Kittens born in the garage the day before are now in the proverbial clothes basket in the house. Their mom, Ruth, our oldest broke her dad down as a young girl and kittens in the house was set 30 or more years ago.
Such a wonderful shower for Bobbi put on by the Verlys! Some of them met Bobbi for the first time and shared how lucky we are.... Yes!!! She is a gem and such a special addition to our families.
Rose is such a wonderful assistant to Bobbi at all 3 showers! She finds the card to be read first, than she helps open, and then models the present for all to see. She seems almost as excited as her soon-to-be Aunt Bobbi to see what each present holds!
Joy, with Aunt RaTerra and a visiting puppy... sharing crackers together in the light.
A very special time just 2 weeks from the big day we will share celebrating John and Bobbi!
I am in heaven... the lilacs are at their peak! LOVE!
The baby corn plants are up and wondering where the nice warm weather went yesterday!
Family job of putting cows and calves out to pasture.
The pasture that is a long way from home... Cows and calves are so happy to be on grass!
The last load at sunset...
Pentecost Sunday... the Church begins as we are filled with His Spirit and become his hands and feet!
Roses and lilies and a very special Rose!
Love family time at mass and after... plan to go to Ruth and Paul's for a family breakfast. Pat reminded me of how since his dad died in 1996 we would go over to his mother's after mass and share breakfast with her... that is a deeply ingrained and cherished tradition!
Sweet times together are the best!
Joy is a big girl on booster at the table. She two fisted doughnuts!
Meeting Black Jack the day old kitten...
John and Bobbi humored me with some lilac pictures by the grain bins - a tradition for the engaged in the family before!
Our Lady reflected in the lilacs!! So glorious is she in our lives. Through her "Yes" we have found LIFE/LOVE/LIGHT as the Holy Spirit animates our existence!
Godson, David, climbs the apple tree to give bunny ears in the apple blossoms.
Adorable rock pickers from 3 years ago! We will be starting to pick tomorrow... Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barbara Mary Luke
While unloading rock wagon kids asked why we picked rocks from the fields. My response is that as farmers we care for the land and our equipment. David thanked me for picking up the big rocks so he doesn't have to lift them in the future. Oh the stones we move for the kids so they have a clearer path. Don't worry boys, there will be more rocks to get next year!" Paul's words are true... plenty of rocks this year!
