Family Work Day

 


Saturday, we had a family work day to work on things outside.
Raking the leaves that have already fallen from our willow tree - about 3/4 of our waste can!  Pick up any dog poop.  Pick up sticks.
Autumn trimmed up some of the super long branches.  Some hung all the way to the ground!


Of course, Max loved being outside with us.


Sierra then mowed and I did the trimming.  Autumn also worked on trimming up the rose bushes.  They had gone crazy from the whole summer.

Eric split a load of wood that we had picked up recently for bonfires.

This happens when you are clumsy!!


So, our little front yard looks awful.  In the spring, I applied weed control.  We had so many weeds and clover - it was insane!  Well, it did its job but I soon found out - there wasn't much grass there to begin with.  Saturday, we took a metal rake and tried to get up all that dead stuff to get rid of it.  

Then I wet it all down.  Added some good soil on top and put down new seed.



Backyard looks much better.  It has dead spots but a ton more grass than the front.



After the soil and seed, hopefully in a few weeks, it will start looking better and the grass seed will grow.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
