February 2012

Here we go again, a new month, Time just seems to be flying at the moment and I feel that I am being left behind. I look at my kids and see how fast they are growing and how little time we have to be with and teach them it is quite scary. What is more scary is looking in the mirror and realizing I have lots of wrinkles and that I am not as young as I used to be. lol. I am turning 37 this month and WOW the things that I have achieved in  the last 37 years is wonderful. Six beautiful kids, been married for 18 years, learnt how to make cheese, butter, preserve food, build a house, give birth at home, grow vegetables, and find a peace with in me that I am so thankful for. Yahweh has blessed me in abundance and I am thankful for that.

The last 2yrs have been a hug challenge for me and it has shown me that the only one that is ever there is Abba Father, and even though I had turned my back on him the last 2 years as I have gone through my tests and trials I am starting to see that he has been there no matter what even though a lot of the time I have not wanted to hear or more to the point listen . I have also realized that my husband and my kids and Abba Father are my life and that nothing else matters, everyone else comes and goes in your life. I feel New and wonderful things coming to myself and my family in the coming months and I am ready to embrace them and make many more memories.

 

Ok Now that I have had my moment it is time to get the month going. Whoooooooooo

  As I said they are growing sooooo fast.

 

This is our little cutie. Love the curls.

Still loving my flowers. We have had a heat wave that has been awful. I cant wait for Autumn to arrive.

     Ok, so my Birthday. I was very spoilt. I started the day with being taken out to the Belfry Kitchen fro a Red Espresso Dream (rooibos with white chocolate melted in it, yummy) Got home to a house full of people to have a cup of tea and chocolate cream pie, Chelsea Buns, chocolate cake, apple crumble and heart chocolates, when we where all finished laughing and stuffing our faces the next lots of people arrived so all the others left, more tea and cake, :-). They left when round three arrived. Yes more tea and cakes. John then arrived with another chocolate cake, I ended the day with Linda arriving and whisking me outside to a table set for two and we sat and had sundowners with cheese and biscuits.So I was very bless to have a day filled with friendship and lots of laughter. THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL DAY.

So after all that wonderful food I have had to work very hard around the house and in the garden to work off all the calories, I have not taken photos yet but will post them next month as we have nearly finished building, I have moved my veggie boxes around and put up shade clothe to protected the plants, I have been weeding as we have a corner in the garden that had never been weeded so I have been on the weed attack and it did feels so good getting rid of all the unwanted stuff that was around, I have been clearing out the house as well, the load just seems to be getting lighter,  It is good to rid ourselves of all the baggage and start afresh. So here is to a good year with a fresh start. Have a good March Everyone.
