Saturday on the Mountain... December 6

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🌤️


“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Psalm 34:18 ESV


“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”

Psalm 34:4 ESV


“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?”

Romans 6:12-16 ESV


“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:12-13 ESV

Last evening while

we were getting ready

for our Pack Time

the Fur Kids were

getting some last minute

turns in front of the fire...

We let it die down

before we go to bed...





*****
It's the Weekend!!!
Good Morning Saturday...


Checked on my Girls...
Baby is using Fiona as a pillow again...


And Max quickly
snuggled into his Daddy's arms...


...for Bible Study Time with the Pack...


I decided to do colored lights
on this little tree...
usually do clear white
but I like this better...


Hmmmmm...
yes, Murph is
doing his thing...


But 90% of the time
he does come around...


I just love our fireplace...




Made Breakfast...


Duck Eggs and Avocado...


Out to the Barnyard...


The chickens are
a bit more at ease this morning...
but we did see the hawk in the back...
not a thing we can do about flying predators...





He got hot...


Not sure if they are cold or
if they are nervous about
the hawk visitor...
the Goats aren't bothered at all...
of course, a hawk isn't a danger
to them...




The Goats can hardly get in to their
House for the chickens!


Out the Kitchen Window...



Lanny's kindling...


Fur Kid Dinner Time...
Even Murph was waiting!


I have been experimenting today...
I made some Sourdough Discard Waffles
and we ate a stack for our Brunch...
they were so good...
didn't document it...

For Supper I had some left over rolls from
this week, a couple wieners in the freezer
and a can of chili sauce...
so we had a kinda make shift
Open Faced Chili Cheese Dog...
it was good and it was filling...
what more can you ask from a meal?
:-)


Fiona is usually waiting
and watching the door about this
time of day...
she is ready to go in...


I gave the chickens some
frozen Soldier Fly Grubs...
I thawed them of course...
in the summer when I am
getting a LOT, I keep
some back for winter treats...




Pretty Pepper...


Evening Pile Patrol...


So, the Goats are in for the night...
all the other Critter chores
are done...

Tonight we will watch
"Die Hard 4"...
"Live Free or Die Hard"...
it is one of my favorites of the group...
Justin Long is in it with
Bruce and he is
a pretty good young actor...
Anyway, we are easily entertained...

I think the main thing is that
we are together, on the couch
with all our Fur Kids...
Life is good!

*****

Good Night Everyone...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

Friday on the Mountain... December 5

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

☔️


“We love because he first loved us.”

1 John 4:19 ESV


“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

1 John 5:3, 12-13 ESV


“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 124:8 ESV


“And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

James 1:4 ESV


“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

Hebrews 11:1, 3, 6 ESV


“For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”

Colossians 1:19-20 ESV

Last night...

she is in my spot :-)



I moved her,
but she quickly resumed
her position :-)


*****
It's Friday!!
Weather said 
Winter Weather Advisory...
but it was a dud...
NO SNOW this morning...
I love a bit of snow... :-(


Waiting for AM Pack Time...


Bible Study...


He is thinking about coming down...


...for his Cuddles and Rubs...


Out to the Barnyard...





We had a hawk attack yesterday and these two
feel safer in the water I guess...
I think they are too big and heavy
for a hawk, but I guess
you can't be too careful...





The hawk got one of our
Barred Rock Ladies...
so the hens are being cautious as well...



On our way to the Gym...
very cloudy day...



Lanny made a fire as soon as 
we came home...


Maggie leaves when we
are doing most anything...
she is a bit odd...
then yaps at the door
until we beg her to come in...


Max was very happy...



Makin Breakfast...



Yum!



It's not always easy
to work around this cat!!


Baked the Multi Grain
Sourdough that was
fermenting overnight
in the Fridge...
it came out really good!


Giving me the cold shoulder...


But he did take a couple cookies...


Lanny and I ran down the hill to
do some "Thrifting"...
I was looking for some
cast iron pieces...
hopefully a bread pan or two...
came home empty handed...

Max is STILL enjoying
the wood stove...



Decanted the Sparkly...


Darn!
I made a big InstaPot of
Beef Stew for Supper
and didn't document it...
Paula came over and
we were yakking 
and it just slipped my mind...
but it was beautiful
and delicious :-)

The Goats are in for the night...
all the other chores are done...

We are in our Jammies
and ready for our evening...

Tonight we will watch
the third
"Die Hard"...


Good Night Family and Friends...

"God Bless Us

Every One"
