Fold the washing, make another cappuccino and settle down with a new book about foraging...
Write a blog post and format photos, before closing up the house as the cool winter air descends.
Gather what is needed for dinner, set up my audio book on the kitchen bench, and begin cooking.
It's been a contented and productive day around our little quarter acre. Thank you Lord. xxx
May your days be filled with the joy of the Lord, and may He give you a plan and purpose for being productive, creative, generous and contented in your homemaker life, for it is a very high calling, and we who answer the call are blessed indeed.

Beautiful. Thank you.
Such a sweet post today! Love all the pictures of your garden and your day. We forget to thank Jesus for all the little joys he gives us. He is such a good God and we are so blessed! Thanks for sharing your joy of being a wife and homemaker. It is a good reminder to me. We are getting ready to move for a year to try somewhere new. So many things to do and it is easy to get rushed and not thank Jesus for the little joys he gives me. He is blessing us in so many ways already and I am trying to keep track. It really is overwhelming how gracious he is. Have a lovely weekend. K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
Hi Jennifer,

Such contentment there on your little homestead - I love it so much! Mom went to her sister's for two nights, I caught up on sleep and actually vacuumed and mopped, amazing the lift it gave me. Thanks be to God for these blessings!!! Love you girl!
You are a blessing!! Thank you!
What a blessing to open my email and see this post! I too am having a very blessed day and love to see that others are as well.

You can’t get a much better day than that.
Your posts always lift my day, Jennifer! So glad you are feeling better. Contentment in the ordinary everyday things is so, so rewarding. Bless you!
I just love your beautiful back garden!! So peaceful! I remember when you bought your house, you weren't too sure about the pool...such a nice blessing for you!! Been missing you.
What a lovely day. xx
I adore your sweet simple post and seeing all your photos of living life fully each day. Blissful! XO
Thank you Jennifer, I love your roses! And what a lovely book!! I think I will get it we had a lovely few days in our camper van, an d converted mini bus! Of22 years in Donegal. Lovely to get your beautiful blog post and lovely tell a story photos! Thank you Mary-Lou
Mmmm I can smell those beautiful roses. Your garden is a credit to you. Hard work done with care and love.
You were a busy lady. The roses are so pretty. Our cucumbers didn't do so well this year but I had plenty of tomatoes. Now with the heat in Texas our garden is fried now.
Oh and your scones looked real tasty.
Have a great week.
Dearest Jennifer,
I love seeing all the pictures of your bountiful gardens. And hearing of your day. I am trying to play catch up on several days worth of email and office things today. It just never seems to end. Always so much to do . Have a blessed day/ night Dear.
Jenny, thank you for sharing a lovely slice of your life in photos, words and inspiration. I hope you received my email. Keep up the lovely sharing …
