Good morning, friends. What a beautiful day it is! It is a good time to be thankful to the Lord for waking us up and giving us another day.

I’ve been trying to concentrate on all of the little blessings around me. I really want to take them in! There is a lot of beauty in slow living. It seems like my children are growing up before my eyes. I’m sure some of you can relate! I want to hold on to all of these precious memories, and I do that best when I do not hurry about.

Honestly, for the past month or so I have been so intent on taking things in as they come that I’ve rarely written in my planner. I decided I needed to sit down yesterday evening for a short planning session, however. This evening we are going to begin celebrating Passover, and I wanted to make sure that I remember at least the important things.

I also moved my pepper plants to larger pots yesterday. It was so much fun to get my hands in the dirt! I will be doing the same for my tomatoes soon, but first I need to purchase more soil.

We set a trap on my garden last night. It appears that something is digging up my plant starts, and then just throwing them aside. We had a problem with a raccoon doing this a couple of years ago when I put an egg under my plants as fertilizer. I haven’t made that same mistake again, but I wonder what could be doing this. The same raccoon? That would be wild!

One of my older daughters is away on a fun trip this week, and I’ve been enjoying her updates. To be honest, I would love to be on a short trip right now. While I’m very content at home, I think it would be nice to lay my eyes on a palm tree, ha! Maybe sometime in the future.

Let’s dedicate our day to the Lord, and do all we can to serve Him while we take care of our homes. I know He has so much good in store for us!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!
