Wednesday in the Wood... June 29

Quiet Time...

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭ESV

*****
Daddy was not up...


I got everything ready except for the Breakfast Croissant...


And I sat down with Maggie and Murphy...


Dad didn't get up until around 5:45 
so I was actually just finished with my Quiet Time... 
Maggie was really cuddling with Murph 
but I think she thought it was my leg :-)


Got Dad situated, made the bed and started a batch of stew beef 
in the InstaPot for canning...


I'll undercook it a bit so that when I can it in the pressure canner it will be just right...


Fed the fur kids and headed out to the birds...





Yay!!! Another Penny egg... I'll keep checking for Gabby... 
it's usually not far behind...



Yep, both ducks laid today... 
you can really see the difference...


Made Dad an Egg, Bacon and Cheese Omelet with Toast...


Another Water Lily... so pretty!


A Pearl White...


Another Pearl White and Goldie...


And Coconut is working on a pink one :-)


Seven Pints of Stew Beef!!!


For lunch I made Dad a Ham Sandwich one a Hawaiian Roll...
he likes that...
Mom and Paula went to the Dermatologist so Mom skipped lunch....


After the beef finished I canned the juices from the InstaPot... 
it will be great for making gravy...
Seven Pints of Beef Drippings/Juices!!


Yay!! a Coconut egg AND Ambers' little Olive one...
it is still pretty small but I think they will get bigger...


Opal sprawling in the sun...
they like sunbathing about as much as dust bathing!!


I also started a Ginger Bug yesterday to make some different carbonated drinks... 
I have to feed it every day for about a week as it ferments... 
I'll let you know how this project turns out... 
you can add it to any fruit juice and allow it to ferment a bit 
and you will have a refreshing slightly carbonated summer drink! 


Supper was just the three of us so I made us 
some Egg and Bacon Salad Sandwiches 
with Applesauce and Graham Cracker for Dessert...


Lanny and the CentriKid group are on their way home two days early :-(
One of the kids wasn't feeling well and tested positive for Covid 
so they all are coming home...
Pray that Lanny does not get sick again... all of us probably will if he does.
Not worried about the two of us but Mom and Dad are more threatened...

Gave the birds some nice, cold lettuce... 
they like lettuce and if it's cold it cools them off on a hot afternoon...


The Baby Bluebird is probably getting to the age that I cannot open the box anymore... I wouldn't want him to jump and fall out... 
he is growing nicely and Momma and Daddy were fussing at me when I peeked in :-)



I put their food away and gave them some clean, cold water...
The fish are enjoying this summer evening...
Look how BIG that big boy is!!!



I picked up the puppy piles, cleaned up the kitchen 
and will finish this up and get my jammies on...

Lanny should be home by 6... they were in Somerset Ky at 3, 
but he will take Sadie home and they will unload the busses 
so it may be a bit later than that...

I missed him but I wish they could have stayed the five days. The kids LOVE the last day when they do OMC (Organized, Mass Chaos!)... 
that is the fun highlight of the trip. But Lanny said God showed up big time 
and they had ALL already been blessed beyond words!!!

We may get to sit down on the couch and watch a movie tonight... 
maybe we will keep our distance but I doubt it will be 6 feet!!

Goodnight Y'all...
God bless and Sweet Dreams!
