Wednesday on Walden's Mountain... May 31

Quiet Time...

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: 

And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 

Proverbs 18:21 KJV

*****

Wake up sleepy heads!

Dad didn't get up til about 5:30...

I was ready for him and finished with my Quiet Time...

worked out perfectly!

When I get up they don't move a muscle...

Well, except Maggie sometimes looks to see where I am going...

Day three in Black Out and Day two...

one more day for the first one, two for the other...

Another two days of weights...

Out to the Barnyard...

Somehow Nebula fell into the duck pond...

I think Bucky snuck up on her and she flew right in...

anyway, the ducks were squawking and I heard some splashing

 but when I got there she was quietly floating along 

like nothing was wrong... 

I just reached in and picked her up 

and set her out on dry land...

she preened and primped for a LONG time... 

I don't think she liked it at all...

Planted a new Microgreen Tray...

Eggs are finished freeze drying and ready to package...

Of course I have SO much to do this morning

and I am trying to get everything done 

before I head down for an 11:00 appointment ... 

Feeding Goats and Chickens..

I had Sparkley to decant as well 

and they were running for the berries...

The goats are not amused :-)

They laid here by the gate off and on all morning...

I was so busy that I didn't go out as much as usual...

I will make it up to them :-)

Put some Fire Roasted Sweet Peppers 

into the Freeze Dryer...

Got them at Gordons and they are SO delicious.

Cannot wait to see how they work in recipes!

Headed to Briceville around 10:30 for 11:00 lunch..

most of you know that for years our church did a monthly 

ministry lunch and fellowship/Bible Study 

at the Briceville Friendship Center... 

when COVID struck we were shut down. 

Then when we were cleared to return 

so many of the ladies (including me) 

were no longer able to go... 

well, the Briceville ladies invited us to come

 and enjoy a meal that THEY were preparing for us... 

It was so SWEET!!!

Teina brought goodies to give out as door prizes...

she still had a room full of goodies 

left over from before COVID...

Lots of Familiar Sweet Faces!

Teina gave the usual greeting and blessing...

And the Briceville Ladies outdid themselves...

it was delicious!!!

And my door prize was perfect for me...

Long story, but the song "I Can Only Imagine" 

is very special to me 

and that is what is on this picture!!!

I LOVE it!!!

I fed the men a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup 

for Supper... I was still full from lunch!!!

We watched "Night at the Museum" 

last night...

Tonight we will watch the second one...

Goodnight Family and Friends...

no snakes or bites today...

and I only saw one big Possum 

out beyond the perimeter 

NOT inside our fence :-)

God Bless

and

Sleep Sweetly!!

Tuesday on Walden's Mountain... May 30

Quiet Time...

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; 

and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: 

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; 

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

Isaiah 43:2 KJV

*****

Greet the new day!!!

Dad was up and waiting...

Made him a couple Sausage Biscuits,

with his coffee and meds...

and the dogs were begging!

Pack Bible Study Time...

The usual seating arrangement...

Then to the Microgreens...

needs another day of Black Out...

Needs two more days of Black Out...

These are ready for some light!

Still under weights...

Breakfast Time

for the Canine Crew!

Aren't they so cute!!

Lazy, but cute!

Flock, Fluffle, Friskies, Fins and Shells Time!

The tunnel is working well...

no goats in the coop since we put in on...

now if only I could keep the snake and possum critters out!! :-)

Still no fur pulling by Blossom...

I put the nest box in there just in case...

She would be due any day...

Paula cut some Elm 

and the Goats get a little treat...

I cannot keep the chickens out of the Goat Feed...

Oops...

bath time, don't look :-)

Eating Sardines...

Cinnamon Raisin Bread 

in the machine to Knead...

And a BIG batch of Banana Bread dough...

four loaves worth...

Lanny is weed eating...

Raisin Bread ready for the pans...

Willie was going to steal the little plant pot I put there...

...til I knocked on the window :-)

Banana Bread is done...

My little kitchen helper...

I NEVER cook alone!

Finally he realized 

he is much safer UNDER the island!!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread Done...

Chickens like the Goat PlayGround 

as much as the Goats do!

Ruminating!

Well, this guy was traveling thru the big barn 

and at the door to the back yard...

I grabbed him just in time...

He bit me several times 

but honestly y'all it doesn't hurt...

their teeth are like really fine needles...

it mostly just startles...

anyway, when I washed the wound 

I couldn't even see the holes!

Lanny brought in some more aged horse manure...

more worms for the feathered kids!!

The chickens are still playing on the Goat Playground...

fortunately, the Goats don't mind a bit!

We had left over Mexican for Supper...

just as good the second time around!!!

Eleven Eggs today...

all is well...

Well, day is done...

Not sure what will be on the Big Screen tonight...

I'll let you know tomorrow...

Goodnight Y'all...

God Bless

and

Sweet Dreams!
