Good Morning from Mae's House!
Well we thought it was going to freeze this morning, so last night the boys and I ran around covering all the tomatoes , plus a bunch of pepper plants I just set out on Sunday. We had atleast over 60 plants to cover!! And after all our work I believe it never froze, wouldn't you know it! It just 36 F right now. But i guess that's good, because some our coverings were only shopping bags anyway, so may not have helped alot any if it really did freeze! So now we have to uncover everything his morning! We will keep everything close by though ,I believe its a chance of frost again tomorrow morning, and it may be for real this time!!!
Planting
Yes we have done some more planting since last week. Besides pepppers i set out, I planted more green beans, yellow squash, zuzchini, and cucumbers. Plus Nathan planted pumpkins over in my brothers garden. He has big plans of selling them, and of course letting mommy bake him some pies and cakes too! This will be our first time of trying pumpkins. It will be interesting to se how they turn out! We are not really big time gardeners, we just like to plant for our own use (I freeze and cann alot), then if we have extra we give it to our nighbors, may sell alittle. I just love gardening!
Update on Mae
Well your probably wondering how my wisdom theeth pulling went last week. Well it went completely fine! The dentist pulled both at the same time, so I am all done! It was certianlly nothing to worry about. With the numbing stuff it didn't hurt at all. Really!! It was all over before I knew it! Glad I got them all pulled and done with. The only down fall is that probably now I have no more wisdom!! Oh well I can always pray for more!
Comments
Oh, for any of you that had problems leaving a comment, well I think i have that fixed now. I checked my settings, and changed somthing. So should be no problem leaving comments. So please do, I love hearing from my readers!! Also wanted to add those of you that have been keeping up with my blog so far, have probably noticed a new color to it every time they checked my blog out!! I keep tying out new colors and seeing how they look!! Was not satisfied with how it looked. But i think I will stick with what I got now! So no new colors in the near future! ( no promises though)
Memorizing Bible Verses
Just wanted to share what we have set up for our oldest boys to memorize bible verses. They both have their own verse to learn each week. Nathan ,almost 9, has a harder one, and Clayton going on 7, has a bit easier one. I write down their verse on an index card, and either they read it them selves or I read it to them several times a day, everyday durring the week. Then by Sabbath they are to say it to us by memory. I have made them each a chart, and if they can say their verse sucsessfully, they get a star for their chart. For Clayton when he get 3 stars in a row on his chart ,we get him a little prize . For Nathan I have it little more challenging, when he get 5 stars in a row we get him a prize. So far Nathan has not missed a verse this school year!! They are both very proud of their accomplishments! They try very hard to learn their verse to get their stars and to get the prize! I think its a fun way to help them memorize verses and learn the Word of God. I am learning most of their verses right along with them too.
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sing upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children ,speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way ,when thou liest down, and when thou riesest up. Proverbs 11: 18-19
Well I will close for now, need to make the family breakfast, and get ready for another day of school here. Aslo must run out to the garden and uncover everything!!
Have a great day! In Christ, Mae
