- The martins are back to their apartment houses Gerald had all ready for them. As they create their nests and prepare to please us with a new generation, they are busy swooping and twirping and twittering . I am happy the barn swallows are back dirtying up our front porch with their annual mud and straw nest there. I cut dead branches off the rose bushes, which seemed to tall up over night and are ...

- After a weekend full of company, Trent and I finally reviewed last night our Vacation Bible School material for today. Again this year, Trent, who will be a sophomore in high school this fall, is assisting me as a helper in my classroom—except instead of a classroom, we are using an area in the back church yard as our pretend island. I was concerned about the heat out there away from the ...
