late night talking

It rained and stormed here most of the day... some areas nearby got hail. There are a lot of farmers who are going to have a rough crop this year from all the water and storms. The more I learn the more it seems that farming is a bit like gambling... you just don't know what is going to happen sometimes.

Our rv is still parked outside the house... 6 out of 8 of us have wished we were living in it right now. There is something so peaceful about it. Maybe it is that it's just less of everything. We really don't need much to find happiness.

The girls wanted to go visit Grandma, even though it was pouring down rain. They put on their hoodies and flip flops and walked out the door holding hands. I told them to run, but they didn't. They walked slowly, looking around and talking while holding hands. I watched from the doorway... still amazed that God blessed us with twin daughters. wow!

My garden is growing and so are the weeds! It's so muddy and soggy right now... I'm not even going to try to step foot in it yet. Ozzie played tractors on the edge of garden... in between rain showers. He came inside covered in mud and sporting some wild humid hair!

I'd love to say that all the negativity surrounding our family the last few days hasn't hurt... but it has. I usually have thick skin, but not always. It usually hurts the most when you try to speak the truth and you aren't heard. I just keep telling myself that God knows the truth, he knows my heart and that is all that matters.

I learned how to reply to comments on my blog from my phone {yeah!}... I discovered it while learning how to delete comments on my blog with my phone. You can always learn something!

My husband went to town today and asked me if I needed anything from the store. I replied... "chocolate, all I need is chocolate" and indeed he did bring home chocolate. 3 varieties of organic dark chocolate. Thanks babe, you did good!

and now it's time to call it a night... goodnight friends!
