Feelin' Antsy

Lets be honest... These are really the only kind of "ants" I have ever really liked. "Ants on a log" I used to make these for the girls for school lunches (remember?) I have, however, gained a bit of respect, shall we say, for these annoying little creatures of God. I've been feeling a bit "antsy" lately. So grab a cup and go on a little journey with me, won't you. ANT- noun
1. Black, red, brown, or yellow insects found in warm climates. They have a large head, inner jaws for chewing and outer jaws for chewing, carrying and digging. They live in highly organized colonies, containing wingless female workers and a winged Queen. Only during breeding season are there winged males.

Now I find much of this information very interesting..... I'll not elaborate..... however.... EVERY ant you see on your kitchen counter is a female..... Just trying to take care of the daily business of life, tending to other family members.... blah,blah,blah..........

I have been feeling antsy lately. I'm ready for school to start. It will soon, about 2 more weeks here. I'm ready for Autumn. The colors, the smells, the feeling in the air....... I want to bake without having to turn on the AC. You get the picture...

I have been getting alot done around here. I believe God reminded me of those who need some of the really cool stuff I have in my shed that I wasn't using anymore. I've been cleaning, sorting, and generally clearing out. I give to to the American Vets Thrift Store. They are gonna score this time around. It makes me feel good. Hmmmmm....Listen to what I believe God is telling me...Act on it..... Feel good....... Interesting......

Proverbs 6: 6-8 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider it's ways and be wise.

It has no commander, No overseer ruler,

Yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers it's food at harvest.


So many projects I have going.... Blessed Babies are coming.... (No not grand babies yet) So I'm knee deep in knitting, quilting, sewing for them. I do like to be busy like this....

I'm itching to get spinning and I have a few weaving projects to get finished up. I also got a new crock pot I'm dying to put into service. Come On Autumn.................... It's soup time around here..........
Blessings to you all... Thanks for stopping by. Sue
