Another busy week coming to a close here at the Nest. Last day of VBS for the younger folk and then a library visit after the barbecue. Sixteen year old left at four thirty to get to her CNA duties forty five minutes from here. Fifteen and sixteen boys left to be at their morning job of four hours a day, taking down fences, spraying weeds, weed eating, basic farm hands. The seventeen girl and seventeen boy are helping with VBS and then go to their afternoon jobs, another four to six hours a day. The girl a lifeguard and the boy works with the other two boys at the auto doc, detailing cars and combines and everything else as well as just odd jobs about town.
Two more weeks of baseball and next week we will have house guests the first four days, then head down to Boise to watch sixteen year old graduate from the youth challenge. Husband will be here for that.
Meantime, six year old and I set out some cucumber plants we had growing in the house, and some eggplant and mouse melon. We have not tried mouse melon before so she is excited to see what comes of it.
Prayer that we will keep our focus on serving God as we keep busy. Prayer for hearts to prepare as sixteen year old rejoins the family after graduation. It will take some getting used to. I don’t know if the employers will be wanting him to join in the fun, if he will find his own job, or if he will be hanging out with me and the little folk. Wisdom.
