“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.””

‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Hello Thursday...

Brrrrrrr!

Waiting for Bible Study...

Bundled up waiting for Daddy...

Lanny started the fire for us this morning...

Max needed a cuddle or two...

And then he went back to the fire :-)

Quiet Time Bible Study....

Gardening Time...

Eucalyptus...

I think I need to put these in a bigger pot...

Fur Kid Breakfast...

Making his Breakfast...

And sharing....

Out to the Barnyard...

Double Brrrrrrr!

Huddled by the gate...

waiting....

Corn is supposed to warm them up...

We left for my appointment around 10:30...

passed our Ponderosa Buddies...

I was surprised that the camels were out...

but they didn't seem to mind :-)

My back looks good (the surgical part)

and the compression fracture is healing...

so...

I can start doing more things (as if I wasn't already)

and even do some stretching, bending and exercise

as long as it doesn't hurt....

the muscle strain/spasms is still ongoing

but like he said...

I had the surgery and then broke my back 

(the compression fracture)

so I set myself back a couple months...

slowly but surely...

My bone density showed osteoporosis 

so he will send me to another doctor...

I am already doing dietary changes

and now will start the exercises

so hopefully the new doc

won't try to make me take

medicine....

We went by Gordon Foods cause I needed

some parchment paper sheets

and some Cumin...

Then we went to Applebees

and had one of our favorite dishes...

sorry, we ate it ALL before I remembered

to take a picture...

It WAS Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp,

with Onions and Mushrooms

and Garlic Mashed Potatoes...

YUM!!!

Just got this picture of

Thaniel and Katie...

Aren't they SUCH a cute couple!!!

Thaniel is our first Grandson

for those of you that don't know :-)

We definitely won't need dinner tonight :-)

so we will snack

and enjoy Movie Time...

"Kate and Leopold"...

Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman...

The Barnyard is buttoned up

and ready for COLD temps tonight...

And we have plenty of wood

for the wood stove!!!

Good Night Sweet Family and Friends...

““Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!””

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever; they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance. The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever. For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭37‬:‭16‬-‭19‬, ‭23‬-‭24‬, ‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.”

‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

““‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Hello Wednesday!!!

It's SNOWING!!!

So pretty!!

The usual set up...

Murph takes a spot,

Maggie is offended...

but then she forgets...

...and comes on over :-)

Quiet Pack Time in Bible Study...

Poking the fire...

Checked on the Girls

and they were cuddled in the warm corner

under the ledge...

Snowing...

Time to take care of the Garden...

Max in his usual spot...

Fur Kid Breakfast Time...

We will fast today

so they don't get

Daddy's Breakfast Treats ...

Pretty, pretty!

Temps not cold enough to freeze anything...

yet :-)

Idiot Birds...

They roost on the platform fence

EVERY night...

rain, snow, sleet or hail...

IDIOTS!!!!

And the ducks were out WAY before dawn...

Sparkly Day...

Heading out...

I LOVE snow...

at first :-)

The snow barely collects on them...

chickens have very high body temperature...

Maggie is ready to check things out...

but she did it quickly...

Ducks!!!!

Baby doesn't usually mind the weather,

especially snow...

They have fresh hay

and grain in their house

so they can be comfortable

if they have to 

or decide to 

stay in most of the day... :-)

I put the spent beets,

some older cottage cheese

and the Sparkly Berries

and some other kitchen stuff

in a big feeder bowl under 

the awning so it wouldn't

be snowed on...

...the chickens are enjoying it!

The Ladies are snuggled together

to keep warm...

...and the hens just like 

being in the Goat House...

I grabbed a picture of our Isabelle

off Facebook...

she is SO lovely!!

Her nickname is VeggieBelle

because she says she loved

Veggie Tales SO much

as a kid :-)

He was locked in his shop

burning some wood

and had the black smoke all around

his nose in his mustache :-)

He burns the pretty pieces

to bring out the grain...

Feeding the Fur Kids their Supper...

ALL of them getting rubs...

For Our Supper

we had Steamed Asparagus,

Mac and Tomatoes, Fish Sticks

and Garlic Bread...

The Goats were hovering at the gate

like they do when they are ready for a treat

and to head for the Goat House...

They went right in and settled down 

for the evening...

the chickens get Corn and Sunflower Seeds...

AND,

I had the ends of the asparagus

and some scraps from dinner....

I don't give scraps to the goats

but the ducks and chickens like 'em...

*****

 The Barnyard is ready for the night...

we did as many chores as we could

in the snow :-)

Ready for a cozy evening

with the Pack...

Tonight we will watch

"The Bodyguard"...

Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston...

*****

This video was taken a couple nights ago...

the Girls were NOT

cooperating with me at bedtime :-)\

Not Ready for Bedtime!

It's pretty funny :-)

*****

Goodnight Everyone!

God Bless You All

and

Sweet Dreams!
