“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Romans 3:23 NKJV

“He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile. Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law,”

Psalms 94:9-12 NKJV

“Like the cold of snow in time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters.”

Proverbs 25:13 NKJV

““A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.”

John 14:19 NKJV

It's the Weekend!

for retired people

it's just another day :-)

The Weatherman is calling for 

a bit of rain today...

☔

"Everybody wants happiness, 

and nobody wants pain, 

but you can't have a rainbow 

without a little rain."

🌈

Zion Lee

Bible Study Time...

not sure what Maggie is on alert about...

She and Murph

finally settled down for 

Morning Pack Time...

Sparkly Day...

Morning Barnyard Shift...

it isn't raining yet,

but it is pretty cloudy..

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, 

you gotta put up with the rain.” 

Dolly Parton

“Life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass…. 

It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” 

Vivian Greene

"Frogs are always happy 

because they eat whatever bugs them."

"Many men go fishing all of their lives 

without knowing that it is not fish they are after." 

Henry David Thoreau

Making Breakfast....

Lanny and I ran down to the

Farmers Market this morning

for some Goat Milk...

we also stopped by

Tractor Supply for

Goat Feed, Sunflower Seeds

and Timothy Grass...

Then James and Tasha came over

for a little while

with the Babies...

Isaac and Sky are moving in

to their new place today

so Nani and Papaw are keeping

the kids :-)

So unbelievable

 that my baby is a Grandpa!

For Supper we had the inch thick

Cowboy Chops that I grilled yesterday,

 Baked Sweet Potato

Homemade Sourdough

Brioche Rolls...

Paula came over...

The Goats are in for the night,

all is well in the Barnyard...

I am heading for the showers

***

Tonight we are watching

"Face Off"...

I know it is very illogical and impossible,

but we never worry about the implausible plot...

we just like the movie!!!

Made in 1997 with

John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, 

Joan Allen, Alessandro Nivola

Good Night Everyone...

Friday on the Mountain... April 24

Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🌸🌺

“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

II Corinthians 5:18, 21 NKJV

“Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, 

and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

Psalms 92:13-15 NKJV

“The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands. He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, 

But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.”

Proverbs 14:1-2 NKJV

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, 

in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8 NKJV

“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

James 1:19-20 NKJV

“But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, 

I shall come forth as gold.”

Job 23:10 NKJV

Good Morning...

It's Friday!!

• "For people who don’t like what they do, Friday is the best day. For those who love what they do, Monday is the best day. For people who have found their passion, each day is the best."

• Hrishikesh Kamat

Smoochy time...

Maggie decided to lay partly on my lap

and partly on the arm of the couch this morning...

this is usually saved for our nap time...

Bible Study Time...

Makes it a bit harder for me to 

put my verses and pictures

in the blog...

But I managed :-)

Heading out to the Barnyard

for the morning shift...

“When you start to do the things that you truly love, 

it wouldn’t matter whether it is Monday or Friday; 

you would be so excited 

to wake up each morning 

to work on your passions.”

• Edmond Mbiaka

Must have been a critter

in the garden overnight...

She can smell it!

Egg Hunt...

Horseradish is coming up nicely...

and two different kinds of sage...

Chives...

• “Don’t count the days. 
• Make the days count.”
• Muhammad Ali

"The dome of coolness above the pond throbs with croaking. 
Dragonflies and damselflies pierce the slanting light 

that burnishes the surface of the water with fire. 

At the edges frogs wait to spring."

'The Garden Party', Grace Dane Mazur

“In a pond koi can reach lengths of eighteen inches. 

Amazingly, when placed in a lake, koi can grow to three feet long. 

The metaphor is obvious. 
You are limited by how you see the world.”

Vince Poscente

Our Screensaver today

is Puppies!!!

🐾

Great information...

Homemade "Jello"...

I use Grass Fed Bovine Gelatin

and fresh fruit and juice...

No added sugar and it is

really good and healthy...

This bowl is older than me...

belonged to my Great Grandma Anders...

Out the Kitchen Window...

Enjoying the sunshine...

Lanny is going out to mow the pasture...

Dandy is not amused :-)

Max is waiting for me to come back in...

The pups like

to look out into the barn...

this is kinda like our

"front porch" :-)

Max came in with me

and found another spot to lounge...

Taking a rest,

watching some sewing on YouTube...

the whole Pack get's in

on a rest!

I helped Lanny get

the TORO out of a predicament...

he slid into a little ditch

and I had to help pull it out...

We got the TORO out

of the ditch and back home...

I made us a Steak, Baked Tater 

and Veggies for Dinner...

it was the Steak I grilled yesterday...

YUM!!

Evening Shift...

The Ducks don't care where

they lay their eggs!

Right in the middle of the yard

in front of the feed box :-)

They are happy...some grain, 

fresh Hay and Timothy...

The nest boxes were full of hens...

as I said, my hens are crazy...

Egg laying is usually a 

morning thing for chickens!

These two have done their

egg laying for the day...

time to rest in the shade :-)

The Goats are snug for the night,

all the other Critters are ready for bed as well...

we will be soon,

and then it is Movie Time!

Tonight we will watch

"Eragon"...

made in 2006 with

Ed Speleers, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, 

John Malkovich, and Rachel Weisz as Saphira the dragon...

Kinda fun!!

Good Night Everyone!
