{22. MARCH}

By -

 As usual, time has slipped by. Covid recovery took more time then I really liked and as spring began, everything from meetings to garden work to ministry began to pick up again! We found ourselves busy and quickly. But we found time to get away and a family. We found time to do what we loved - and that's to adventure in nature together!! 
Once again, the pictures went in backward, so if you wanna start at the beginning of our month... scroll to the bottom and work your way up! lol Otherwise, enjoy snip bits of our March! 

this guy always finds the mud ... no matter where we are! 

seriously the sky is always gorgeous first thing in the AM 

another shot from my morning walk 

teaching brother how to sew buttons on 

Silly homeschool shenanigans ... with a warm drink 

2022 Mum's Day! 
One for the books! 

Off lead and happier then ever! 

pure joy! 
No brick walls and nothing but
joyful squeals as the sun warmed our backs and we found all sorts of nature friends 

we spent mother's day weekend in nature! 
And it did not disappoint! 

Mum's Day is also in March here in England -
and I got the sweetest cards for my kiddos. 

Captain Cook's Monument for dinner! 

Weeknight Mini-Adventure Take One! 

March brought a lovely and delightful visit from these guys ... our GEM field leaders. 
We were so excited to host them for a day or two. We shared a little bit of what life with them, put them work laying compost in the garden, took them through market, and enjoyed stroll by the Tees river. 
So thankful for their encouragement and support. 

this is near high street. I much more traveled and active road then those by us. 

i took a few mornings and on my morning stroll with the pup, 
took some shots of our area..... 


FIRST DAY OF SPRING! 
We've made it! 

morning walks are much more enjoyable with the sunrise! 

March brings more sunshine -
and after a long winter, we are soaking in as much as possible

looking good team! 

finally getting in and getting dirty! 
In the month of March we laid 4 rows of compost
and are achy to get in and plant now. 

worm whisperers! 

this kid and worms! 
He must attract them! 

after a long few weeks I ended up in hospital for tests following covid. 
thankfully, the tests came back clear - it's just gonna be long road ahead. 
And looking back now, I'm so thankful to be healthy and normal once more! 


time to spurse up our "yard" 

And then climbing trees! 

I love that there are always trails ... 

followed by a picnic in the fields 

FIELD TRIP - Butterfly World! 
It as SO fun. Not sure who had more fuN!!?! !

and tried to put it into more related terms for a British school kid

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

PRAISE GOD!! It is with the greatest joy we announce that our family has made it to the 50% mark in our monthly fundraising goal! Praise God! With that being said, we are setting new goals and continuing on with eager anticipation as to how God will work in the coming months. We've set some goals and are praying to be at 80% by October so we can attend the month long pre-field training near Asheville, NC. Our goal is reach Stockton-on-Tees at the beginning of the new year! In other news, God has been answering prayer here in our simple way of living in our front yard! I am writing a post dedicated to how God is moving and what we are doing, but until it's all done, I'll just recap it quickly. God has been bringing folks to our yard, expanding our friends in the neighborhood and making old things new and beautiful. Our front yard is now a gorgeous oasis of light and beauty and we are excited to have more summer meals, parties, and conversations around the new rock p...

Sunday morning, watching The Pond before church  Well we finally have some form of internet out here in the boondocks. ha! Hopefully that means more posts... but I wouldn't hold your breath. So until I get better at this blogging things and keeping things up to date, here's a little recap and some fun highlights of where life is now. (and of course there's tons of pics at the end and thru it, because, well, i'm much better at capturing life then writing about it! ha!) First, Highlights! -Eddie is a cruising baby now. Dude, you are amazing at pulling up on just about anything and have only taken a few little falls. Determined to get to where you want, there's not much that keeps you still now, except food! You love food. Recently learned how delicious Ritz crackers are and watermelon. Bananas are still a fav though along with any fruit really. -We began fundraising!!!! WOOHOO! It's been a week on the trial and we are sitting at 8% already. Our goal i...
