Summer Fun

Tuks has been praying to Jesus with me every night. We hold hands, and then I pray. Lately, Tuks takes my hands again and says she wants to pray to Jesus. She prays holding my hands and Bear bear's hands, and I hear her say Jesus, Einie, Bear bear, Mama etc., and then finally, Amen. It is so cute, and I am not sure of all she is saying, but I know the Lord does and he loves the heart of an innocent and trusting child.

Her behavior is so much improved, I think we have turned a corner. If she starts acting up, I can now reason with her and relay possible consequences, and it stops her in her tracks. My baby is growing up!!

I have also been making fresh salads from our garden about every other day and she insists on helping me wash it off. She even knows the difference between the good lettuce and various other vegetation mixed in. She will hold the "other" stuff up and ask "Mama, does this go in the garbage" And you know, she is right every time. She also loves to eat the lettuce as she is cleaning it. The weather has been so wet,
and cool this summer, that my broccoli, beans, tomatoes, and onions may be a huge flop. I am just starting to get some cucumbers, carrots are coming, squash is growing and the tomatoes are just flowering.....


What is the saying "the best laid plans........"
