Wonders .....

This has been another fun week. The car broke down ( it has a temp fix) and today I left the house with sewer water (uckie) in the shower, window open and sheet in front of the door. Am currently looking for a plumbers snake to see if that can be an easy fix ........ In the mist of this I was blessed with a second granddaughter on Wednesday. I can't wait to get my hands on her. I will also be able to see first granddaughter this next week, and of course I had to go get her something else for Christmas, to celebrate the birth of her cousin. Have found a good place in praise as all this stuff is happening around me, kinda fun to be happy and smiling as this that and the next is pulling for any funds i should think i have in the check book ............ Enjoy your Christmas, and for those who read this most of you I'll be seeing you soon,

With sad heart .....

Sad news sometime on Thursday morning, after I left the house Nita decided to lie down and enjoy the sun, unfortunately she could not get up on her own and I didn't make it home till after 9pm to find her down in the pen, wore out. after many attempts to get her on her feet, called the neighbors ect..... it became apparent she was down for good. This was the third time she had gotten down and could not get up, other two times I got to her right away. we had started walking daily in hopes of strengthening the back legs, she was stumbling on our last walk. Nita went to join Kayo, Annie and Savanah playing in knee high grass and forever sunshine. A forever thanks to those who were there to help that night. A special thanks to the one who helped to make my last wish come true.

What

What is gained by the power of touch? Took the inside dogs to the vet on Friday, the entire ride up and again on the way the boxer sat in the passenger seat with one paw on my arm. Every time he changed position he re-established his paw on my arm. Funny .....

What is in the power of the words we use to define our relationships with each other? Been working with someone who I can not seem to do anything right for. When I have asked her what is the problem she blows it if as if there is nothing there, however last night it seemed to leave the room and go out over airspace .... to the extent that I got texted 'What the hay?' ...

It is amazing what people in radio land pick up.

In less than 12 hours I comforted one and pissed off another, both totally unintentionally ... What is it that needs to be said to make the work situation better? How should I respond to someone who denies there is a problem, yet it is clear to people not in the room that there is something going on? What is the answer?

color

color, something we do not often think about, for most of us it is just there ..... till it is gone. then we wonder what happened. Once upon at lifetime ago, I lost my color ...... It took a lot of healing to get it back. Now it is not taken for granted. And the awesome virity of colors out there is mind boggling. Having said that, did you see the moon last night? Venus and Jupiter and the crescent moon were all aligned and will not do that again till after I am long gone ..... and my grand babies will have grand babies of their own ..... Here where I live the sky was clear last night and this morning .... the sky was black and the stars were bright. There were about a million stars out this morning when I went out to feed, pre work. The air was cool, but not biting like it gets when the wind blows. God was very evident with every breath, the earth felt still as if waiting for something ...... It came as a pink sunrise, at one point this morning life had a rose color touching everything ..... you could almost feel the color ...... something that does not happen very often, There is a green color that comes when the weather is susceptible to tornado's, but that is totally different ...... Just a reminder here .... So much of life is a one time shot ..... Enjoy It!!!!

been a while

Lots of things have been going on ..... some good, some not so good .... Nita went down again yesterday, yes I got her up with the help of the guy next door..... I went out later and cleaned her up and gave her goodies, had a good talk .......

Toby is at the vet, his surgery last week got infected and he tried to grow back a ball, LOL. took him in with the help of a friend, hope to get him back monday ......

The weather has been fun, yesterday woke up to drizzle, and warm some clouds .... then it got sunny, then cold and cloudy again with the clouds playing on the mountains, even some stars last night..... T got some really cool pictures of the sunset last night. today is breezy and cool, chance of snow/rain tonight tomorrow.

Can't tell I'm rambling and not going where i should with this .... now where is it I should go?

