Gully Washer

Day 233/365
We had record rain fall last night with lots of local flooding, road closures and wash outs. Thankfully, we didn't have much damage, just a little water in the basement and some deep ruts in the driveway. With Davin out of town, it was up to Jevin and me to fill in as much as we could to make it driveable.

First Day of School

Day 232/365
And just like that, our summer is done! It was back to school for these kiddos today, with Enavi beginning 7th grade and Jevin embarking on his freshman year of high school. We have a major change to our schedule, with Jevin taking two classes at the high school. Praying that these two would both continue to grow in wisdom and stature as they dive into this new year of school.

The Lift

Day 231/365
It's not every day that you have a huge lift in the yard. The roofers are coming this week, probably on Tuesday because of the predicted rain for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting our remodeling project underway.

Work Day

Day 230/365
We spent the day catching up on yard work, cleaning out the shed, cleaning off the porch and preparing for our new roof. The kids worked just as hard as we did and we were able to get everything checked off the to-do list.

Blanket of Dew

Day 229/365
We have had some hot, humid weather since our return from Minnesota. It seems like everything has been covered with a thick blanket of dew, drops delicately suspended from blades of grass, flower petals and spider webs.

Favorite Cookies

Day 228/365
Enavi has been on a baking kick the last few days. Yesterday she made banana bread and today she made her favorite cookies: oatmeal with chocolate chips. They were delicious!
