Tuesday on the Farm... May 31

Quiet Time... 

“Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, 

but sin overthrows the wicked.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:6‬ 

*****
Dad was up...


Got him situated with his coffee, his medicine and inhaler 
and a Breakfast Burrito :-)
Then I settled down with Maggie and Mitzi... 
Murphy didn't come in til a little later...

Murphy is under the brown puppy blanket. 
He gets on the bottom of the recliner by my legs... 


And Lanny got up about the time I was ready to jump into my day (5:45)...
so I didn't get to sit with him this morning...
And Max was in the bed waiting for me to scoop him up 
and carry him into the living room :-)

Made the bed and got dressed for the day...



Fed the fur kids their breakfast...



And then headed out to the feathered kids...




One Gabby egg in the duck house...
last night I found one of Penny's eggs under the deck broken... very thin shell...
I am sure the heat isn't helping..




The fish are ready for breakfast as well...



Headed thru the big barn to the horse stalls...

Found the left overs of Max's late night snack in front of one of the freezers ... 
Sorry, it is a bit gross. I cannot imagine that cat eating fur and bones 
but this is all that's left, so he must be!!


Saw this beauty on the drive way...


Love the sky!!



They are ready for their carrots!




At 7 I headed down the hill to grab Sadie. 
She is out of school for the summer and Tuesday is our day!!


Passed the Shetland Ponies...


And My Bull Buddies...


The white Bull is BIG, but Oreo is even BIGGER!!!
I love that big boy!!


Our Girl!!



Decanted the kefir when I got home and took the berries out to the chickens...






Two Pearl Whites... one of my white hens laid a fairy egg..
tiny and no yolk!
 

Sadie is working on decorations for a party she will be having this weekend!


Made Eggs, Sausage and Toast for Breakfast...
Mom and I ate toast...



Hard to see it but one of the turtles is eating some sardines I took out...



Sadie brought a couple gloves and a ball 
so Papaw could practice throwing and catching with her... 
she is on a softball team... 
they went down to the shade below the horse pasture...










I made us some Fried Baloney Sandwiches for lunch... 
then Sadie went back out to work on her project 
and Lanny and I sat down for a short rest...


It's so hot... I ran in and out taking cooling treats to the chickens and ducks 
(they get hot too) and just piddling in the house. I am having computer/wifi/internet troubles today so I will be surprised if I can post... 
my morning verses didn't go out until the afternoon!!!

For supper we had Hot Dogs, all the fixings, salad and pudding for dessert...



Rob came over after I took the pictures 
and had "several" hotdogs :-)
He kinda likes hotdogs!

Lanny picked up the piles in the yard, Paula and I cleaned up the kitchen 
and then she went to work on stalls 
and I went out to button up the chicken run...

We watched "No Reservations" last night... a really cute/sweet movie.
Not sure what we will watch tonight.
I will let you know.

Goodnight Sweet Family and Friends!!
God bless and Sweet Dreams!!

...now, lets see if this will post...

Monday on the Mountain... May 30

Quiet Time...

"Greater love hath no man than this, 
that a man lay down his life for his friends. 
John 15:13
*****
Dad was up and ready...

Took care of him, made him a couple Biscuit Roll-Ups and then hit the couch with my Pack...


Finished up around 5:45 and of course I had to move Max out of the bed :-)


Mitzi was on the futon...


Made the bed and fed the kids...
then headed out to face the day!




Ready and waiting...



Gabby's egg...
they stayed in their own house last night...


Headed over to the stalls to give the boys a carrot...










Rotten... just like siblings! :-)









I turned over a board that Lanny is going to use to make a bench and there were doodle bugs and other yummy things... the chickens were excited!!




Even Gabby heard the excitement in their voices and came running!


Second Breakfast:
Sausage, Egg and Cheese Omelet and Toast...
Mom had toast in her room...


Lanny hauling dirt for our turtle habitat...


The girls sunning...



Maggie really gets into it!




For lunch we had Grilled Cheese Sandwiches...
Mom ate in her room...


We did catnap a little while...
nice on a really hot day...
then headed out to play in the yard...

Willow and one of the Pearl Whites...


The "Babies" cuddling...


They followed me in the coop...
they always think I am the treat machine!


Look! Little tomatoes on the plants already!


And blossoms!



Penny and Gabby enjoying the pond...



The Turtle Enclosure so far:
Made them a deep soil spot for burrowing in hibernation 
and for egg laying... 


We cut a two foot section of large PVC pipe... 
they loved that at the other house. Safe and cool...




I think we have a male and two females... but I am not positive about one of them. 
If it turns out to be a male we will have to release it. 
One male is about all you can have in an enclosure... 
as with any animal, they will fight over the girl :-)

 

Coconut Egg...


Lanny is working on the MULE...
new battery but it won't hold a charge...
may be starter... alternator...
he will fix it :-)


For Supper we had Panko Breaded Chicken Breasts, 
Baked Potatoes, Peas and Carrots and Beets!!!
YUM!



Lanny picked up the pup piles, I cleaned up the kitchen...
then I took the chicks and ducks some peas and carrots from dinner... they love 'em!
I put their feed bowls away and closed up the sand box.

Not sure what will be on the big screen tonight...
I'll let you know tomorrow...

Hope you liked the little video tour...
it is on facebook... I couldn't get the movie into the blog... 
the file is too big!

Goodnight Family and Friends!!
Love to you all!!!

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!!