Waiting for the jellybean to come out and play, she is not wanting to play, Mom is feeling the end of the pregnancy blues, and pains, wish I could make it better for her ... Getting excited to go and see all for Christmas ... This year is going to be tight, sooooooooo it is hand made things for all, expat the grandgirls, they have some bought stuff ............ If anyone is interested I'll take plywood and Yesterdays News cat litter for Christmas this year, for reals.

Last Sunday in group, B made a statement about God's anointing moving away when you fail to do something He has told you to do..... That is kinda a no-brainer until you stop to think about it on a personal level. If I feel like my prayers are not even reaching the ceiling ---- I usually know that I'm out of step with what I should be doing. But do I take imitate action to change ---- Sometimes. What about the rest of the time .....

How important is my relationship with God .............. What things am I/ have I put in His place?
Kinda reeks of idolism (computer says I've made up a word). *** The first thing God wanted his people to know was He is God and we are to look to Him with all our heart, mind and spirit. And that nothing should be put in His place. *** Stop and think about that.

What is it that occupies our day? What important matter is pressing right this moment, that it has pushed God from the forefront of your thinking to second, third or even not there place?

See how easy it is to let God slip from first to ---- The big question is **WHY** do I/you allow that to happen. It is a choice .... What is it that is more important, more pressing, more satisfying than God?

Scary answer? Deep thinking needed.

That would make a neat poster ***Deep thinking needed****

got to go back to work, have a good day.

Yikes, graves ......

I'm working a grave ....... only one, then a short turn around and back to work at 2pm. It is funny all the tricks to try to sleep during the daylight hours ..... managed to meditate most of this evening and finely fell asleep when it started to get dark.... The inside cats thought this was a wonderful idea community bedtime is just what is needed when it is cold. Got the kitten back from the vet yesterday----after @ a three week stay, he has something that caused puss to come out his right ear... the vet can't find the cause, and he started up again this morning. started feeding him softened dry food and pro biotics, will put him on silver water and herbs in the next 48 hours, need to make the tea and water!!!!! This is something that I need to stop and get into serious prayer about, what to do for him and how to stand for his healing. It is funny how sometimes we (me) let something important slide ---- Not taking the time and energy needed to go to God for direction. Spiritual laziness ..... got to be one of the deadliest habits believers fall into......
I am something for a time which requires me to purposely spend time in prayer and reading the word twice a day ..... getting it done once is no problem ---- fitting the second time in ---- gets done most of the time but requires diligence. It amazes me how daily things eat up my time, things that need to be done for shure ----- but----leave me so tired that focusing can hard.
Learning to stop and take the time needed before I become un-focusable is a daily challange, so far I seem to be slightly ahead in the possitive, however that was today. Tomarrow is another day.

Envisionment

Sometime on Friday the neighbors dogs got under my house and got one of the kittens, this is the second litter they have gone after. No I did not see them get the cat: however, they have been chasing the parents in my yard and have been rooting around where the fencing was pulled away from the porch for the last few days. Found the rest of the kittens and one very spooked mama, all ok at this point. talked to the neighbors and they said they would keep the dogs up, also talked to one of the deputies and will start documenting when the dogs are in my yard, complete with pictures .... Think I passed this test with moderate grace, OK maybe not.... I did take the dead kitten and put it on their porch! that was the least ugly of my first thoughts, using the 22 was up there at the very top ..... the dogs are attached to a 9/10 year old boy so I rethought that one quickly ..... And, yes, I took the kitten away before they walked up on their porch .......

While walking the yard looking for the other kittens I kinda looked at the property and the trailers .... It all needs help .... I have kinda sat back and been on hold till June when the other trailer will be empty and the whole place is mine alone ...... special provisions from the sales contract has the old owner occupying her trailer till then ........ She emptied a storage unit and placed some stuff at another location and some stuff on the shared front porch and in the front yard .... I've left it there and added to it myself, focusing more on the fencing than anything else. Yesterday I saw clearly .... UGH!

Now to the reason for the title, Envisionment, spell check just let me know that is not a real word ---- I'm still going to use it. Definition the birthing of and the act of pulling together something that does not exist at this time but will at some time.

