My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.
Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I’m so happy you are here. I’m an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature’s beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child’s heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you’ll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you’ll find some interesting posts to read!
Out of 3 tomato plants we started with in May from 4-H, this lone tomato is all we got! We weren’t sure bees would come and pollinate it, so we busted out the q-tip and pollinated it ourselves. I think that did the trick. We didn’t get any more flowers for future tomatoes. This is all we got this season!
Well, at least you are spared the task of “putting up” the tomatoes for sauce and such. My father planted tomatoes plants one Summer and the squirrels and birds would take one bite and throw them away – that was the end of tomato plants!

That made me smile Esther … no need to break out the bacon, lettuce, mayo and toast then?
