And then it was monday

Ephesians 4

²⁵ Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. ²⁶“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, ²⁷ and do not give the devil a foothold.

This stuck out to me today as some old hurt crept back into my heart. What kinds of footholds does the devil have in your life today?

Tuesday Green Team

32 days

32 days till graduation! The countdown is on!!

This afternoon I took Anny for a walk. She is being such a pill today. While we were walking I found a new trail that goes off into a wetlands management area. It's always fun to go out on a walk and discover something that was so close and fun that you didn't know about. It's a perfect trail for us and just follows the railroad through the prairie.

Oddly, the prairie has really grown on me in the last 4 years. I didn't live far from the prairie before but since I moved to Morris and have taken a few plant classes I view the prairie completely differently. The grasses are beautiful and there are a nice variety of wild flowers. Not that there is much original prairie left (cough cough farmers...) but I really appreciate what is still there.

Have a good week!

Lunch

I started packing my own lunch a few weeks ago. It feels a little 'old fashion' which I kind of like. By packing my own lunch I saved a few dollars and a ton of calories. And, of course, I pack my lunch in my trendy blue out-doors lunch box.

And there are always pistachios in my lunch box, which makes for a happy afternoon.

Alien Dog!

Yes, she's a little odd. But wonderful. And naughty. And I love her.

Weekend crochet project!

I started this on Friday. I really like it. Its a little too bulky but for a first try I'm pleased!

Pets (Pests?)

Ugh! This is one of those weeks where you wonder why the heck you ever got those stinking pets in the first place. Anny runs away, we can't find her till the next morning, both Anny and Harriet are shedding EVERYWHERE, Anny tipped over the entire garbage and dug it all out, and then to top it off yesterday Harriet dug up my basil, tomato, and pepper seeds AND decided to jump in my box of potted lettuce. SO MAD. There are now four deep depressions in my box of little seeded lettuce. I'm getting over it. Although Levi wasn't very sympathetic (he likes the cat for some reason).

But then there are mornings like this morning where Anny will be so sweet and just sit by my feet as I make coffee and look at me with those big brown eyes. Sigh, then I'm just not so mad anymore. Harriet on the other hand... I honestly don't think there is anything sweet about her. But Levi loves her, which is sweet. A boy and his...cat? Huh. :)

I'll post pictures of how my lettuces are doing soon!
