What a wonderful day, It looks like fall but feels like summer. I went out and picked some fresh tomatoes and picked a wee little pumpkin for my youngest grandson Marshall. It was just his size. The smell of fresh tomatoes just make my mouth water. And the color of pumpkins make me feel like fall is here.
I wanted to make a comment on what a apron does for me and speaks to me. This may bore some of you off your rockers, but it was tugging at my heart strings.
An apron makes me feel like I am dressed to prepare a meal for those I love. To do a job that is much needed and required. I want to fulfill my calling as a women, wife, and mother. And for some reason it makes me feel like it is a small thing. But it gives myself and my family a happy feeling, knowing that when they see Mom or Grandma with her apron on something must be cooking. I love to wear my aprons, and I have many ones to choose from. I like to sew them and give them away.
Now my aprons are not all balled up in a pile, but rather I love to wash and iron them. And have them ready to pick a new one every couple of days.

Roxy, I love that you came back and added this. It touches my heart so much, and truly expresses what I think all of us moms, grandmas, wives feel in our hearts, and lifts up our heads in a reminder of the noble task that it is to be a mama and homemaker, while the enemy wants to steal that away from us, our Lord affirms us.
Love you so much,
Pam
I so agree with you. I never start a day without my apron. I am needing to make some new ones. Mine are getting a bit worn.
Have a great day!

Roxy I loved the aromas of fall you described. Tomatoes and pumpkins. You took me right to your cozy peaceful home. And it brings back memories of bonfires, chili and stars in the evening sky at your house. I loved reading how an apron speaks to you. I still have my apron that you made me and every time I put it on I think of you.
I love you Roxy!
Roxy,
loved what you said about why and how you wear an apron. It filled me with an inspiration to start wearing mine more and it also allowed me to look at them differently. I also love the apron you just made. It is so pretty.
I have been telling MIssy on Facebook that she needs to get a blog but maybe you can encourage her to start one. I know that she would have so many yummy things to share as well. Same with Amy. I miss her too!!!
Love you so much

Hi Roxy,
I have had aprons on the brain for the past week, and I don't know why! So, when I saw Pam's blog, I decided to come over from I Owe it All to Him to say "hi." I love your apron and your inspiration.
Hugs,
Cindy
