Dancing Flowers

By Rebecca

 There is so many flowers blooming. I got some pictures of some of them with my awesome new camera.

 I love theses purple ones.

 Close-up

I think it is really cool how the first flower is out of focus but the flowers behind them are in focus.

 The roses are lovely. I have never seen so many at once.

 God is so so so so creative.

 I love how this one turned out.

 I love doing the close-up ones.

 The side of the rose.

 Love this one!  :D

 The rose were dancing in the wind well I was taking pictures of them. It was a beautiful site.

Planting the garden

Last week the kids and I planted the garden.

See? :)

John was the plant delivery man

Rosie was our amazing can put-er on-er. :)

And Becca watered everything in.

'Am I doing it right?' :)

Also, as you recall we planted potatoes about a month and a half ago... Well, this is what they look like now.
"The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance..."

Happy Birthday Becca

Becca's 12th birthday was two days ago, but we have been so busy I have not had time to blog about it until now. Shame on me!

A few random things about Becca:

• She is a good cook
• She loves the Chronicles of Narnia
• She is great at photography
• Little kids automatically love her
• She has a servants heart
• She runs the 'Chicken Out Hotel' 
• And she is quite beautiful

Happy birthday Becca! Thank you so much for all you do, and I love you!
