Multitude Monday: One Thousand Gifts


To learn more, visit Holy Experience, and join the Gratitude Community ...

So much to do ... busy busy ... since moving to the beautiful farm.  We have moved, arranged, rearranged, cleaned, organized, plowed, planted, watered, thinned, weeded ... and so much more.


This beautiful place has brought such blessings ... it seemed fitting to begin our lists again ... anew.


#1  This beautiful farm, our family's long-awaited "forever" home.
#2  Cherub 3's efforts, long and labor-intensive, fencing and preparing ...
#3  Our family's a mighty army when we all work together.
#4  Dry sunshine-filled moving days.
#5  Snapper mowers ... which mows grass, pastures, and blazes trails.
#6  A beautiful library, only 12 minutes away, with shelves seemingly to the sky.

#13  Brushlines filled with bits of bright red promise .... blackberries not-quite-ripe.
#14  Spring peepers and bullfrogs -- our nighttime lullaby.
#15  Tilled soil ... planted seeds ... and high hopes of a bountiful harvest.
#16  Brain storming and barn planning ... and lots of quality time with our equines.
