secret fishing holes

Every true fisherman has his share of secret fishing holes..

Mr. T is no different

One wonderful day this summer

Mr. T took the Blessings

and the California kids

to one of those secret spots..

and fishing commenced

and catching commenced!

so much excitement

and bug spray

and reminders of HOW to behave on a dock

catching is THRILLING

but littles need the help 

of patient big people

and Mr. T

is VERY patient with these little people

and C.S. is VERY patient with little people...

helping putting on hooks

that got lost in branches

like these

patient teaching HOW to cast

I enjoyed the flora

and the flora's friends

and the wanderers

and the early dew on the trees

there were fishermen & women all about the little fishing hole

it was VERY quiet..

except for occasional 

excited exclamations from Little Man

there was SO much to see

so many fish to catch

and spending time with friends

before they move far far away

is very much a blessing

quiet mornings

make my heart feel peaceful

I love quiet 

secret 

fishing holes

…

do you?

California's

Having the California Family come up to the farm

was SO MUCH FUN!

They are such a joy, worked so faithfully alongside us

all the while we enjoyed good fellowship in Christ with them!

I love these shots of them after a hard days work on the Farm.

Here is Mrs. California with their WONDERFUL dog 

Leeloo…

We love dogs here at the farm..

but are VERY allergic…

Leeloo, was SO obedient and faithfully stayed in the 

great hall only

which is SUPER easy to clean and keep aired out…

Leeloo really got the Blessings all bellowing for a dog..

and Machine Man is in love too..

Ohhh for Hypoallergenic hunting dogs..

maybe some day..

really dogs as well trained and obedient,

as loving and affectionate as Leeloo

are a tribute to all dogs everywhere…

we were glad to have her come and visit.

Mr. & Mrs. California not only brought their beautiful daughters

their fun dog

but Grammy

who our whole family adopted as our 

Grammy too…

We love love love this beautiful family!

And are SO glad they came to celebrate 

Memorial Day with us

at Blessings Farm!

The California's!
