Monday on Walden's Mountain... April 3

Quiet Time...

"And He taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, 

My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? 

but ye have made it a den of thieves." 

Mark 11:17 KJV

*****

I'm staying in the bed a few minutes longer :-)

I love my Microgreens...

AND!!! my little seedlings are already 

popping their little heads out.

The Walking Stick Kale was first 

but now the tomatoes are coming out too...

Flock and Fluffle...

Egg hunt...

I made Lanny and Dad 

an Egg Sandwich for Breakfast...

********

Bread Time...

Herb bread today...

The Heat and Air guy is coming this morning

and the Hospice nurse 

so I may only do one batch of bread today...

it's gonna be busy...

Nebula on guard...

Lanny is off to work...

He is still tearing down the old pool deck...

Herb Bread is done...

The men had Ramen for lunch...

*****

These little babies are growing right before my eyes...

from morning til afternoon you can see the difference!

They are hanging around the kitchen gate...

They KNOW I will come out with something yummy...

I added macaroni to last nights Taco Soup...

You can successfully add macaroni to just about anything!!

Ready to call it a day...

Mom is not eating and is drinking very little.

Her blood pressure was so low... 60/30...

I will continue trying to get her to eat and drink 

but if she cannot swallow she could choke.

It's hard to see her this way...

it's just not her.

And she wants to see her mother...

Goodnight Family and Friends...

God bless and Sweet Dreams...

Sunday on Walden's Mountain... April 2

Quiet Time...

"...took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.”

John 12:13 NASB

*****

You have NEVER seen dark 

like the dark up on this hill when the power is out!

Even the dogs were scared :-)

I put an eLight out in the living room 

so that the whole house would have a "point of light"...

Mitzi finally relaxed.

Dad went to bed around 9:30...

He has an eBulb in his lamp that works when the power is out so when he did get up (with his big flashlight) 

he could turn on his lamp and it was almost like normal :-)

I laid in the bed until 4:45 because there was 

absolutely nothing I could accomplish in the dark.

 

I did, however, break out my butane burner and made two big pots of percolated coffee and put them in the thermos dispensers so all of us (Rob and Paula included) 

could have some hot coffee... they were thrilled!

*****

The wall clock was not working of course,

so here is the Flock and Fluffle Time...

These eBulbs work great and last a good long time.

Mom's stayed lit all night in her lamp.

They get dim as the hours go by but last mostly all night...

I also made eggs and toast in a skillet on the burner.

Lanny was impressed.

This was the HUGE white egg I got yesterday...

turns out it was a double yolk,

that's why it was SO big!!

The bigger yolks are the duck eggs...

The power finally came back on around 10am...

So I put Lanny to quick work 

installing the top two grow lights I got yesterday...

Ready to harvest...

And out to the birds...

Look at the Walking Stick Kale...

only two days and they are peeking out!

Isaac, Sky and Sweet Sylvia came by to see MeMaw...

and me and Papaw :-)

AND, the horsies!

Well, duh, I forgot to take a picture of the yummy

Taco Soup I made for Supper...

It was DELISH!

Last night we watched "Twister"

on the computer in the pitch dark bedroom :-)

Great movie to watch when the wind 

is throwing trees all over the hillside.

A really big tree took out the lines early yesterday afternoon.

Paula and Robbie and Shelly had to cut another 

small one that fell across the driveway after supper last night...

Oh, since there was no power Lanny went down 

and got us some Chinese food....

he had to drive under the big tree that was across the road 

with our power and internet lines all wrapped up in it!

This was the smaller one that fell later in the day...

Mom has been very unresponsive today.

Isaac and Sky came over and brought Sylvia.

Mom did mouth "baby" so she was aware of Sylvia.

She continues to talk about her mother...

Goodnight Family and Friends...

Continue to lift us up in your prayers.

We are thankful that she is not in pain...

God bless

and

Sweet Dreams!

Saturday on Walden's Mountain... April 1

Quiet Time...

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, 

do all to the glory of God. 

1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV

*****

Better late than never...

this is from yesterday.

Max was sleeping with Mom...

That little black spot is him between her feet...

Eggs, Bacon and Toast for the Men's Breakfast...

Daddy went with Lanny to run some errands...

Grilled Cheese for lunch...

And then the power went out!

The wind was horrible. 

Mom, thankfully, was not responsive yesterday 

so she was unaware that the power was out 

or that the weather was bad... 

Dad knew it, so it was an interesting evening. 

We have EBulbs and battery operated lanterns 

and were able to keep lights on until Dad went to bed. 

He had a big flashlight so he was content. 

I kept a lantern on in the living room so we all 

could have a little light. 

It is totally dark up on this hill!

I got up often during the night to check on Mom and Dad...
