The Month of August

Hello friends and neighbors!
This year has just flown by! It’s hard to believe that Summer is almost over!
For the Discher family, August consisted mainly of everyday life, but there were a few exciting incidents that I will be highlighting. Hope y’all enjoy!

We were blessed to be able to pick two  apple, a pear and two white peach trees!

Emma Janey was toothless most of August!

Our Jersey heifer with a dislocated hip gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl one rainy day!

One evening after a storm, the entire property was golden! I felt like I was in Narnia! This is the last of the glorious sunset that night.

Daddy’s birthday was the 10th of August. He wanted to go to the creek for a picnic. So that is what we did. 🙂

Daddy with his bunch of fresh picked grapes!

Some ate.

Some swam..

While others threw rocks across the water, seeing how drenched they can get their opponents.

Splash!

Time for revenge!

A truce was called. We really are great friends!

Swim time’s over!

On the way home we surveyed our domains. Oh wait. That’s not ours.

Bible time with Daddy!

On the 17th, our friends, the Paynes, hosted a Law and Liberty tour with Mark Rushdoony, Bojidar Marinov, and Dr. Paul Michael Raymond. Grace and I were blessed to stay at the Paynes, help them prepare for the conference and serve these well known speakers. The conference went really well and I hope many were blessed by it!

 On the 25th we went to Ms Mandi’s (our Pastor’s wife) house for her housewarming party.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

Telling stories.

Titus 2 women!

Emily and I. 🙂

“Left foot, right foot.
Feet, feet, feet.
Oh how many feet you meet.”

And finally, the most exciting event of the month! On August 29th, 2013 Kitty entered into a courtship with a family friend of many years. Benjamin Tombstone! Umm.. I mean Graves! 😀

Back to seriousness.

Ben came to visit in June and asked Daddy’s permission. Daddy said to wait for a couple months, and he did! 🙂

I hope y’all enjoyed this blogpost as much as I enjoyed putting it together! How did you spend your Summer? Tell me all about it in your comments! 😀
God bless y’all!
