Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

This afternoon we finally had another Thursday Library Day at Grandma’s house.  Oh, I do love having my grandbabies here; and I cannot tell you how good it feels having all of my children under my roof at the same time, even if it is just for a few hours!  All of my treasures, my…

Porch building took the forefront again today, and my boys assistance was needed, off and on, throughout the day.  All the infrastructure of the porch is such hard work, and takes so much time.  I know, though, that all of this time and labor building the strong foundation will mean a porch that will, Lord willing,…

We enjoyed a spectacular light show last evening, courtesy of the Creator of all things.  Thunderstorms developed in the foothills just a few miles to the east of us, and the lightning display was incredible for our part of the country.  All throughout dinner we watched out the school room windows and would loudly, “Whoa!”…

Just in case I am scarce, here’s what we’re doing: Dani is back home, safe and sound, and we are enjoying catching up.  She enjoyed her time at Lisa’s. My husband is busily working away on our front porch. My boys are homeschooling, talking to their sister, and “supervising” Dad from the front windows. I’m working…

Today I worked through my day by working a little, then resting a little, working, resting, working, resting……..  You get the idea! It’s quite possible, though, to still enjoy a day like this.  I might have had to walk slower than normal out to the orchard to irrigate, but the slower pace allowed me to…

My family is scattered today. Copper took a vacation day from work.  He and Aaron drove an hour or so this morning to participate in a work day in preparation for our church’s Reformation Party this evening.  They will be down there working all afternoon. Dani left before 8:00 this morning to drive the hour…

Always thankful.  Always looking for His hand of mercy.  Looking always and in all ways.  My son who cannot concentrate today – through the frustration of trying to help him focus I am still thankful for his exuberance and vitality.  For the blessing that he was, and still is, to this older mom.  The seemingly…

My husband is the hardest working man!  He’s been laboring away on our front porch all day today.  Lifting heavy beams, measuring, cutting, nailing.  The boys have been helping as they are needed.  Aaron was the muscle on the other end of especially heavy lifting, and Will painted the tops of the beams that were…

     Xanga, my blog server, has been having some “issues” for the last 24 hours with uploading photos.  If the issues persist until later tonight, I will post without photos (sigh).  I’m hoping, though, that the problem will be fixed  by then. God bless you as you look well to the ways of your households!Proverbs 31:27
