solution to every problem", where he talks about vibration, energy, and frequency.  He says you have to raise your vibration to truly connect with God and hear the guidance you need for a beautiful life.  It got me thinking about the body and what the body's purpose is in this life we've chosen to live on earth.  I believe that we are souls living in a body that was created by our parents.  When we are done with this life, we leave this precious body that has helped us ...

Why being offended is causing most of our suffering

 It is a beautiful Friday in January.  The sun is shining and the chickens and ducks are all talking outside.  We had rain a few days ago so the gravel driveway has its low spots full of water, which the ducks love.  They swim in it as if it were their own special pond.  so fun to watch. I woke up this morning later than normal because Bruce and I watched TV until late in the evening, so he was already gone when I came into the kitchen to make my coffee, then I headed into the dining room to do my morning journaling.  We had gone to a doctors appointment yesterday and then went to visit one of our boys in his new apartment. I was writing about a family that I had the pleasure of speaking with in the waiting room of the office. It was a grandmother, her grandson and then her daughter walked in.  The grandmother was not feeling well and her age had made it very difficult for her to walk into the office without the help of her grandson.  I was watchi...
