Quiet Time.....

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12

I think the warm weather is finally here...this warm at 4:30!

Quiet time with the fur kids... waiting on Daddy to get up...

Headed outside at 6 because first light was past and the feathered kids were calling me... but as I went out the door I noticed the absence of a familiar sound...no waterfall... looked over at the fish pond and it was nearly empty! A hose had come undone and if the pump had not burned up we would have lost the fish. As it happened, the pump stopped with about 4 inches left in the pond and the fish are fine. I ran down to Willow Ridge at 8 and picked up some de-chlor, came back and filled the pond back up. It was then that we realized the pump was dead, so we had to go back and buy another pump... we found one with auto shutoff at Home Depot so that won't happen again.

Lanny is already out making noise in that big Kubota Earth Mover...he is having WAY too much fun!

Only two eggs in the duck house but later in the day I found the third up against the fence way in the back of the yard. I think that snake really scared one of the ducks. Hopefully we have it secure and they will feel more comfortable as time passes...

Picked more radishes from the garden...

Produce is SO beautiful, especially when it's from your own garden!

Then I roamed around the yard looking for eggs...I haven't had any chicken eggs for a week or so except for a couple laid under the pool deck. Chicks and Ducks are nervous about the snakes...and for good reason...

This guy is FULL of stolen egg! I am just going to have to check the yard and nest boxes more often in the morning hours and try to stop his raiding. At least cut it down. I will gladly share an egg or two for his rat, mice and poisonous snake patrol but I do want a few for US!

On our way out to Home Depot we came upon a visitor in the Bay Doorway of the Barn...

I picked him up and escorted him out into the tall grass before Max or Luke spotted him...they also kill frogs, along with rabbits and anything else they can get their little cat claws into!

For Dinner I made Beef, Onions and Noodles and Normandy Veggies, with Crescent Rolls.... SOOOOO good!

Went out in the rain to shut up the chickens (they were already in the coop out of the rain) and then chased the ducks around the yard a little before they would come in OUT of the rain...they LOVE rain!

Lanny is in the shower. I am in my jammies finishing this post.

We didn't make it thru the whole Hobbit #2 last night, so we will finish it tonight and enjoy some popcorn from the "snack bar"....

Goodnight Y'all...

God Bless Us Every One...

Sweet Dreams!
