Homecoming and July 4th

Just returned Sunday from Jeffrey's 2nd Deployment Homecoming. His Company arrived on base Friday night to the great joy and relief of their family and friends. I pray this was his last deployment but since he submitted re-enlistment paperwork before he returned home I don't know how realistic that is. Regardless I know the Lord has His hand on my family and I am grateful for His continued covering. Since my last post Hubby has his chicken coop finished, chickens are growing fast, shouldn't be but a couple of months and we will start getting eggs. Didn't put out a garden this year but have some Tomato plants starting to bloom. We've already been harvesting Blueberries and Blackberries. Troy's mouth is watering for a Blackberry Cobbler. I guess that will be our dessert tonight. Several invitations to celebrate the 4th but we decided to spend a restful day at home. We feel like Homecoming was an adequate celebration : ) But we will have burgers, potatoe salad, and baked beans for dinner. Have a wonderful 4th of July and stay tuned for some new poetry in the near future, lots of words rattling around in my head, I will post as the Lord leads me.
