Weekend Happenings

Last weekend was a happening weekend! We finally had a four or five day stretch of beautiful sunshine so we were outside as much as possible.  It made me long for summer.

We managed to get our trees pruned in February but then it rained straight through to this weekend and we never had a chance to pick up all the sticks.  So that finally happened.  The boys are getting old enough to help now so that makes it go a little faster.  Brandon's friend came over to play as well and he got right in on the action.  The "rule" was that if they helped pick up the sticks they got to ride on top to the trailer and in the wheelbarrow on the way back.  It was great incentive to work and a great workout for me!  ;)

Friday night we went to a wedding and since Andrew and Cheryl were part of it (and it was only an hour away) they decided to come up for the weekend.  We had supper over there Saturday night--again a gorgeous day.

Brandon absolutely loves the peddle tractor and Micah has figured out how to get himself in and out of the trailer for a ride.  At one point Brandon was sick of Micah back there so he took off as fast as he could and Micah ran behind him screaming.  It was pretty funny!

Sometimes the getting out isn't so graceful...but he gets it done.

Sunday we decided to go for a drive up to Mount Blanchard.  Unfortunately there weren't any hang gliders going while we were there but it was still beautiful.  Bumpa and Grandma came with us which made it an extra special trip.

The scenery is breathtaking!

I tried out a new way of taking panoramic pictures--still need a little practice and I forgot to use my tripod, but it turned out okay.  This is my picture for P52 "Details" this week.  While we were up there I kept thinking of all the little details God thought of while making creation.  We see islands, trees, sky, but he designed and created all the "science" behind how all those things came to be and how they continue to change, grow and develop.  It's quite mind-boggling when you look at a big picture like this.

May you see God's hand at work in every detail of your lives.

Blessings.
