“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Galatians 5:25 NKJV

“The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps. A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.”

Proverbs 14:15-16 NKJV

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about 

like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

I Peter 5:8 NKJV

““You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “You shall not murder. “You shall not commit adultery. “You shall not steal. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.””

Exodus 20:3-4, 7-8, 12-17 NKJV

Good Morning Everyone...

it's 45 degrees...

a cooler start than usual,

but the forecast is still good...

lots of sunshine

for the 

First Day of May!

"Among the changing months, 

May stands confest the sweetest, 

and in fairest colors dressed.” 
James Thomson

Bible Study Time

with the Pack...

all of them!

Changing the month 

on my favorite calendar...

Sparkly Day...

Out to the Barnyard...

a bit chilly and I DID

put on my jacket :-)

“My heart is light with May!
The sky is soft; the coming birds
Are silent on their way.” 
Mary Mapes Dodge

The Blue Bird Babies

are very disciplined...

they didn't move or make

a sound when I peeked at them...

just like Momma said...

Eating some Comfrey and some Rose Petals...

“May is the month of expectation, 

the month of wishes, the month of hope.” 
Emily Brontë

Silly Duck!!

Laid her egg by the water bucket...

Time for Dandy's Cookie...

Isn't she adorable?

See her little tongue sticking out...

Elsa and Anna...

Egg Collection...

Dust and Ash Bath Time...

These are the fish in the Duck Pond...

Unbelievable! I counted at least 27

and that pond was frozen over

this winter!!!

They love their humans :-)

The Mountain Swallows

are now building in this house...

I can't believe the Chickadee's 

were big enough to fledge...

hopefully I miscalculated and

these two didn't kill those babies...

I find no sign of foul play...

For Supper we had Pinto Beans,

Fried Taters, Spinach and Cornbread...

the BEST!!!

“As full of spirit as the month of May, 

and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.” 
William Shakespeare

Heading out to button up 

the Barnyard for the evening...

Eggs for today...

my hens are getting old...

I can relate :-)

All the outside chores are done,

the kitchen is clean

and I will be heading for the shower

and my Jammies...

Ready to call it a day

and hit the couch with my crew...

More interesting and useful information...

Gotta take care of these bees....

Something was wrong with our

BluRay disk last night and

we couldn't watch "Green Zone"...

so, we watched

"Independence Day"

with Will Smith, Bill Pullman, 

Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell...

So tonight, if all goes well

we will watch

"Julie and Julia"...

made in 2009 with

Meryl Streep, Amy Adams,

“And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him 

will receive remission of sins.””

Acts 10:42-43 NKJV

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”

John 1:1, 3-5 NKJV

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”

Psalms 51:12 NKJV

“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Matthew 22:37-39 NKJV

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, 

just as He is pure.”

I John 3:1-3 NKJV

Good Morning Thursday...

Forecast calls for lots of sun

but not too hot!

It's the last day of April...

Max rushed out to start his day...

I could hear a Bobwhite in the distance...

that call always brings back memories

of childhood at my Grandparents

house in Kentucky...

Bible Study Time...

to the Barnyard...

So we are heading

out for the Morning Chores...

The violets jumped out

of the pot last year
