Saturday on the Mountain... June 6

  Quiet Time in Bible Study...

“Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.”

Matthew 5:7 NKJV

“Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.”

Psalms 124:8 NKJV

“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul 

and health to the bones.”

Proverbs 16:24 NKJV

““For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, 

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV

“But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, 

do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

II Timothy 4:5 NKJV

“But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. 

And who is adequate for such a task as this?”

2 Corinthians 2:14-16 NLT

Since I've been taking this medicine

for my heart I am cold all the time :-)

therefore, the air conditioner is set 

pretty high...

They have to go to the floor 

off and on to cool off :-)

But they come back

for snack time and to

cuddle a bit :-)

Good Morning Saturday...

it's the Weekend...

which means nearly nothing

to us old retired folk :-)

Maggie coming in from the

Bedroom, heading outside

for her morning rounds...

Waiting for Bible Study Time...

Already making messes...

the Organ Meat was finished 

freeze drying and it has

to be packaged quickly

so that the humidity in the air

doesn't affect it...

I am loving this little

vacuum sealing device for mason jars...

I was right in the middle of

working on the meat,

so Lanny went out and

took care of the initial

Barnyard Duty...

Anna was up on the platform...

they have very rarely

walked up that ramp

so I am not sure what

she was hoping to find :-)

Lanny let the goats out...

...and gave them a little grain...

I ended up with about five quarts

and a little more...

not a bad haul!

We use this as a Kibble topper

for the pups and Max...

Organ meat is very good for them.

Sparkly Day...

And Berries for the Critters...

Lanny washes his own

everyday clothes...

I used to wash everything

and he isn't forced to do it...

he just likes to...

IYKYK...

If you have watched

"Kate and Leopold"

you know :-)

My favorite view...

We needed to move the Martin House

up closer to the barn so we could 

see it and maintain it...

it was full of wasp nests...

no wonder the birds

were a bit skittish!!

Lounging...

their main job :-)

I made a Venison Roast,

Baked Yellow Tater

and Green Beans...

YUM!

Out to the Barnyard...

Sunning...

The Mountain Swallows were buzzing

around above me and then

I noticed a big black snake trying

to get into the nest...

before I could grab him

he had his head in the hole...

I had to wrap him up

in the pitch fork and pull him out...

I didn't hurt him but

I hope I upset him

enough to stay away from 

my baby birds...

One of the babies had flown out

and fallen into the pond,

probably in fear, because they

are way too small to fledge...

anyway, I got him out and dusted

him off and put him back in the nest...

Mom and Dad are feeding like crazy

so I guess they didn't mind...

I hope they saw my brave act

and like me now :-)

I coaxed him way back 

far from the nest...

We haven't been getting a lot

of eggs so I am thinking we have

several of these visitors...

I think they are keeping the

rodents at bay, so I am OK

with them taking a chicken egg or two...

but I do NOT want them

bothering my baby wild birds!!

The other three were

pasted on the bottom being quiet

and still...

I think they are all OK...

Well, he snuck right back

and got one of the babies before

I could grab him again...

had it in his mouth so

there was nothing I could do...

I took him farther back over the fence...

I went back to look in a few minutes

and he was heading off...

he won't need to eat for a day or two...

Breaks my heart...

Heading in to clean up...

Ready for tonights

entertainment...

****

We will be watching

"War of the Worlds"...

made in 2005 with

Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, 

Miranda Otto, Justin Chatwin

and Tim Robbins, 

with narration by Morgan Freeman...

it's pretty good :-)

Good Night Everyone!
