Now and Later

Yard Work! I just love yard work, especially when it involves planting. Today Hannah and I worked together to beautify part of our yard.

These are to enjoy now!

And these are for later!

They will pop up right behind where Hannah is planting the pansies.

Here is our finished product. The lamb's ear was already there. It just had to be trimmed back.

In this middle section, we have jasmine trying to grow in the back with some irises. Also some herbs and, I think, ganzania that came back from seed.

This last section looks almost identical to the first. We were aiming for a symmetrical look.

Looking forward to enjoying this bright spot in our yard.

Wordless Wednesday - Hannah's Latest Creation

Grandma and Grandpa Rose

Alot of prayers have gone up for Theron's parents. God has been gracious and has allowed us to see many of them answered. On September 8, 2010, Grandpa was hospitalized with a punctured lung and several broken ribs (although we were initially told there were no broken bones) after a fall several days before. This is one tough man!

He started out in one hospital and was trnnsferred to another and then another after his condition worsened. Finally on October 8, 2010 he was moved from Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, TN to Parkwood Nursing/Rehab facility in Snellville.

The biggest blessing and answer to prayer is that he is better and that he is close. Maybe it's a bigger blessing that we can get Grandma and Grandpa together again - visiting at least once and sometimes twice a day. No more 3 hours drives for Grandma and only visiting every other day.

Thank you, LORD!

Which Came First, The Waffles or the Egg

 Well, in this case, the waffles come first. The picture download process is different than I am use to and therefore my pictures are in reverse order. Since I don't have time to rearrange them, I am going to run with it the way it is. As you can see, Hannah is very proud of the waffles she has just made!
She did everything except take them out of the waffle iron. That was mom's job.

 She measured the batter and put it into the iron at the proper time.

She mixed the ingredients by hand. She likes to use the wooden spoon.

I had her put her hair up, but I forgot to have her wear an apron. Oh well, the flour brushes off anyway.
She carefully follows the recipe from the Bread Beckers cookbook and reminds herself to put the egg into the bowl and the shell into the trash and not visa versa ( she has obviously learned from her mistakes).
