Earlier This Week

Flowers & a Robin

Abby Moves In

Painting Their Apartment

The Sweet Smell of Earth

 

 

All the rain has created a lot of pretty flowers.

 

 

I have lots of miniature roses.

 

 

 

 

And a beautiful gerbera daisy

 

 

This robin looked so pretty in the morning sun, but I could not convince it to look at me.

 

 

Despite my tapping on the window, something else had its attention.

 

 

 

Abby arrived (from Maine) on Tuesday afternoon, and moved into our guest room until her marriage to Nathaniel in early July.

 

 

 

 

Her car was packed full with many of her earthly belongings.

 

 

The trunk

 

 

There was a box for us – from the bakery where she worked in Maine.

 

 

Oh, yum!

 

 

On Friday I went to the apartment they are building in the basement of Nate’s grandma’s house.

 

 

Stephanie (a future sister-in-law) and Nathaniel’s parents were helping.

They are going to have a really nice place to live.

 

 

On Saturday I knew someone was working in the fields next to us because the sweet smell of earth was wafting in my windows.

 

 

Because of so much rain, the farmers are very late in getting into the fields.

 

 

I think that is why it smelled so good to me this year.

 

 

It seems that they are having to work it more than usual because the ground had been so wet.
