Yard Work

My first Spring/Summer to work on my yard and home without the responsibilites of raising children, or a job. It feels so wonderful. Time to get to know me. While working on the yard I love talking to God and also spending time just listening. Today I was thinking about the Garden of Eden. It must have been absolutely beautiful! I was also excited to think of what Heaven must look like. If the earth has so much beauty in it...just imagine Heaven.
Kari, Charly and Aydan spent the last few days here while Mark and his friend put in windows at their home. I didn't spend as much time with them as hoped for, due to being sick...but the time we had together was very nice..(as usual)
Jerry went to the store to get some laundry soap and some more top soil for my flowers. He is so wonderful! He is always ready to make a run to the store...something I hate to do, he loves to do. We make a great pair. He is the love of my life, and I just can't imagine life without him, but when that does happen it only means that in a short time we will be reunited in Heaven...unless we go at the same time, which would be ideal. hehehe.
As I said before..I'm looking forward to getting to know more about me. I have a new freedom, a freedom I don't want to take for granted. I want to fill my life with new things each day, so that no two days look alike.