The word states something to the effect of ' my people die for a lack of vision', my home and property prove that totally.

I am allowing the whole thing to not so slowly fall apart waiting for June ..... Waiting to define my vision of what I want on the whole place to look like, house, barn, studio, fields and yard ....
That is not working ..... that is something that needs to change, now .....
What is it I want and what little (for me it all has to be little) steps need to be taken to fix this place up? Clean up, take apart, put back together ..... and finish the fencing, which is what I was doing when I found the dead kitten ..............................

I like when things circle around and you know you are finished

persecution

Persecution is not the manifestation of another person's hate for you. It's a manifestation of Satan's fear of you.

That is a quote from Kenneth Copeland's daily Faith to Faith I receive e-mail daily. All that in place .....

What change in thinking will there be if this is how we look at the slights and brick walls we find ourselves facing on a daily basis? Talk about self esteem .... I am a person to be feared, not for who I am, but for who stands with me ......... When we finely allow ourselves to take that into our spirit and make it a part of who we are ..... And will allow us to focus our response where it belongs ..... to God and his protection promised to each one of us who will call upon his name in the time of trouble ...... In my mind I saw an image of my boxer pup (65lbs) who when challenged will run and hide behind me to bark. Looks silly, but it works. I will not let anything happen to him. We may look silly not reacting how the world or the physical persecutor would expect, but just look at the results ... the bully and his instrument will be put in their place by our protector.

Trust

Just stopping by before I go do stand-by at a football game, the temp should be in the mid 40 to high 30's, burrrrrrrrrrrrrr
By my front door is a note it reads: the test is not in the situation, but in how you react to the situation.

I have heard how so many Christians are distraught over the results of the elections ..... this is not our test, what is, is what we are called to do from this point on. If you searched God and acted on what you believe he wanted you to do, ie. voting. then you did what you were suppose to do.

"BUT WE PRAYED (for different results)"

Yes, but did we pray for God to be in the elections, I know the group I prayed with did, then the result must of been in God's hands, and we are right where we should be. Think about that.....
For a lot of people that will mean getting back before God and seeking direction. I truly do not know what the future holds with this new president, how the world will react to him, even how we will react to him .....
The word says we are to pray for out leaders, maybe this is a calling to prayer for some of us lazy people who would leave the praying for others ...........

Obama was not my first choice for president, however is now is my president. MY JOB is to pray God's wisdom and direction into his life and actions from this moment on ...... I believe my prayers will be answered. The word states that our hope is in the Lord, and all we have to do is call .............

Fret not, for your help comes from the Lord

Elections

Here it is the Monday before ***** THE BIG DAY***** and all's I can feel is relief, I am sooooooooo tired of all the negative talk out there, where is what the candidate can do for the people? I read somewhere the presidential race should not be totally based on the popular ideas out there, but on the impact that that person is going to have on the Supreme Court. This president will seat up to 5 persons in that court..... and they are there for life ...... these judges will have an input on my great-grand children.......... I believe my vote will count, I've already exercised that right (why wait, I didn't have to wait in line). It should be interesting to see how things fall in the next 24-48 hours.... with the possibility of protesting the results, Nov 17 is the final date ........ sure be glad when this is a done deal....... I'm ready to go home, Good luck with with your choices ...................

answered prayer

I love the weekend ..... understand this is not my weekend, I work a shift so my weekend comes mid week for most of the world, this is a time where people try to relax and have a good time. I work in a county sheriff dept ---dispatching .... I also run EMS ..... Sooooooooooooo think about it, if people are having fun and not getting into trouble, I'm ok with that....

Spent the last week watching Nita. Jesse hurt her bad last week and the old lady took a few days to work out the sore, I did get her a seprate pen built and she will not share a pen or pasture with jesse again, ever. Was hoping that Jesse's attitude was hormones and a little copper would fix things, WRONG. Got the ladies at the bookmobile looking for a book on herbs and horses, hope to find something in that.

