Saturday on the Mountain... May 3

Quiet Time in Bible Study...

☔️🎶

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”

Psalm 8:3-4 ESV


Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”

Matthew 6:25 ESV


““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19-21 ESV


““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

John 3:16-17 ESV


“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.””

John 3:19-21 ESV

Hello Saturday...

a little wet, but wonderful all the same :-)



Waiting for Pack Time...


It rained pretty hard last evening
but we only got 1/2 inch!


Pack Time Bible Study...
Listening to the waterfall,
the birds and an occasional train whistle...
oh, and a loud plane went by once :-)



Getting a good rub!


Maggie is adding to the
"dent" this morning...


Garden Time...


And time to feed the Fur Kids...


Took the soaked and dried nuts
out of the dehydrator...
they are so crispy and
so good for us!


Heading out to the Barnyard...


The fish are frisky
after a rain...




Lucy...
she and Ethel are STILL
sleeping on the fence,
no matter what the weather is like...
she is soaked!



The new fish are doing great
and the ducks don't seem
interested in eating them!





Pup Treat Time...




Look at the Bee on the Comfrey...



I am so anxious to
see these in bloom!


These are beautiful
and smell so sweet...



The Sweet Spire are not very pretty
but are native so the pollinators
like it...



And the Wisteria is very sweet smelling as well...
The Hummers LOVE this!



A rew Rosę Petals a Day
keep the Vet away...
just made that up,
but they ARE good for them...






Pup Pile Patrol,
and checking out the Peach Trea :-)


Drizzling rain,
and the goats are not amused :-)


Perfect time to Pressure Wash the drive :-)


And ducks LOVE rain!


Lanny got a hankerin' for a Burger
so we ran down to Git-N-Go :-)
I always check on the kids with the spy cam...
they were in their house, out of the rain...


And these two were in the front room
listening for the car...
they just don't have a life
without us...


Brown Headed Cowbird...
I love these guys...



Fresh Mushrooms
(White and Crimini)
going into the Freeze Dryer...


Fur Kid Dinner Time


And I made this 
HUGE loaf of Sourdough Bread...
it rose WAY above my expectations!!!
Hope it tastes as good as it looks!!


Barnyard is ready for the evening
before the rain started...
We are heading for showers and Jammies..

We will be continuing with 
"Pirates of the Caribbean"
Number 3... At Worlds End...
not our favorite...
we think someone was on drugs 😜
...or maybe we are just getting old!
But it leads in to the next one, so.....

Friday on the Mountain... May 2

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🌿🌤️

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 1:6 ESV


“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Psalm 103:1-5 ESV


“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.”

Psalm 103:13-14 ESV


“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

Isaiah 26:3 ESV

Last night while we were

watching our movie...




*****
It's Friday!!!
Ready for the weekend!


He slept at his Daddy's feet
all night...
but he still waits
to cuddle in the morning on the couch :-)



Bible Study Time...



Holding hands 💗
He sure loves his Daddy...


Lettuce Time...


Pecans and Almonds are drying fine...
they should be ready this afternoon...


Fed the Fur Kids their Breakfast...


Everything had such an unusual tint...
we thought the sunrise might be pink,
but it wasn't...






Daddy Treat Time...




Out to the Barnyard...




Pup Pile Patrol...



Well, the fish we bought yesterday
seem to be doing very well in the
Dirty Duck Pond...
none are floating
and they seem to
be happy schooling around.




Momma Mountain Swallow...
doesn't budge when I open the front
to peek at her eggs...


My Herb Garden...







Cherry Tomatoes are growing like
WEEDS :-)


Cucumbers...


Big Boy Tomatoes are slower growing...


Told you Miss Pepper
was a sneaky little gal...


She is in he Dog yard...
the grass seed is sprouted now tho
so she isn't getting any of that!


Finally, I see some green nubs
on the Fig Tree...




The Girls are enjoying
the fresh branches their Daddy brought them...


We headed down the hill
to pick up a mat and some
stepping stones at Home Depot...
and pick up a Tractor Supply order
for Paula...


Shetlands were out...






Passed the Ponderosa Guineas
at the bottom of our driveway...
they never stay home :-)


Sparkly Day...


Baby loved 'em today,
but not Fiona...



I called the Chickens
to give them some...



They love 'em too!!


The Girls also like
Oyster Crackers...


I think the new fish 
are going to be fine...


I opened up a little area we had
fence off for a previous project
and the chickens are now in
BUG HEAVEN...


Paula gave me these Asiatic Lilies
a few weeks ago that she just pulled 
out of her pot
and they are going to bloom!!!


Blue Bird Babies
are growing...
but smart enough not to move now...
I won't bother them anymore
because they will soon be big enough
that I might scare them
and they could fall 
out of the nest...


I am SO happy
that the pond is back to normal...


Baby likes to sit on the Feed Box in the shade...


Downey Woodpecker and Goldfinch,
together on the feeders...



Momma Mountain Swallow
getting a breath of air...


I decided I wanted to chill
a bit on the hammock...


Murphy came to join me...



When I laid down on the Hammock
I could smell the Wisteria
and the Roses...


Max liked it in the shade...
but he wanted to be out there
with me...


Murph laid beside me on the ground
but wanted shade...


Maggie however, wanted
IN my lap!



The other Climbing Rose...
I cannot wait for these buds to open...
it is called Legend of Rossi and is
deep mauve...

Afternoon Grain Break...


And nibbling with the chickens
in the newly opened area...


Getting out of the sun...
it's really quite warm today!


Nuthatch...


Fur Kid Dinner...


Daily Rose Ration :-)



The hill where Mom and Dad are resting...



Made Salmon Burgers for Supper...
on my Bread...
better than buns :-)


Our Lettuce, a Granger County Tomato
and Salmon...
Pretty Darn Good :-)


Went out to talk with the critters
for a bit before we buttoned up
the Barnyard....




We are getting ready for the evening...
Tonight we will continue
"Pirates of the Caribbean"

Good Night Everyone...
