In my summer kitchen…There is less being cooked in the kitchen as we enjoy summer grilling! We’re enjoying summer fruits and veggies.
In my summer yard…I have been trying to increase our flower gardens by dividing and transplanting. I have divided tall phlox and hostas. I am going to put my mint in areas where nothing will grow. I purchased some ever-blooming day lilies which are a pretty deep maroon color. I have more annuals that usual too. I’ll share pics in another post perhaps tomorrow.
On my summer reading list…I am reading “Breaking Free” by Beth Moore. I won’t be done anytime soon because I am purposely going slowly, reading small bits and looking up the passages and taking time to think it over. I need it to sink in. Freedom is too precious to rush! For fiction I am making my way through the “Yadda Yadda House of Hope Series” by Neta Jackson. All of the Yadda Yadda books are such an encouragement to me in praying and relying on God for all things.
On my summer plans…This Sunday my Ladies Bible Study is putting on a birthday dinner in a local little community. The people who live there are either elderly or handicapped in some way. We’ll bring dinner, a birthday cake, and God’s love! I am excited!! I am looking forward to welcoming back my son when his missions trip is over, of having my mom here and my sister and family, of time with friends and church family at the beach and playgrounds, of having the kids’ friends over for campfires and singing, and taking the kids to some summer movies. I also plan to have lots of family fun at the beaches, around the campfire and just relaxing!
On my summer to-do list…We’ve been doing over Rachel’s room. We also plan to: paint the hallway, re-do the full bathroom upstairs, fix up the deck and to keep beautifying the yard. I also promised myself to work hard on school lesson plans and schedules and to get Tyler’s transcript done and look into colleges with him and plan possible visits. I also want to keep decluttering. We’re at the sacrifice stage of getting rid of things I would kind of like to keep but don’t really need.
