Saturday on the Mountain... July 30

Quiet Time...

“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, 

our inner self is being renewed day by day.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

*****

Dad got up just as I was coming into the living room...

So I got him situated and comfortable...

made him a couple Biscuit Roll Ups...

...and sat down with Maggie and Murphy, 

under the blankets...

Lanny came in shortly...

My poor Maggie is SO stressed :-)

Finished up Study Time about 5:45...

made the bed and fed my kiddo's....

then headed out to the flock...

Gabby and Penny...

Visited with Dandy and Takoda as well...

Mom usually gets up around 7-7:30...

her morning ritual is coffee, Boost and prunes...

Canned some chicken...

still had a huge whole chicken we processed at our friends this spring, 

so I thawed it, cut it up and made a few quarts of chicken pieces...

Look how much room I now have for my canner!

The old microwave was about three inches below the cabinet 

so my canner was really tight...

Now I have lots of room to put on the lid and tighten the locks...

LOVE IT!!!

For lunch we had warmed over pizza pieces and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches...

Then it was siesta time!

Mitzi jumps up and gets some lovin' 

and then jumps down to work on a bone...

Mom and Dad usually lay down after lunch as well 

so I can relax and not worry about them getting into trouble... 

I still keep a close watch on them...

Willow, Goldie and Sugar :-)

Fed the fur kids their supper...

Lanny ran into Food City for something this morning 

and perused the meat department...

he found a GREAT deal on some pork chops.

So he brought home a couple packs and I raw packed them this afternoon.

6 Quarts... the canner is cooling down right now 

so I will take a picture of them 

when I take 'em out!

Raw packed, so the liquid is ALL pork drippings!!!

YUM!!

For supper I added some carrots to Paula's leftover 

Cabbage, Kielbasa and Potatoes 

and we had SOUP!!!

It was delicious!!!

All the evening chores are done...

The pup piles are gone, the chicken feed is safe, 

and they have nice clean water...

Tonight we will watch Thor: Ragnarok... I didn't like it the first time I saw it 

but it's grown on me... it is humorous thrown in to the dark theme 

of the last few Marvel movies... 

Goodnight Family and Friends...

God bless and Sweet Dreams!!!
