A Pioneer Birthday

~It has been a long two month wait for my prairie girls ~

~With the warmth of spring and the settling of life this celebration could finally unfold~

~A pioneer house was set up with~

~Pumps ~

~Washtubs~

~Clothes Pegs~

~And laundry line~

~Food popped like the pioneers~

~Seasoned with old time flavour~

~Canning jars for sipping apple cider~

~Gift pails with an old-fashioned candy stick~

~

Many friends made perfect pioneering fun.

So many memories in the making that this mama has not one single photo of the entire party in action!

It was a precious day going back into pioneer time!

Lavishly Lively

~

It has been one of those lavishly lively weeks

Where every second is spoken for…

~

~

With the beautiful busy of two boys

~

~

Tonka Tracks

~

~

 A near empty fridge that hints of the need to leave my haven in these hills

~

~

Surviving on the last handful of hodgepodge made into a steaming supper

And Love
~

~
Always Love

Thoughtful Learning

~

It was another beautiful week in our school.

With just one room and the whole glorious world as our learning space,

spring's awaking thrills enhanced our gratitude and thoughtful learning.

Paciferous Prairie

~

On a pinprick of paciferous prairie

We found family and fellowship

Laughter and tears tangled together

We sought solstice on a weekend we remember surrender

Allowing love to splinter our souls

~

Ambers of Grace

~

In that late afternoon craze of pounding feet, tired bodies and lose tears

Heaven glazed our earth in gold

Folding small hands into mine we trailed the winding river under a canopy of grace

Unfolded the days stress across a meadow

The strokes of memories painted a miracle

Embedding the ambers of heaven into the fabric of souls
