As I was eating my breakfast (or, more like it, brunch!) this morning, I looked out over the backyard and saw the "corn fence" behind us.  It was just such a serene view, with the sunlight highlighting the corn tops, creating just a bit of haze.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love this time of year!  The craziness of the fair is done <\/p>\n

(although we generally enjoy that craziness!), <\/p>\n

and the garden isn’t bombarding us yet.  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just a quiet moment on a quiet morning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I look out a different window (our sunroom has ten!),<\/p>\n

and see this sweet picture!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After few more minutes, I see that the little cutie patootie<\/p>\n

has sweet-talked his sister into a "big one" push!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ah!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is why I have lots of children!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is why I homeschool!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is why I love life on a mini-farm!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love these quiet, sweet blessings from the Lord!<\/p>\n