As I said I spent a lot of time watching Nita, which translates to PRAYING, which causes thinking..... Guess it was Monday, there were a couple of animal issues here at work, one of my co workers little (less than 3lbs) dog got lost, a cool dog at the shelter was facing being put down unless the owner was found, one of the guy's dog was bitten by something and was real sick, then there was Nita...... I went home that night and spent some good time with the Lord...... the end result ..... Wed the little dog came home skinnier than before but ok, the owners of the dog were found, and Nita is moving and eating almost like before, the other dog is still under the weather, and going to the vet on Monday. She is 14yo and been with out the use of her back end for quite a while. The Point, I needed answered prayer in my life, I needed God to say he is listening to me and I'm where I should be at the present...... This week (in the animal realm) God let me know He is there and listening. Don't give up on Pepper yet, I haven't. As some of you know I believe in geriatric animals and their amazing ability to keep on going.

What is it that happens when we pray and do not see the immediate results of change? That is where we have to choose to believe that prayers are truth and have the very real ability to change a situation. To do otherwise is to null and void the time and energy used in the original asking. Thinking back, I do not remember a whole lot of teaching on the hanging on to part of praying, could be because I come out of the Episcopal tradition, and well that should of been covered in Sunday School or at the very least conformation class..... might of been, I do not remember. What little teaching I did get I got from some good teachers, and I am extremely thankful. One called it 'bull-dog faith', the kind that attaches itself to something and does not let go. 'Speaking the Word' over a situation, 'Standing In Faith', all of these terms denote some kind of action on the part of the one believing, and depending on the situation some hard work.

Does prayer always work? YES! Our problem is that we sometimes give up on God before He gets the chance to work. And even better, we are not asking................ or are asking outside of the conditions where prayer is acceptable, and that my friend opens a whole new door......

In defence of the Episcopal Church, the tenants of their faith are awesome, they are not always taught, and not always followed, as with everything else in life ...... taking directions are the option of the person needing them .... out there but not always wanted...............

Continued

Left the last post at the thought of truth, found a wonderful quote off a friend's blog and like any good friend copied it and it goes as follows:

What is truth? Here's (oh, you'll never guess who I'm gonna quote) Nouwen on the matter:"Jesus sends us the Spirit so that we may be led to the full truth of the divine life. Truth does not mean an idea, concept or doctrine, but the true relationship. To be led into the truth is to be led into the same relationship that Jesus has with the Father; it is to enter into a divine betrothal." (Making All Things New 54)

This comes off Looking Deeper a awesome blog that comes from a wonderful christian woman, check it out....... her reading list is something to look into.

As long as I can remember the fact that as a christian I am the bride of Christ has been taught. This little twist in how I think opens a whole new door in which I can enter and explore. The Word talks about 'walking in the Truth', a right relationship is much easier to walk in than .... an idea, concept or doctrine ..... for we walk in a relationship with God whether or not we acknowledge Him or not. It is our choice how healthy that relationship is.

HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM? All relationships need upkeep, don't let the daily grind keep you from enjoying this one.

UPKEEP
Another word for the day, Jessi kicked Nita's butt yesterday, not sure how bad at this point, I did get to put up more fencing separating the two ladies yesterday, I even strung wire fencing on my own ..... I did get to see some of Jessi's anger as she lit into Zeb, poor boy..... Jessi has gotten a little (lot) 'touchie' since the colt came home, I put copper in her water with the hopes this is a hormone problem, and I explained to her the difference of MEGA B**** and plain B****, the plain is what we all work for and the MEGA is not acceptable. Lets see how she took that lecture.
One other situation there is a kitten under the porch, it came out of the nest and for some reason mom and dad did not go get it last night, sure had healthy lungs this am. If still yelling when I get home I have to decide if I go under the porch and get it or leave it to nature (guess which will be the option). Kids I think I already have a home for it if I can get it to eat freely ......
Today would be a good day to knock down the dried weeds and get ready to burn on my days off. Kudos to the outside cats for keeping the mice and rats away from the houses ..... Moved Toby, the border collie, closer to the hay, he is having a blast digging out rodents in his new location, If I were wise I would move him around the top part of the property and clear out the rodents.

