Thursday on the Farm... December 2

Quiet Time...

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." 

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

Told you I was gonna box up the calendars last night...

I get shirt boxes and the calendar fits just fine :-)

15 calendars ready to put under the tree...

Dad was still in bed...three nights in a row! Maybe it's a routine....

He did get up around 5 for his coffee and donut, but he is getting more hours in at night instead of daytime naps...

Bible Buddies...

Didn't take sky pictures...I went out too late for the pretty sunup...

I got busy in the house.

Imagine that! :-)

Duck egg in house!!! Yay!

Uh Oh...something got into the bag of cans last night...I hate that.

Once they find something they keep coming back lookin'....

Cleaned the oven and burners this morning...Did NOT wear gloves.

I don't know why I don't follow directions...

there is a good reason to wear gloves :-)

OUCH!

Paula started early decorating this big tree...it needed LOTS of lights. I will take a picture when it's dark later so you can see how lovely it is!

Lanny ran down to the dump...took all the bags of cans... :-)

AND, he brought home some Pine Flakes for my chickies and Sawdust Pellets for my duckies and some sand to refresh their dust bath area...

These stocking used to hang on the fireplace but this tree is so big that we went ahead and hung them on it...the kids will see them more out here in the common area than on my fireplace :-)

The "3M" is for Maggie, Mitzi and Murphy...

it was made before we got Max...I need to make his one...

The two little ones that say Rob and James were on Mom's tree when they were little :-)

Pretty OLD!!

I heated up the left over pizza and made some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Paula joined us, and after lunch she went right back to the tree...

Lanny and I went straight to the couch... along with our little pups and kitty...

Murphy being cute...

Maggie's ALWAYS cute...

Yawn....

Max has his spot in his Daddy's lap...

I think Paula is finished with the tree deco...I will take a picture when it's dark...

Fed the fur kids at 2...

Maggie gets private dining because she is so selfish...

Lots of hammering going on in Rob and Molly's house...

had to go check it out... she is organizing her kitchen storage. 

Looks SO cute!!

For supper I made Butterfly Shrimp, Normandy Veggies, Green Beans and New Potatoes, Beets and Rolls... Butterscotch Pudding for Dessert...

And we cleaned every bowl!! 

Kitchen is clean, Chickies and Duckies are in bed... they have fresh water..

Puppy Piles are picked up and I am finishing up this post as Lanny is hitting golf balls across the creek into the meadow...

I think we will watch the next Star Trek movie tonight...The Voyage Home (you know, the whale one :-) )

Goodnight Y'all...

God bless America...

Wednesday in the Woods... December 1

Quiet Time...

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ””

‭‭John‬ ‭7:38‬ 

*****

Dad slept all night except for a few bathroom visits... he was still in bed when I got up at 4 :-) The Melatonin and thyroid meds just might be working!

He did get up around 5 ready for his coffee and donut..

Bundled Bible Buddies :-)

Went out right before sun up and I apologize right now for all the pictures.

The sky was so gorgeous!

Remember, this is at 7:12 AM

Had one duck egg this morning IN the duck house.

Drew their little heart with scratch grain...

Then suddenly, at 7:16!!!

Max was watching from his perch in the house...

The sky just kept changing and getting prettier every second...

I LOVE our home in the hills!

And then, by the time I went thru the barn to the horses...

7:26... fading, but still lovely!

Carrot time!

Takoda didn't want a carrot...he was enjoying the sunrise too!

But Dandy will NEVER pass up a carrot :-)

Headed back to the house after visiting with the horses for a bit...

Made Spaghetti Sauce Mix... I don't like to buy the mix packs...

no tellin' what is in them :-) I KNOW what I put in mine...

The tree is really pretty and ready to decorate. We cleaned up the tables and moved a few things around in the common area so we will probably decorate the tree tomorrow...

Paula and Lanny moved some of the lumber piles out to the pole barn...

Looking thru decoration boxes to see what we have...

Made Fried Baloney on Hawaiian Rolls for lunch...you can put anything on those Hawaiian Rolls!!

Yummy!

Then Lanny and headed for the couch to take a little nap, of course...first I had to move Max off Dad's bed so HE could take a little nap as well :-)

Look at this spoiled brat!

Went out to put something in the freezer and you'd think I'd been gone for hours...it was about two minutes :-)

Mom and Paula had an eye appointment this afternoon and we had no idea when they'd be home, so I used it as a perfect excuse NOT to cook.... Lanny went down to Domino's and got us an Extravaganza!! I completely forgot to take a picture of us PIGGING out :-)

So dinner is done. Paper plates are in the trash :-) We very rarely use paper but its a special occasion (haha).

The puppy piles are taken care of, the chicks and ducks are in bed...

Lanny will be heading to the church for Wednesday service pretty soon. I will watch some Star Trek and maybe wrap my homemade calendars.

Max can come in the pet door but if we are anywhere visible he insists that we open the door for him...Lazy thang!!

Goodnight Y'all...

I love you all and so appreciate your prayers for us.

God bless you real good!!
