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!

Happy Earth Day!

Plant a tree for cleaner air, food, and homes. :-)

Squirrels

In the Outbuilding.


I've counted as many as six at one time.

My son has taken pictures of them, too.

It seems to have finally stopped raining. The next couple days are supposed to be dry. Hopefully we can at least get the mowing done before the next rain hits. I doubt the garden will be dry before then. We'll see.

I bought some milkweed seeds to plant. Hopefully they will grow!

Have a blessed day. ♥

Thunder and rain today.

We had a lot of fog before the thunderstorms moved in.


We have a lot of fence to rebuild, too.

I took this, this morning, before the rain, too.


Way up over my head, though I did have to walk around a strand going from branch to ground.

I didn't take any pictures of fire ant hills; but there are quite a few big ones out in the pasture.
Just as most of us are getting better, the son living in the trailer is coming down with a cold; but we did find him a vehicle. He wants to do a lot of sightseeing. So different from boy three who doesn't like going out, or being around a lot of people, if he doesn't have to.

Son two has a blog of sorts, and a photo blog. I know he'd enjoy having visitors.

Take care and God bless. ♥

Allergies or colds

I don't know, but we've been sick for a few days. Just when we think we are feeling better, a short trip to town convinces us otherwise.
Two days ago I had a very low grade fever for the day. Yesterday I felt better, so I baked some bread!
I did not take pictures initially, because the dough was very stiff and crumbly and I thought oh great, another paper weight. (Yes, I know, usually even bad bread is good.)
However, after reading several googled pages, I put the bread in the microwave with a pitcher of hot water.
It rose!
This is how it looked after letting it rise in the pan, using the same method.


Here it is out of the oven.


A little lopsided, but one of the better looking loaves I've made so far. :-)

And here it is after I sliced and toasted a piece today.


Yummy!

I think we had enough rain yesterday for May flowers. It rained all day!

Blessings to you all. ♥
