Wednesday in the Woods... September 21

Quiet Time...

Oh how I love this verse!

“When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, 
and the son of man that You care for him?”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭8:3-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

*****
Daddy was not up yet...
he got up around 4:45...



Mom is really having a hard time... long story, her doctor is out of the office today so her urine culture won't be read til tomorrow but she is very confused and disoriented... she won't stay in the bed and doesn't really know why she is getting up. Lift her up in prayer, please. I am going to call the on-call doc today and see if they can get her some meds just to hold her over til her doctor gets back. I am also going to buy a rail for her bed today so I can try to keep her in it and safe from falling again...

Off and on (getting up to catch Mom before she got out of the bed, every few minutes)
 these were my study buddies til Lanny got up :-)


Mitzi got her neck massage :-)


And Max got a cuddle...


Decanted Sparkley and the berries are for the birds! :-)


Out to the chicks and ducks!


Lanny is already burning...





Penny egg...




Getting ready to grind the sprouted and dried wheat and spelt berries.
I have a manual grinder and it is fabulous exercise but I am choosing the electric Nutrimill today...
Too tired to grind!





Mixing up my Artisan Whole Wheat Loaf Master...


This is the handiest little gadget... makes mixing dough SO easy!


Now it will sit on the counter for about 2 hours til it has risen...


Doubled and full of bubbly air pockets!!
Gorgeous...



Found a rail so Lanny and I ran down the hill to get it and Paula stayed with Mom...
The dogs know the sound of the car all the way thru the barn and into the house...
the didn't see us drive up :-)


Thank goodness Paula stayed and helped put that rail thing together...
always SOME assembly required!!


But hopefully it will keep her in the bed til I can come help her get out!


Gave the kids some lettuce...



Made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and then we rested a bit...


I didn't rest much... I have to keep an eye on Mom 
so I streamed the camera to the TV so I could see it better :-) 
Also, I had an InstaCart order that came right in the middle of our rest time...


And, our chipper was delivered this morning.
It was also SOME assembly required!



HooooooooRah!!!
Making our own wood chips!!





Sugar Egg...




First little load of our home made mulch :-)


Gabby enjoying a swim!


For supper we had Ground Beef Patties, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Spinach, Rolls and Pudding for Dessert...
Mom didn't eat a thing... but she is drinking the Boost Plus 
(350 calories and all the daily vitamins)... 
so far two today and I will give her another one before bedtime...


Chores done...
And again, I am MORE than ready to call this day done...
Not sure how I will sleep tonight with Mom like she is, 
but at least she is railed in the bed.
She has to buzz me on the buzzer to get out!!

The doctor never called...
Continue to pray for her, and for all of us! 

Goodnight, Sleep Tight...
Sweet Dreams!
