Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

     It’s definitely summer.  We are in the midst of a heat wave.  Temperatures topped out here at 106 yesterday, down from Tuesday’s 108.  Today we’re expecting about 104…..it’s a cooling trend!  Our valley is also filled with smoke.  It is filtering in from the wildfires raging all around us, dropping down into the valley…

     My heart is so full of joy and thanksgiving.  I’m dancin’ a jig and praising the Lord today!  Join me, won’t you?  Check it out HERE and HERE (and hear our church family singing, too!)     

     Saturdays are blessedly full days here.  Today we are blessed to overflowing with work!  We’re remembering to keep our priorities in order, I think, and are moving along.  We’re up against some time deadlines, though, which means time is of the essence.  So long as we meet our deadlines and have our things ready for…

           This is the first year in…..in…….well in a very long time, that I have not decorated my home, inside and out, for the Fourth of July.  I just had that realization last night.  Things have just been busy and any extra time I’ve had for such things has been directed toward other…

     When the cat is away, the mice will play, or so the old saying goes.  I have several little projects I’ve been wanting to get to around my home.  Just shifting of things from here to there, wanting to give a few small areas a new look.  No major room re-do’s, just small things. …

     We play music in our home, almost every waking moment.  It’s quite an eclectic jumble of music, too.  You’re just as likely to hear classical, as you are to hear tunes from the 40’s.  Worship and praise music might be playing, or perhaps soft piano dinner music.  We might be listening to folk music for…

     You all are the best!  You really are!  Your e-mails and messages have meant a lot to me, and I appreciate your encouraging words more than you can ever know.  We’re okay.  In fact, the girls and I were quiet today.      Lord willing, I will be back to more or less “normal” blog…

     I’m still alive.  My days are blessedly full, and I’m working at about half speed while nursing a bad back.  We’ve been quiet at that other place, too.       I miss you all and hope to be back here soon. God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!Proverbs 31:27 

      I failed to mention that there are a few more pictures at that other place.  We’re off to church.  We are celebrating Father’s Day tomorrow with a dinner for seventeen here at our place.       Have a blessed Lord’s Day! God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!Proverbs 31:27 

      Becky asked how we manage to keep up with all of our work when the temperatures soar.  Good question!  The obvious answer is that we try to do as much of the outdoor work and heavy indoor work as we can early in the day while it is still cooler.  I try to get…
