Sunday on the Mountain ... April 6

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

☔️

“Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 3:13-14 ESV


“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

Luke 12:6-7 ESV


“Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.”

Proverbs 12:19-20 ESV


“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.”

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 7-8 ESV


“and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 ESV


“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

Good Morning Sunday...

not quite as warm as yesterday

and it is raining...



Murphy Man, as Robbie calls him :-)


Waiting for her cue...
she often lays there
'til Lanny comes in to sit...



And Max joined in
for a few rubs and cuddles...



Bible Study Time
with the whole Pack...


Baby Lettuce...
I cut the oldest tray yesterday
and will give the roots and stems
to the critters this morning...
unless it is raining too hard...
I need to start another tray...



Sunny Radio...


Fur Kid Breakfast Time...


I LOVE sunflowers..


Treat Time...


Come on Murph...






Sparkly Day....


Heading out to the Barnyard...
the rain has let up a little...







Fish love rain...


I love how green everything is looking...
and the rain makes it mores!




Duck Egg Yolks are so big!!
and SO yummy!


I put Kale, Peppers, Cheese and Bacon Bits
in the Muffins...


Lanny wanted a pic of me and the
Mixer AND the 
Making of the Egg Muffins :-)




Boiled some duck eggs
to go with our Dinner tonight...


Poor Babies have to spend
the day in their house
when it is raining...
they don't HAVE to,
but they don't like rain...
it's a choice :-)


Roast Beef Sandwich for Lunch...


Fur Kid Dinner Time...


Had some bags of chip crumbles
and the chickens and goats
LUV chip crumbles :-)



For tonights Dinner
I am cooking a big pot of Pinto Beans...
gonna add some Beef Sausage
and serve over Rice...
also Steamed Broccoli
and a Salad...

James came without Tasha...
she is on call....
but we sent her a big
doggy box :-)





The Barnyard is secure...
as best we can do...
we have lost two ducks
and there is NO clue
as to what happened...
there are usually feathers
whether it's hawk, bobcat or coyote,
so we are baffled...

We finished the "Bourne" series...
tonight we are going to watch
"Amadeus"...
F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce...
a favorite!!

Good Night All...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams...

Saturday on the Mountain... April 5

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🎶🐦‍⬛

"And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.””

Exodus 33:14 ESV


“But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

Luke 11:17, 23 ESV


“There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

Proverbs 12:18 ESV


“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Psalm 34:18 ESV


“saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!””

Revelation 5:12-13 ESV

It's Saturday...

another warm one...



Mope Maggie!


Then the pile up...


Bible Study Time...



Look at that face :-)


Garden Time...


Fur Kid Breakfast...


Max is eating at his Pedestal Table :-)




Treat Time
Daddy's Breakfast...




Out to the Barnyard...







Everything is budding out...
hope we don't get a freeze :-(










Even the Wisteria...
and it is VERY sensitive to cold...




The hens are flocking under the fort...

we cannot find Gabby duck

and I hope they aren't under here

because of fear...

the hawks are not flying over often

but we do see and hear them

now and then...




Gave the Ladies some Comfrey...
it is really good for them
and my patch is coming up nicely...


Elsa and Anna don't seem concerned...
we just cannot figure out
what could have happened to Gabby...
same situation with Penny...
no feathers...
it is a mystery...





Look what finally came today...
I have been waiting for two weeks
but it's finally here and I am SO excited!
...it's too late to play with it today,
but tomorrow I may get a chance to
make something...
I think it's beautiful!!!


Sat in the yard a while
watching the critters
and enjoying the nice weather...
it was a bit hot when the
sun came out from behind the clouds,
but Spring has Sprung, I think...





Salad!
Chicken, Roasted Brussel Sprouts,
Sweet Peppers, Tomatoes and Cucumber...
Homemade Italian Dressing...
YUM!


All the chores are done...
the Barnyard is buttoned up for the evening...

still no clue what could have happened to Gabby...
she was in the cameras at 3 am swimming the pond
and at 5:30 up here toward the house
drinking water with the two white ducks...
then she was gone... could not find any
video record of her disappearance
but there are a few areas that are not
covered by camera...
I will have to remedy that...

Good Night Everyone...


God Bless

Sweet Dreams!
