about the navbar

Hello all! You may notice that there is no navbar on the top of my blog page! I found a link that has  written steps and video tutorial on how to remove it. It's extremely easy.

Here it is: http://blogxool.blogspot.com/2009/10/remove-navbar.html

Let me know if you try it!

Pictures for you to Enjoy!

Blueberry Pickin'

We went a pickin' blueberries a few days ago!!! Some friends offered their amazing patch of berries to us! They were the most beautiful, fresh, luscious berries I have seen in a long time!

There were some tall bushes!

God's great big beautiful sky!

My sleepy little cousin.

Blueberries against a darkening sky.

With the last kiss of the sun, dark clouds rolled in and the rain fell in torrents on the parched, dry ground. The Lord answered our prayers.

Hope ya'll have a blessed weekend!

Of Canning and a . . . haircut?

We canned green beans yesterday and were able to acquire 14 jars! I believe they are quart size.

Yes, I'm afraid the jars are really crooked in the picture. 

The rock they are on is not so smooth...

Such a lovely green!

My little cousin, Haydon.

Isn't he a cute? But be warned! There is always mischief sparkling from those blue eyes!

Helping with the cucumbers.

By now you're probably wondering what this all has to do with haircuts. I shall relieve you of your suspense with a short story: 

"Once upon a time a little boy of 4 went to visit his aunt, uncle, and cousins. Haydon, for that was his name, went one beautiful summer's day to play outside! He explored the small plot with great delight when he all-of-a-sudden came upon the most dreadful of occurrences! A pair of scissors! 

Soon he was merrily sniping away at the lovely golden curls by his forehead! His eldest cousin was promptly horrified to find such a tragedy had happened and vowed never again to leave her scissors outside."

The End

Hope this story has made you laugh. But never, under any circumstances leave a child alone with a pair of scissors!

Blessings, dear readers!

Summer with a Purpose~Week 2

Hello all! Hope ya'll had a beautiful week! For this wk of Summer with a Purpose, my cousins came over! We picked wild blackberries along the quiet dirt roads and sang until we were hoarse! We also journeyed to the river for some swimming down the rapids! Work in the garden was fun as well!

Cucumber blossom!

Working on the massive bush beans. They sure got big!!!

Some lovely helpers!

^What we harvested^

I also got some sketching in! I based this drawing of a little boy from one of Tasha Tudor's drawings:
