Sunflowers 🌻 turn according to the position of the sun. In other words, they “chase the light.” You might already know this, but there is another fact that you probably do not know!⠀ ⠀ Have you ever wondered what happens on cloudy and rainy days when the sun is completely covered by clouds?🤔⠀ This is an interesting question.Isn’t it?⠀ ⠀ Perhaps you think the sunflower withers or turns its head towards the ground. Is this what crossed your mind?⠀ ⠀ Well, that’s incorrect!⠀ This is what happens:⠀ They turn towards each other to share their energy.🌻✨🌻⠀ ⠀ Nature’s perfection is amazing. Now let’s apply this reflection to our lives. Many people may become low-spirited, and the most vulnerable ones, sometimes, become depressed.⠀ How about following the example of the beautiful sunflowers 🌻i.e."Supporting and empowering each other". Nature has so much to teach us.⠀ ⠀ Wishing everyone a "Sun flower"🌻 trait of turning towards each other on their cloudy and gloomy days.⠀ ⠀ Spread goodness...it will come back to you...

23 YEARS!!!⠀ ⠀ Happy anniversary to the only o

23 YEARS!!!⠀ ⠀ Happy anniversary to the only one that gets my crazy and loves me anyway.⠀ ⠀ Thanks for putting up with all of my crazy ideas (homeschooling, backpack food programs, essential oils, blogging).⠀ ⠀ Even encouraging them...some sooner than others ;)⠀ ⠀ * For eating every dinner I made with a smile, even before I had a clue how to cook. I know some of them were REALLY bad. Also for NOT eating the good recipes I made for the blog until I got all my pics...even if it was cold.⠀ ⠀ * For being a great hustler, provider and hard worker for our family. For seeing the value in me staying home with the kids to raise them first hand, and sacrificing so many things to make it possible financially.⠀ ⠀ * For overlooking messy houses and unfinished projects to spend real time with each other and those we love.⠀ ⠀ * For being the best dad for our kids. God really did a stellar job choosing you to be their dad. They wouldn't be the amazing people they are without you showing them how.⠀ ⠀ * For allowing me to feel safe enough to really open up my darkest places and be vulnerable around another human being. You have no idea what a gift this really is to me, thank you. <3⠀ ⠀ * For encouraging me to push past my fears and try new things, no matter how terrifying they may seem.⠀ ⠀ * For holding my hand through every struggle, every doctors appointment, every vet visit, every disappointment and every triumph....there have been SO many over the years.⠀ ⠀ Some of the things I've learned along the way:⠀ ⠀ The early years are not the best ones.⠀ Marriage is HARD!⠀ But then it is amazing!!⠀ Then it's hard again.⠀ The person you marry is not the same as the person you will celebrate with at year 5, 10, 15, 20, etc..⠀ You cannot do it without God.⠀ You learn how to do the forgiveness thing really well.⠀ Learning to pray together is a whole new level of intimacy.⠀ Real communication can go a long way.⠀ It gets better over time.⠀ It's an amazing adventure.⠀ Sometimes it helps to have outside council.⠀ No one really wins a fight.⠀ We need God more than we even know.⠀ Most of all a good marriage doesn't just happen. It takes sacrifice, effort and a steadfast love.

Looks like I’m making dill pickles! Found all

Looks like I’m making dill pickles! Found all of these hiding under all of the squash and zucchini my neighbor blessed us with the other day ❤️

We found that six of our chicks laid their first eggs yesterday 🥚 Which was perfect timing as we just ran out of eggs and I really don’t love grocery shopping these days 😂

Aren't these beauties are just showing off today <

Aren't these beauties are just showing off today <3 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you have a favorite flower? I love so many that it is really hard to choose. But every year, when these ones bloom, I realize just how stunning they are. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We started by planting two small plants that each had 2 - 3 blooms on them. Look at them now! There are so many, I couldn't even fit them all in the photo.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In about another week they will all be gone.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I could easily miss them completely if I didn't take the time to notice them. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am learning to enjoy the beauty that is all around me while I can. Because the reality is that things are not meant to remain the same forever. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Life is all about seasons. It's a cycle of dying to the old, regrowth, changing and new life.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I know that once these lilies have faded and died, they will return once again next year in all their splendor. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But not exactly the same as they are this year, they will be slightly different. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The cold winter will change them. They will grow stronger as we return to spring once again and then will come their time to show off in the middle of summer <3⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I cannot help but think how this is exactly what my life has been like - a serious of dying, growing, changing and new life. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I bet you can see the same "seasons" in your own life too. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Each year they get bigger and better and more marvelous and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for me next year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But for now, I am going to enjoy each them in all their glory.
