    on the table...

    for reasons unknown, i like my breakfast warm and rather late... if it was up to me, we would eat breakfast around 10 am

    like starting a pot of oatmeal... and letting that simmer and bubble until creamy and so delicious

    i do not like to rush things

    when i do have to rush with the family in the morning, it is though we are all constantly turning in circles and elbowing each other

    being though i have now chopped all my hair off once again, the vanity in front of the mirror happens no longer (what a relief to be done with having it curled or 'done'...) even though my daughter is brilliant when it comes to hair styles with braids and fishtails and pins and curls, it was just not me

    all this expands my idea to eat breakfast at 10am... i don't particularly think that my younger children will appreciate this new idea, so i might just have to make a personal choice

    for a time there, i was getting up early every single day (except the rest day of Sunday) and running down the road... i hate running... never have liked it... never have liked running around

    so on the table one day, ham and cheese scones were at the ready instead of my conditioned muscles, as were sliced fresh cantaloupe that was the sweetest

    i see we have a "scone snatcher" as well

    give a blessing... embrace your day with peace...

    = the garden beckons
    my hair grows longer and I put it in braids
    the cucumbers wind around the beans
    sun bursts through the fence and my boots squeak
    daughter rides bareback amongst the prairie grasses with little sister holding on tight
    baby coos on the sun dappled blanket beneath the giant pine

    a morning kiss to a little one and my coffee mug is filled
    a basket full of scones to take out to Jason sways over the crook of my arm
    the garden beckons
    my hat that was hung on the hook inside this old farmhouse now rests on my head
    more fabric and cupcakes thoughts and prayers

    I will be taking a short break here, but will be checking e-mails. Enjoy your life amongst the heat of the summer and hold onto yourself from the depth of your souls by journeying your life by sacrificing for others and constantly giving to them while thanking Him...

    be back soon

    xo+blessings,
