Since nobody called me out on it yesterday, I shall call myself out on it.
I quoted a verse from Proverbs 31. But, if you recall, I only quoted the first half of the verse. I hinted this to you by saying Proverbs 31:16a.
Let us examine the full verse, shall we?
We shall.
“She considers a field and buys it; (this is the part I conveniently stopped at)
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.”
Ok. The real Proverbs 31 woman would be so disappointed in me. I don’t have any earnings from farm and ranching. And I do not have a vineyard, but I do have a garden. And there are two lambs living in it, along with a mother hen and her eight chicks. So obviously, it is a garden to be envied.
I posted in haste last night and I left many things out. Let’s circle back, shall we?
Waylon.
Ok. Waylon is the name of our bull that David ruthlessly murdered because he felt Waylon was worth more to him as ground beef as a friend.
Waylon made a lot of ground beef. David said 700 pounds, to be exact.
We have already sold some and this is one of three freezers full:
Fun fact. I bought the bagel bites from Costco as a “deal” that they would not be eaten until school started.
But someone did eat them. Before school started.
Now, if I had one child, this situation would be a no brainer. But I have four children and I have to choose my battles wisely.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that not one of my children ate them NOR do they know who may have eaten them.
It is truly a mystery.
But, I digress.
Waylon.
When I got to camp on Saturday, Waylon’s heart and livers were scattered all about the river property. Like a full week after he was MURDERED. At a property other than the crime scene.
And I would like to open this time up for people to guess why/how that happened.
Go ahead. Guess.
Kate.
Kate is a child of mine who also wears glasses. And when she packed up the tent, she rolled the glasses up in them.
What can we conclude from this?
We can conclude that Taylor is not a good rearer of children who wear glasses. That is what we will conclude.
I want you to all know that I am one lucky duck. For I have a mother. And she likes to keep me informed.
And today, on this very day, at 5:10am, she informed me not only what the weather was like at her house, but also, what the weather was like where her sister lives in another state.
Mom: It is chilly this morning! It is 44 here and 32 in Dillon
And, Readers. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have weather reports from not one, but TWO places she does not live at 5:10am.
And, finally.
Here is the boys back to school photo.
Me: Ok, there shall be a photo! No ifs ands or buts! And you shall stand up straight and look NOT like you want to murder someone!
#Nailed It.
Dear Teller you are stellar!
I’m loving the Costco ice cream I spy in there above Waylon! That is a staple here for Friday night ice cream night. (I had to limit it to one night a week. My husband’s scoops are ridiculously large.)
The boys look very handsome! FYI: private schools ruin boys for khaki shorts FOREVER.
Life is so exciting with children in the house!! And a husband! And other relatives living close by! Congratulations on your entire family!
The hen and chicks and lambs sound like they are enjoying life in the Garden.
