the battle rages on...

those evil-natured robots, they're programmed to destroy us, she's gotta be strong to fight them, so she's takin' lots of vitamins, cause she knows that it'd be tragic, if those evil robots win, i know she can beat them...

good girl...

...the sweetest thing i have to offer. i've been saving this most sacchariferous picture for a very special day. happy birthday to my tenderhearted friend. you are good-natured & good-humored, surely goodness & mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.

silver lining...

It's amazing how much appreciation springs from a little deprivation. I think I will always try to joy in doing without, b/c the getting back of a thing is so sweet. Remember when we went without an oven for over a year & how when I was finally able to bake, I was little Suzy Homemaker for some time? Also, once upon a time, my little living room was crowded with moss green cabinets for months, but finally we weeded them out & it was amazing how that space seemed so much bigger than before. There have been plenty of times that I've forgotten about my melodious ipod, only to be reunited by a chance meeting, thus having life unexpectedly, joyously, & ever so harmoniously gladdened. And now, after sleeping on a twin mattress for 5 months, I can tell you it is so lovely to sleep back in my own bed. Today I am most thankful for a ginormous oven, more space than I know what to do with, a beautiful night's rest, & my friend ipod to cheer me on. This is a glorious day & I'm so happy to be a part of it.

fugacious sagacious...

I'm feeling so unclever this morning. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Taking a break from being clever is perhaps a necessity. I can't find a picture & I have nothing to say, but I'm going out on a limb here & I'm not sure why. I honestly feel as though I could just write blah, blah, blah over & over & be content to post as long as I'm entering something onto my blog. I'm so ready for spring/summer. I really need to get out of this house. O.k.- I got it- list form of all that's exciting in my life: We switched dog food for our dogs, We have a woodpecker who likes to knock on our chimney (i don't know why he does that, ouch!), we started burning the field where we plan to start our garden, Daniel actually gets his braces on this week (for real this time)(I mean it), we're starting a homeschool group this week, I like potatoes, yesterday I realized our canning room is a great place to hide in case we're ever attacked by a tornado, oh, & I think I've lost about 1/3 of a pound since I turned vegan! (although I probably just gained it back, b/c I had tater tots for breakfast) What else? I don't know, my life is too exciting & I don't have enough room here. I just wanted to pop in & say hi.

beastie...

Last night I found a grey hair on mine own head. Let it be known to all, though I like it not, I am not afraid.
