About Me

My photo
Retired, housewife, mother of three. Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us. Praise God for His mercy and love!

So the year is almost half over.

 Not posting much.  Still try to read blogs. Comment when I feel I have something to say. 

So, a few pictures.

I have never seen ducks perch. Sorry for the quality but as you can see it was early morning and I spotted them as we were leaving the house. 


Not sure why; but I never knew that potatoes bloomed.


For me, potatoes are the easiest things to grow. Even if you can't take care of them properly, they will give you a harvest. Thank you, Lord. :)

We have a cat that adopted us. Not sure what happened to her tail. It was like that when she said she needed to live with us. Hubby named her Punkin. She LOVES to run. Her nickname is Punkin McQueen. She also likes to climb. Yes, that is a hand truck that she likes to climb on to see where else she might be able to get to. :)


If I did it right, this link will open in a new window to show her speed...

Just wait... :)

Crawfish season is almost over. May try to get one more meal if we can. :)



Hard to believe it has been two months now. There many times when it is definitely believable. 

You all be safe and God bless.

Around the house

 The mowing "Supervisors" checking to see where all the bugs and frogs are. :)




Magnolias are blooming.



As is the Catalpa tree.



Too bad we are in the middle of farm land. We never see catalpa worms. ..


You all be safe and God bless.

I can only Imagine

 This photo is from what I have come to call "The Before Time". Before God let the tornado take our farmhouse; but protected us.


One of my five brothers took this picture two years before hubby retired from Civil Service. We drove back and forth from NC for four years, if you will recall; before he actually decided to retire. On one trip my brother thought they could make it, too. He and his wife had come down from Michigan. It rained most of the time they were here.

But on the nice days, he and my hubby built these steps. Brother is a carpenter (well, he runs a construction company) and these steps will last long after nature takes back the house.

I still think about trying to move these steps, but too much stuff in the way now. 

You all be safe and God bless.

48 years, 8 months, 3 weeks and 6 days

 That is what the anniversary banner at the bottom of my blog reads today.

I Praise God for every day I had with him.

No more pain now.

You all be safe and God bless.

Praise God in all things.

 It would seem His will is not what I had hoped; but His will is to be praised.

I've been told it's probably a matter of days.

You all be safe, God bless and love the ones you hold dear.

And praise God in everything.
