Our tomato garden

* It is Spring and my heart is jubilant!
* Been trying to find a spot for tomatoes to grow. It needed the sun, but not the sprinklers, no horses but still close enough for the hose to reach. Walla, here it is, rocks, orchard grass, and sprinkler pipes, perfect. I am going to coax them into growing. I can taste the sweet juice dribbling down my chin.
*We castrated three poor little boy horses yesterday and pulled out their wolf teeth. They crashed to the ground after a shot and couldn't believe what hit them when they woke up. My job was to brush like crazy while they were asleep and get all the winter matted hair off them. Several times they would jump and kick and scare the willies out of me.
* The fields are green and beautiful. We are in the thick of watering. I love the early mornings and evening outside. Wallsburg is a gift.
*". . .for he that will love life, and see good days. . .let hiim seek peace." 1 Peter 3:9-11

Mother's Day

*It is Mother's Day. These are flowers from Marion's Funeral. Last night they sat at the end of my bed with candles. I can't bear to give them up. I have been carrying around Marion's purse, all pink with  sparkles. I am trying to drink in some of her happiness. She was a lady of abundance. The women at her rest home are wearing her clothes and I am sure they are smiling, remembering her.
* I am so happy and blessed this day! I love my children they have brought me a flood of joy.
* I have been grumpy with Tom and for that I am sorry. Today is a new day and I am going to do better.
*"The angels this world needs most are the mortal kind, married to each other, living together in grace."  Wayne Brickey
