Good Morning...
It's Thursday...
gonna be another scorcher!






Bible Study Time...
too warm already to open the door...
but we can hear Bucky out there,
already starting his day...



Out to the Barnyard...


Anna is waiting to get in to her "nest"...


And Elsa is just bulldozing!
















Sparkly Day...






I am making soup
to pressure can...
Amish raised Chicken Breast...


Lots of Peas, Corn,
Carrots, Green Beans,
Onions, Celery
and Potatoes...


Messes...


Milling Wheat Berries
for some Bread...



Mixed and ready to
long ferment on the counter...
Warm kitchen so it should
be great!


Double Decker...
14 pints of soup...


Made some Garlic Confit...
smells SO good...
great to smoosh onto
Homemade Bread...
or whatever!!


Another mess...
well, washed up
and no longer a mess :-)


It is so hot...
these girls have found several cool spots
throughout the day...
Their coop is shaded
and a bit cooler...


And then when the sun moves behind
the trees they can lounge
on the side of the barn...


I did go out mid way thru
the day and gave everyone
cool, fresh water
and a treat...



Waiting for the canner
to pressure down...
the pups
found themselves a cool spot as well...



Fourteen Pints
of Chicken Veggie Soup...



Out to the Barnyard...
HOT is definitely
an understatement!


Everyone's
finding cooler spots...


Except Lady...
she is getting a sun bath :-)
maybe because her feathers are white...
the dark hens get hotter
in the sun...


The Ducks love
when I make them a
mud puddle...



In for the Night...

Wednesday on the Mountain... July 1

Quiet Time in Bible Study...

πŸ”₯😎


“Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 

distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.”

Romans 12:9-13 NKJV


“When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, 

“You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.””

Luke 3:21-22 NKJV


“above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able 

to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”

Ephesians 6:16 NKJV


“Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; 

Remove your foot from evil.”

Proverbs 4:23-27 NKJV


“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, 

and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”

Romans 13:11-14 NKJV

Good Morning...

It's Wednesday

and

it's the first day of July!!


Patriotic Flag Happy First Day Of July! Good Morning! Pictures, Photos ...




Still looks full
but it is a waning gibbous...


..."what can I get into
this morning?..."



They aren't cuddling...
it's too hot even now :-)





Bible Study Time...


You know why she is giving
me the cold shoulder...
yes, 'cause it is several minutes
after 6 am!


Out to the Barnyard!








Harvesting...




She waits at the Goat door
until I open it...
she loves laying her egg in here...



I am overrun!
One cucumber plant...
I am SO glad I didn't 
plant more!




Out the window...


Headed down the hill around 9...
dropped off eggs,
went in to the CoOp
for Paula's bird seed,
to Aldi's for our main shop...


...and then to Freddy's
for lunch...


Checked on my
Pups while we waited
for our order...


Paula got Crispy Chicken
and I got my usual...
Jalapeno Burger!


We ran in to Kroger's
for our extras
and then headed home...
I put the groceries away
and sat down on the couch
for a few minutes...
Maggie lays on me a while
and then flops down on
the floor to cool off...


They both got hot :-)




And my crazy sister is
MOWING!!!
It is a small yard, so maybe
she is only a little crazy :-)

And then I realize I hear the
TORO out on the meadow and the
ONLY person using that is
my Lanny!!
He is definitely crazy...


It's so hot that I just about had a
sudden combustion reaction
out in the barnyard!!!
:-)

The Goat House is probably
ten degrees cooler...
we didn't plan it
but the Coop and the Goat House
are shaded and usually much cooler!


Gave everyone extra
cool water ...
