Welcome February!


Photobucket

We welcomed in February with alot of fog and a cloud sitting right on our house. But we are looking forward to the spring for we know not to much longer before we feel the warmth of the sun and are able to do lots of fun things outside

This week sewing is but merely a day dream as I have been so busy with getting caught up with the laundry...

and finishing up with our lesson plans for school.

Quite the acomplishment though I have the next 40 days of work all planned out with projects, research papers and worksheets for the chapters 5 & 6 in the Weaver Volume 3. The children will be studying The Brain, Insects, History of Time, A good review of Gravity, The Solar system as well as a biographical notebook on some famous scientists....

Which has left me hunting high and low for all sorts of books to fill these objectives. And making me feel so thankful for our home library.

Mr. Watts was busy this weekend building the children a pen where they could take their rabbits out safe from the dogs in the backyard. Here are some snapshots of his wonderful handwork and the rabbit pen.

The Dogs are wondering why we won't let them in to play ????

And another week brings another farewell to Mr. Watts who travels with his work. He has some exciting work trips planned for February and will be visiting many countries some of them are Japan, Korea, & Singapore. And although it is hard to say goodbye to him all the time. We are thankful that his work allows us to stay home and be so well cared for. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful man as our provider.

May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.


I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
— Psalm 59:16
"From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens: the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house, and the garden of the mind's eye."- Katherine S. White

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant."- Anne Bradstreet

"Wan February with weeping cheer,Whose cold hand guides the youngling yearDown misty roads of mire and rime,Before thy pale and fitful faceThe shrill wind shifts the clouds apaceThrough skies the morning scarce may climb.Thine eyes are thick with heavy tears,But lit with hopes that light the year's."- Algernon Charles Swinburne

  1. The rabbit pen looks great! Mr. Watts is a very talented woodworker! I will keep you all in my prayers as Mr. Watts is traveling. We went through a few years like that too. It's tough but manageable with God's grace.

    I loved your post below too! It is sometimes tough to march to a different drum, but I love what you wrote about it. I'm going to have to copy it out into my journal!

    Blessings!

  3. Hi Heather,
    I like the little flag in your garden, and flowers! Oh my, they are only a thought in my part of the country right now. Cute little pen for the bunnies. My hubby travels too, so I know what's involved there and how God always sees us through.
    Blessings to you,
    Anne

  4. Oh, my! Heather!
    That Rabbit Pen is adorable! I love the pickets ~ so very Potter~ish! I am sure the bunnies approve!
    How exciting for your hubby to travel to all these exotic places! Though I'm sure it is hard for you both (and the children, also)to be separated so often. I will be praying for your sweet family during his absence.
    Blessings!

  5. Mr. Watts is certainly enjoying being a homeowner dear friend!

    It is hard to say goodbye so often to your beloved, but always know that you are not alone while he is away...not only are you surrounded by your children, the beauty and peacefulness of your home but Our Heavenly Father and Savior never leaves you!

    The "bunny pen" is just adorable! Yes, I think Beatrix will surely approve :)

    Blessings dear friend and lifting you up in prayer for the week while Mr. Watts is away.

  6. My what a handsome couple you both are! Good for you on having all that work planned out; I'm sure it makes things go much smoother. The rabbit pen looks wonderful. I like it that there are seats for sitting while visiting the rabbits.... very nice. May the Lord grant Mr. Watts safe traveling mercies and bring him back home to his beloved family. May the Lord grant you peace while he is away.

    Blessings,

    Continued Blessings!

  8. From the pictures, I see you have quite a beautiful home! I hope you're enjoying the warmth of February in California! In New York, I'm freezing cold in temperatures of 10-20 degrees, and ever-falling snow. Brrr! It'll be spring soon, and then the winter will feel as if it passed so suddenly (don't all the seasons?).

    You left a very encouraging comment on my blog to the post concerning Friendlessness; thank you! May God bless you!
