Framing Progress...

This is the front of the house coming up the driveaway..
Back of the house...
This is the study with a beautiful triple window overlooking the woods...
This is the great room with double windows and a wood burning fireplace.
Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday again so progress may slow next week...I'll keep updating!

If I take the snow feature off of my blog, will the weather get warmer? 

No School today...

Today we are all sick.  Nini-banini is the sickest of all (so far)..so we are taking a sick today from school.  The boys are playing chess right now wrapped in blankets.    I think this day calls for Netflix science videos, ten mothers soup, and cuddles...lots of cuddles...

Neck and Neck...

Well it seems that two of my farm name ideas are popular, while one is not.
Hickory Nut Homestead and Heritage Acres Homestead are neck and neck...
Please keep voting if you haven't already (-:

Grace...

My heart is heavy today.  Some personal news has been shared with me by someone I love and care about and it makes me sad.  It makes me sad because some parties involved do not understand what it means to have Grace...How do you help someone you love who is so blinded by pride and legalism?  How do you show them how to truely love?  Do you stand by and just let the cards fall as they may?  Do you intervene because of personal experience has told you what will happen next?  Do you try and change fate to save something that may already be dead?  Or do you just pray?...........
Dear Heavenly Father-Please allow this special person in my life to wake up out of this fog.  Please let this happen before this person experiences more loss and rejection by people they love.  Please help this person see the cycle has to stop...whatever is causing this person to do these things-over and over and over-please Lord help this person see that by continuing they are pushing people away-the only people on your Earth that truely love this person.  Please show this person HOW to love...and please Lord use me... use me to be a light and a testimony to this person that your Grace is good enough, that Jesus heals...that thru him, we are all forgiven and we can stop forgiving when God stops forgiving us...
We can change to who he has called us to be if we just turn toward him instead of away from him...
