Growing in Grace-Living Life One Day at a Time

Some thoughts today

Posted on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 04:58

Hello All !

Thought I would blog a bit before heading off on our next camping adventure.We will be leaving in a couple days,but only to stay the weekend and celebrate Merf and Maleas birthdays with some cake ,icecream,family and fun.

I have been in the major homemaking mode here lately and have been going over many ideas in my head for redecorating.As many of you know,we live in a tiny trailer on a hill,but a home is not determined by its size or cost.It is determined by the love that goes into it,and the hands who create the beauty in it are busy hands with lots of heart in them.

Hopefully as I go along and redecorate from room to room I will be able to take some pictures to share of the before and after.I wrote all of my ideas down,and dont expect them to be accomplished overnite,but am hopeful to get a few things done by end of summer.I want to start in my laundry room first and paint it a nice cheery color and add some decoration.I have picked up a few things for it at yardsales and cant wait to get them up.I love old aprons and came to a yard sale one day where a little ole lady had placed several of handmade vintage aprons in her sale for .25 each.Her mother had made them and she really hated to part with them,but it made her feel better when I told her I would put them to good use by using them as decor for my laundry room.I hope to get started on this a couple weeks after we get back from camping.

Lots of things have been blooming in the gardens.Most of all I enjoy the wonderful honeysuckle scent splattered all around my yard.It is so nice just to sit out there and smell the sweet breezes.I am about to hang some mints to dry for teas.They smell wonderful also.The yellow primrose,purple spiderwort and maroon lambs tail are blooming.They are especially beautiful early in the morning when I am out there for quiet time.Soon the lillies and hydrangea bush will be in bloom.Oh the joys of summer.

Well,I have went on and on about some of my thoughts today...........What are some of yours?

Hugs,

Rachel

Oh, I love to be in that "homemaking" and "in the mood for a different look" mode. It's fun. I hope you've been enjoying yourself the last few weeks. If you are able, update us on your blog with some pictures.

God bless~ Andrea
