some happenings around 314

...which has nothing to do with the movie "the happening", because i heard that it was scary and just sounds like a horrible movie!!...!!!

starting with some comparisons to the growing that is going on in NC and around 314:
  • 314:





lettuce and tomatoes seem to be doing well. zucchini was coming up pretty well with the squash, but they seem to be taking a breather and waiting on the cantaloupe. also there is fun insect growing (as long as they stay outside)...orange spider eggs that reflect sun quite beautifully.





  • NC growing: when i was about 7 or 8 years old, my Paw Paw Tom (Dad's dad) gave me a peach tree to plant beside our house at Groff St. Mom and I stopped by when i was home to see the house they are moving back into and check out the size of this tree...and it's peaches!! Peach Pie anyone?

also, there has been some cornhole assembling in the southwest!! the midwest in the southwest, woop woop! cornhole will be tested out in tomorrow nights cookout.



my friend/co sister risa made some homemade bagels. this is quite phenomenal in many ways, considering she normally bakes fabulous cookies, instead she made fabulous bagels and even mentioned considering making it a "new thing" to make bread.





last week was also VBB: which was so amazing. what a privilege it was to be able to serve these children. they are wonderful. spunky. full of life and wonder. what a blessing it is to be able to see these children worship, pray, and dance before the Lord at such a young age. May the Lord continue to draw this generation to Him.

And praise the Lord for the leadership that helped bring mountains of details together for this week. All their blood, sweat, and tears was for the eternal glory of God. Heaven had to have been rockin' with us!



here are a few pics from the incline: beautiful sunrise, cool morning, worth the pain.

Did you know that corn is the largest of the grains in the grain family? And by the way, who painted the wonderful pictures? That's frickin' great!

no i didn't know that about the corn. however, did you learn that fact about corn while living in indiana or afterwards...surely you have to learn about corn in IN schools, right?

i was priveledge to be able to paint the corn. raleigh and risa did the idea creating, so it made my job easy.

we played last night...and i'm pretty sure it will be more addicting than badmitton.

At least you won't be stomping on hickory nuts while playing cornhole. Ouch. I think I still have one embedded in my heel from competitive badminton in the backyard.
