On my mind ...

This is a Friday photo feature that anyone with a blog can join. It opens the door to us sharing our lives with these photos and gives us all a new way to discover each other, and maybe form new friendships. Your photo should show something at home that you're thinking about. 

To take part in this, all you have to do is post a photo, titled On my mind ..., write a short caption explaining it, and link it back to here. When your photo is published, come back and add a comment below, with a link to your blog photo. We will all be able to follow the breadcrumbs in the woods that lead to each new photo. Who know where these trails will lead us.


Today I'm thinking about new lives.  The picture tells half my story - babies, but I am also thinking about my sister, Tricia, who is moving from her huge old home today, to a very cute 1940s two bedroom cottage.

  1. Hi Rhonda! Thank you for stopping by my blog last week!

    I have babies on the brain too... just no babies yet! I follow this blog written by a new mom who lives here in Phoenix, Arizona nearby me. She and her husband are raising their baby girl "naturally." And she blogs about it often throughout the week. I thought the blog might prove beneficial to the new mommies and daddies in your life as she talks fondly of cloth diapers and an organization called Eats on Feets (a breast milk outreach program).

    Her most recent blog is below:

    I'm glad your family is safe from the flooding! Good luck to your sister in her move! Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Please excuse the second post, but I thought this blog post of her's was particularly moving. It is a recount of her at-home, natural birth. Warning- there is some real talk involved, but it is worth it. Quite the moving experience:

  5. My thoughts are little different from last week, except procrastination is no longer an option!I must get lamb coats made before the lambs do. So I too am thinking new lives only from the barn.

  6. No blog. Just a couple of notes.
    Am thankful you and Hanno are safe and sound and prayers for the people who have been affected by the flooding.
    Also good thoughts for Tricia as she begins making her new house her own home.

  9. Rain is on my mind this week. We have more water than we know what to do with (although nothing like Queensland) and it's the priority today to get some pumps running and to move it - somewhere.

    I hope your sisters move is a smooth one and she enjoys her new home.

  13. The floods are on my mind, as I live in Brisbane. Although we are safe, thousands of people's lives have been disrupted, many homes and businesses destroyed.

    The river is uncontained. It is spilling out all over the city, spreading muddy water, all sorts of debris and contaminents wherever it goes. People are scared, tired, displaced and shell shocked. Even though it hasn't hurt me directly, I still feel very unsettled.

  14. A new door opens for your sister. May she be blessed in her new home and may it be full of love and happy memories. Glad we are now getting some try weather here on the sunshine coast. We are of course very fortunate and my thoguhts are with all these families devasted by the floods.

  17. On my mind today is whether I buy the book, 'Nourishing Traditions', or whether I keep borrowing it from the council library. I'm impressed by Rhonda Jean's comments on it and have also found and read many supportive comments on other sites and blogs. Also on my mind today is the flooding that continues to devastate eastern Australia.

  19. http://theserendipitycafe.blogspot.com/2011/01/flood-crisis-worsens-grocery-shopping.html


    We are located in Brisbane, with a flooded lower level. My husbands business has been washed out over recent months and now due to the big flood we have no known recommencement date. Budgeting, food planning and empty supermarket shelves are very much on my mind today.


    Much love

    My heart goes out to all those in Queensland who have been affected by the floods and cannot enjoy such simple pleasures. I urge anyone who has not yet made a donation to do so.

  24. Hi Rhonda,
    Sunflowers are on my mind today. Apparently all you need to grow them successfully is record breaking rain!

  25. Hi Rhonda,
    Having Grandchildren is such a blessing isn't it?

    On my mind this week is what to plant in my garden.We only moved here 18 months ago and this is the first year that my kitchen garden will be up and running properly.
