Chicks and Ducks

 

And Greg's hose hanger.

The Fowl Palace

 

Hannah's design, her dad's muscle.

Yellow birds

 

And the bug tree is cut up so it can be moved now.

Kids chicken pen

 Is taking shape.

Greg has hunted them up some old tin for the roof.  Maybe by the end of summer they will be getting eggs.

Thought for Today

 

Extra Good Friday

 I had the day off.  Enjoyed a leisurely day. Even took a nap.

 

Cleaned & Organized

 

Greg has cleaned all the junk from around our big elm tree. It was always grown up in weeds because of all the equipment and junk. Now he can keep it mowed.

Last week I went through all my jeans and got rid of the ones I couldn't or didn't wear. Today, I wash all my t shirts and organized them into one drawer.  I had 3 drawers of tops and shorts.  I got rid of the ones I don't wear. Now I have this drawer of tops and a few shorts and knee pants in another drawer. I organized the tops by color, with the ones I wear most on top.

Junk be gone.

Neighbors

 

Have bought baby chick's. If they live, Greg is going to help them build a pen.

Here's my Neighbor's Sign

 

Here's My Sign

 

It is 90 right now, and going to be like this all weekend. In March!

Must be Spring

 

I can't get a good picture of them from inside, but I have several Robin's in my yard this evening.

New Leaf

 

I walked to the cemetery and back this morning, about 2 miles. When it is warm, I am going to at least do my mile when I get home from work. Tomorrow and Tuesday it is going to be cold, then back to 60s and 70s the rest of the week.

The. I went to Church. Korie from work that has been asking if I am going to church was not there. I am going to ask her where she was.

Cleaning the shop

 Greg has been cleaning the junk out of the old house. It makes a great shop.  Has a cement floor, a pull up door wide enough to drive a truck inside, and a wood stove.

Home again

 I went to Sister Betty's Friday and came home this morning. Made it down the we re and back without running over anything or anybody 

I walked down to the old cemetery on Dan's field this afternoon. A huge dead tree tree has fallen down sometime last year. Someone tried to cut it up, but it is a real mess.

Greg has set my metal sunflowers in cement so they won't fall over.  They look so pretty.

Forever Flowers

 

Goldfinch on my feeder.

So pretty.

Greg set my metal sunflowers 🌻 in cement today. They should stay put now.

I got my hair cut. It was getting shaggy. Looks much better.

Library

 

I went to the Berryville library Friday and got books. I read these 2 and enjoyed them both.  Helen would say I wasted 2 days.

I did my taxes this morning. Federal taxes were less than last year, but hurt more.

Bargain Day

 

These were all $1  per pack at Walmart today. I dud Sister Helen's thing and bought more than I could possibly wear.

75 yesterday, warmer today. Yepee!

Tuesday going down

 

Cooler

 It was much cooler yesterday and today, but weather man  says to expect 70s this coming weekend. I am ready.

Yellow flowers to cheer your day.

A Book to Read

 

A Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Craft. I got it at the hospital thrift at Harrison. It was priced at 50 cents, but I gave them a whole dollar. It is thought to be written about 1861 or so. 

New and Old

 

Greg is cleaning out the old house. He found this from 2000.

Jr. And Michelle got me a door camera for Christmas. Jr. Came down yesterday and installed it.  It works really well. This was a video, but blogger does not play well with video. Most people call this a doorbell camera, but I do not have a doorbell. Hence, door camera.

Weather is delightful. We got rain yesterday, but lots of sunshine today. At 2:30, I walked my mile in shirtsleeves, no jacket.

We are having beautiful weather

 

Tipped 75 today. I am loving it. Greg even grilled steaks yesterday.

A prayer

A Democratic congressman shamed President Donald Trump during a prayer from just feet away.

Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) spoke Thursday morning at the bipartisan National Prayer Breakfast, where he cited scripture in his intercession asking God to open the 79-year-old president's heart to greater compassion and to follow Christ's teachings, as Trump stood by shifting his weight from foot to foot behind him.

"We also be reminded that we ask for the word of God, our good and gracious God, we pray for the health and deliberations of the president of the United States," Jackson said, "and we pray that you would be the final arbiter of whatever decisions he endeavors to make, that you would increase the stature of his wisdom, because without you, none of us can adjudicate the overwhelming details of leadership and life today we pray for America and we pray for all parliamentarians around the world.".

"The Book of Timothy teaches us that you have been entrusted with leadership today we pray for the future of this nation and that you would leave this president into greater levels of compassion for your namesake," Jackson continued. "We pray that you would protect him from the iniquities of evil and that you would give him greater clarity, greater courage and greater capacity to do what is right and forever challenges. Today we remind him that the lives of millions of people are in his hands and that he has the power to turn mourning into dancing or to reduce the country into cosmic elegy of chaos and suffering, and it is because of this that we pray that the best of this president would rise among us for the sake of this nation, for the sake of this world, we pray that goodness and mercy would announce themselves in his life in new and powerful ways."

 

Better weather

 It almost made it to 60 today. Snow is almost gone. I walked to Dan's and back in the mud after work.

I found the feathers in the road. They look like woodpecker feathers.

I saw this woodpecker in the trees last week. I think maybe a hawk found him.

It is supposed to be warmer all week. I turned the heat and dripping water off in the old house this morning. It had been on for over a week. I am ready for spring.
