When I stepped outside this morning the cold brisk air caught my breath and I smiled. There is nothing like fresh mountain air in the fall. It is clean and snappy. When it fills your lungs, a smile is forthcoming... Fall is my favorite season. I feel the urge to bake bread and make stew. The down comforters, feather beds and sweaters are pulled out from their summer slumber to keep us warm and cozy. It is chilly tonight as I write this , about 39 degrees... I want to snuggle under the covers put on some soothing music and read! (Just as soon as I finish the dishes, bathe the girls, mop the floor , put up the laundry and pick up. ;)
Willow's blood and urine test for her kidney's (because of the contaminated milk in China) were normal as was the ultrasound of her kidneys and bladder! She is a big baby now and potty trained so was able to go in a cup. God is so good! He has kept my precious treasure from harm. I am so thankful to him.
We had a lovely weekend, enjoying -- probably the last walk on a particularly warm day where the temperature was mild 67... our last day of short sleeves for a while. We woke, grabbed something warm to wrap around us and went out on the porch to read from God's Word and discuss scripture together. Each morning begins with Him. Our budget has been tight so we decided to make create a snack with whatever we could find on hand. Sage named it "Ambrosia" , an appropriate name as it was smooth, sweet and delicious. The girls were all pretty proud of their accomplishment and I was thankful it didn't taste awful! Later the girls used vegetables to make art. They were creating some wonderful master pieces until it turned into finger painting, and then body art....lol I enjoy their free spirit. The moon was also still peaking out volleying for attention so I accomadated him. ;)
