Saturday on the Mountain... August 15

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, 

for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

James 5:7-8 NKJV

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV

“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed 

to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.”

Hebrews 2:1 NKJV

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid 

of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,”

Psalms 91:1-2, 4-5 NKJV

Last Night Movie Time:

Look at those teeters!

These two were enjoying their

evening snack...

and quiet time without

the chickens all over the place :-)

Maggie was waiting for us to come to bed...

wrestling alone...

dog equivalent of

jumping on the bed :-)

*****

"Come Saturday Morning..."

The weekend is here!

I stood out in the drive

for a while after I

opened the Bay Doors,

but no bats this morning...

it's pretty foggy so

perhaps that makes a 

difference to them...

It was 75 degrees so I didn't

open the door for

Bible Study Time...

It was very quiet this morning...

"Look what time it is Mom..."

"It is 6:04!"

Out to the soggy barnyard...

has this been an

especially WET summer

or what!!!

Letting the Ladies out...

Pup Pile Patrol...

The fish are begging too!

It's raining off and on

so Fiona just snacks :-)

Sparkly Day...

For our "Dinner",

which we are eating between

11 and 12, we had

Chicken and Baked Potato

with Sour Cream, Butter and

Fresh Microgreens :-)

YUM

I feel more like cooking mid day

than later in the day, so

we are gonna start eating our main

meal around lunch time...

then we can nibble and snack in the evening...

We sat on the couch listening to the rain

and resting a bit...

It let up long enough for us

to head out and button up the barnyard...

Lovely Red Spotted Admiral...

hard to see the red spots :-)

*****

Tonight we are watching

"World War Z"...

made in 2013 with

Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, 

James Badge Dale, 

Peter Capaldi, Ruth Negga, 

and Matthew Fox...

I am not really a Brad Pitt fan

nor a "Zombie" movie fan,

but this one is quite good...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. 

Let all that you do be done with love.”

I Corinthians 16:13-14 NKJV

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, 

O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.”

Psalms 33:12, 18, 20-22 NKJV

“For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, 

that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.”

Romans 14:9 NKJV

“He makes me to lie down in green pastures; 

He leads me beside the still waters.”

Psalms 23:2 NKJV

“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; 

I will sing and give praise.”

Psalms 57:7 NKJV

Last night's Movie Time...

Yes, I am crocheting...

*****

It's Friday...

Rise and Shine!

The Bats were out this morning!

I have been waiting to see them.

Couldn't get a picture of them

because they are too fast!

They dip and dive and catch insects

around the security light above the 

Big Bay Barn Doors...

when I stand under the lights

I can feel the air movement

of their wings...

thrilling!

*****

Waiting for everyone to sit down...

I am not sure why

she is giving me that look :-)

Bible Study Time...

I didn't open the door because it's 

already 74... but I could hear

the Wren and the Train Whistle :-)

I asked her if she

wanted Breakfast...

they all jump up

immediately,

stretch, and head

for the kitchen...

After Breakfast

they need a nap :-)

Heading out to the Barnyard...

Made Baby her

Sage filled Banana Slices :-)

Still resting...

I don't think they have

moved at all!

Making dough for Cinnamon Rolls...

Robbie's Birthday (number 56)

is tomorrow and he LOVES

my Cinnamon Rolls...

So does Lanny and Paula

so I am making enough to share

all around :-)

After first rise...

Rolling out...

Spreading Butter,

Sugar and Cinnamon...

... and rolling it up...

18 Rolls should be enough

to share...

Into the proofing oven

for second rise...

Yes, another nap...

It is definitely a

"Dog's Life"...

These two have it made as well :-)

Rolls are done...

cooling before I ice them...

I made us a

"Pizza" using tortillas...

not too bad!

Iced and ready to share...

We sat on the couch

and rested...

I snooze and Lanny

watches basketball or golf...

Maggie and Murph nap :-)

Making more soap...

in my new molds...

this was a small batch...

It started rumbling

and threatening rain

so the Ladies

are staying close to home...

I am sitting at the table

watching YouTube soap videos

and Maggie is now

napping beside me

on the floor...

The rain let up

so we ran out to shut up the Goats

and get everyone else

ready for bed...

*****

Tonight we will watch

"Rio Bravo"...

made in 1959 with

John Wayne, Dean Martin, 

Angie Dickinson, Ricky Nelson, 

Walter Brennan, and Ward Bond...

classic John Wayne 

💕

Goodnight Everyone...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams...
