Well, here on the suburba-farm, on a rare day of no outing and synchronized naps, I've gotten quite a bit of stuff done. We've been blessed with late September weather in the middle of August. 70's, breezy, and sky the most perfect shade of blue.

The future makings of tomato, basil, mozzarella salad-just add balsamic vinegar ......

What's going on at your place?
As far as adoption updates, the Hidden Treasures auction as blessed us with nearly $1500. Basically that's all of trip one, 100% covered. We still haven't heard a peep about actual travel dates, though our verbal referral should now be an official signed referral.
I added a web gadget of sorts, for coup-aid. They offer the option to purchase $50 worth of gift card, by way of Restaurant.com for $20-$10 goes to the organization, and $10 to our adoption fund. I'm reluctant to campaign too much for funding, as folks have been beyond generous. However, if you want a cheap eat out night, and feel like kicking in to the adoption kitty to boot, feel free to click away. I am confident we are probably very close to funded, but really have no way to know precisely, as the fees are not yet squared away. God will provide, regardless. Of this I have no doubt.
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 0 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Matthew 6:28-34 NKJV)

Love that chapter of Matthew! And your flowers are so pretty.
Excited to follow your journey. We're adopting a little boy from Pl*vn. We met him in June and started the adoption process a week later!
Just found your blog. Love the picture of the flowers -- they are beautiful. So glad Penny has a family.
You are right, HE WILL provide!!! (I remember getting close to the end as well and not knowing how hard to keep fundraising....I stopped but God still brought in 2500 more and i am very glad he did!!! We are using left over money in our account to buy formula for Simon before our insurance kicks in. :))
Blessings to your family...keep up the great work!
Thank you all! Mr. P. loves the dahlias. I've never grown them before, but will certainly do so from here on out.
