“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”

II Corinthians 9:6-7 NKJV

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.””

John 16:33 NKJV

“Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; 

Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.”

Proverbs 16:5 NKJV

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”

Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV

“But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—

and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—”

I Corinthians 1:30 NKJV

“Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. 

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; 

A stranger, and not your own lips.”

Proverbs 27:1-2 NKJV

Good Morning....

It's Wednesday!!

And quite warm...

Bible Study Time....

the door is open,

but it is quiet this morning...

Sparkly Day...

Out to the Barnyard...

It isn't raining this morning...

"knock on wood" :-)

Bernadette is taking the high spot this morning...

The Littles have been out more

the last few days... they were getting

pretty thin sitting in the

nest box all day...

It's easy to keep

your Ducks in a Row

when there are only two :-)

Blue Birds are building again...

eggs will come soon :-)

Admiring the fish...

They are pretty active this morning,

stirring up the water...

Paula and I headed down the hill

around 9:30 for our Weekly

Sister Run Around Day...

We went to the CoOp and bought

some bird seed...

...stopped at Tractor Supply

as we got into Oak Ridge 

for some Chicken Feed...

Lanny has a certain brand

he likes for me to get :-)

Then we went to Aldi's for our

main shop...

I checked on the Pups

and of course they were in the

Pouting Parlor...

It didn't rain on us in Oak Ridge

but it was raining at home

and when I checked on the Goats

they were inside resting

while it rained...

We went to Freddy's for lunch...

We like Freddy's...

half the fun is the music...

Oldies!!

...and I know the words 

to every one!

Then we went to Kroger's

for a couple things that

we can't find at Aldi's...

we also ran by the

Meat Shop close to our house

so Paula could get some ground beef

and some of their

lightly pasteurized milk...

I buy raw milk but

she isn't ready for that :-)

Got home in time to 

feed the Pups...

they were watching the clock :-)

I rested a bit on the couch...

and then we headed out to the Barnyard...

we had a quick, heavy rain a little bit ago

so it was quite steamy when we went out...

The Girls got some Timothy Grass,

Grain and some Ritz Crackers...

their new favorite...

Asclepias incarnata, or Milkweed...

all the butterflies love it,

but it is the only plant

the Swallowtail will lay eggs on...

haven't seen any yet,

but hopefully they will find it :-)

Made a batch of cookies

for the cookie jar...

Ready for Jammies and couch time

with my Honey and Fur Kids!

favorite time of day...

Tonight we are watching

"SALT"...

a fictional drama :-)

because a 95 pound Angelina Jolie

can whip every muscle bound bad guy in the city...

we like it tho!

made in 2010 with

Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, 

Daniel Olbrychski, August Diehl, 

and Chiwetel Ejiofor...

lots of action!

Good Night Everyone...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams...

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,”

that it may bear more fruit.”

John 15:1-2 NKJV

“The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.”

Psalms 119:64 NKJV

“Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.”

Proverbs 16:3 NKJV

“to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; 

that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Ephesians 3:19 NKJV

“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, 

and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.””

Luke 10:16 NKJV

Last night's Movie Time poses...

*****

Got up at the usual time...

it's 69 degrees and misting rain...

The door is open for 

Bible Study Time...

Bucky is crowing, 

the frog is croaking,

and there is a distant train whistle...

Perfect!

Looked out the window

and the three Littles,

who have been "broody"

in the nest box

(yes one nestbox, all three)

for weeks have

come out to wait for breakfast...

Heading out to the

soggy Barnyard...

we needed rain, for sure,

but not all at once!! :-)

If you remember,

we did have four of these

young Buckeye girls

but one disappeared many weeks ago...

probably a hawk but we

found no feathers...

a clean grab, I guess.

These are the ones that should

be laying most of the eggs

because they are young...

but they seem to lay very few

if any!

Anna...

And Elsa...

Pup Pile Patrol...

Heading to Oak Ridge

for our Yearly Wellness Exam...

Yea, we checked out AOK...

we are just getting old,

but there is no cure for that...

well, actually Heaven is the cure :-)

When we first left...

On our way home...

Pouting Parlor...

It started raining and

the chickens ran for cover...

We also went by the DMV

and I renewed my license...

*****

Look at Baby's udder!

It isn't hard or warm.

She doesn't seem bothered except

that it is floppy and must be heavy...

I think I may have to get the vet out

to really look at it.

She was here a couple months ago

for their shots but didn't seem to

think it was anything but

precocious udder...

I may have to try to milk her...

Lovely...

Out to the Barnyard...

Had a few moments of sun shine

and Lucy took the time to sunbathe...

Six eggs today...

Tonight we will watch

"The Rock"...

made in 1996 with

Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris,

 Michael Biehn, William Forsythe, 

David Morse, and John Spence...

one of our favorites!

Good Night Everyone...
