Well after a short freeze, a little southern snow, a lot of rain and puddled ground drying just enough, Little Ricky and I finally got our blueberry and blackberry plants in the ground! We must decide where to plant our fig tree and do that today, along with irish potatoes going in the garden. We also had our septic tank uncovered, inspected, some new pipes laid, and the tank cleaned out - all finished yesterday. AND Ricky got the second most important custom built cabinet up in the kitchen last night so today I get to unpack more kitchen boxes and organize more!!!! Progress. Some days I see none. Other days I see a lot. And Patience. I must say I have had to exercise more patience since our move to begin our country homestead than I can ever remember. The weather and conditions, along with the lack of time and us doing most everything ourselves, will continue to challenge my patience. But, hey, we've been in the camphouse for six months now (I'm done counting in weeks) and actually began the move process a year ago this month, so the fact that I haven't "lost it" (permanently anyway) says that my patience has evolved. Been tried and tested, but evolved. Patience is THE virtue for such a time as this in my life and progress, the goal. And as we daily and diligently seek God's wisdom for each step, we will persevere!
"....and let us run with endurance the race set before us." Hebrews 12:1
