Remember the caterpillar we watched last week?

Well he hatched a few hours earlier than I had expected

and we all missed watching him!

I found him just as he took off flying across the kitchen!

 

We canned our first ever pickles yesterday!!

Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will equality, as it is written: "He that gathered much did not have too much, and he that gathered little did not have too little."

2 Cor. 8:13-15

Easy Wool yarn.

For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, 

because we do not wish to be unclothed 

but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
