,
The perennials are wide awake and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Incidentally, here's a conversation I had yesterday:
Calvin - Mommy, what are those flowers called?
Mommy - They are called Lupine.
Calvin - Why are they called Lupine?
Mommy - I have no idea.
Calvin - Uh...maybe because they look like pine cones?
Tell me, why didn't I think of that? Even if it's not true, it sounds pretty good to me.
That's not to say that I don't have jittery moments, but all-in-all, we are hopeful. And a little excited.
One friend responded to my concern with these words: "How can a Father with a heart like His allow his son and daughter with hearts like yours to miss the right answer?"
So thank you, friend. I have carried those words around in my pocket, ever since.
I did not imagine that it would be possible to face an utter, impending loss of income and not be bathed in fear. But I'm here to tell you - it's possible.
To be continued! And happy weekending. We should totally cook-out! I'll bring the salsa. And the goat cheese.