Still have not gotten on the roof yet, that is a must .... and I need to get the oil changed on the car .... get hay ..... dry vegetables .................................

Did discover one of the neatest snacks .... dried green chili .......... I am in love ...... wish I had more chili to dry .......

Enjoy your day!

ADDITIONAL THOUGHT
I have read several quotes from Henri Nouwen, he makes you think. I am going to get the bookmobile to see if they can get some of his books for me, you should try to find some of his works, also.

Life's un-realistic directions

In the last week the "Odd News, Online" has held several unique articles, one on the need to give chimps 'person-hood' because they are dying off and that the greater the smell of a mouse fart means that he is lowering his blood pressure. Yes I do look for the strange articles to read.... Darwin would be proud, what he could not do in his 15 minutes of fame, the green people may pull off..... after all the chimp is the closest of our relatives on this earth, right? I do not think so. We do need to be mindful of the other creatures on this planet, God gave man the job to watch over things, but granting them person-hood!!!! If that happens we will have to give them Medicaid and food stamps, and I will be responsible in my taxes to support the poor chimps that are being held against their will in zoos and other places ...... OH wait we can let them go live in the forest where the spotted owl used to live before they moved out because the green people allowed it to become to overgrown and they, the owls, could not get to the mice on the floor of the forest. Before anyone outside of my realm starts to react, be advised I do have some solar power on my property and am looking into converting to wind/solar for the majority of my power, I recycle and I know how to hyper-mile my car.... But I do not have to agree or pay for the humanization of a chimp and I can express my discuss at the thought.....

When my kids were younger, when I was younger, I had mice and rats for pets, I was under the impression that there were things you did not give them because they did not have the ability to burp or fart ie.... carbonated beverages would kill them ..... used coke to kill wild mice around the house, it worked........ not any more barbaric than the snap traps ...... There is a study, yes we most likely paid for it, that studied the chemical make-up of a mouse fart and it's relationship to the mouse's blood pressure...... If this is real then more power to them ..... This study also destroys the idea that the beans or the orange juice is what is making you stink.... JUST TO TAKE THE WEIRD ANOTHER STEP ..... who decided that mice fart, how did they know, how bad can a mouse fart smell???? and how totally awesome is a mind that would even put the idea of a fart and blood pressure in the same sentence..... I always had trouble with coming up with the unique science fair questions, this guy must of been one of the all time science fair winners, or he smokes pot and just thinks tooooooooooooooo much.



The simple fact both these articles are out there is a striking reflection on where the world is going.... We as a people could care less for the people under bridges, jobless, and homeless. But are concerned that the chimp might feel slighted on it's way off this planet that we did not recognize it as an individual while it was here. IN MY HOUSE, IN MY WORLD all my animals are considered a separate being and each has their own personality, from the inside menagerie to the wild cats and rabbits that call my land their home..... I'm not asking you to pay for my beliefs now or down the line.....



Where is this all going? it was much more entertaining that the political garbage which is being strong across the airwaves,



Before my co-worker left to go home and go to bed we talked about where God is going to allow this Country to go in the next few years. Perhaps we are on the cusp of the end of times, or just another worldwide depression. What ever your take on it, we are going to enter into some real interesting times...... I have been amazed at how the economy is existing on such a false premise. and has done so for years, what makes us think we can bail out some of the system and not all of it? why do I need to pay for the mistakes of others, when mine need help?

not original thoughts..... but valid questions. Told a study group the other night God had it right in the idea of the year of jubilee, lets just give every one a clear slate, and those who built their empires correctly will continue on and those who did not will get a chance to start over, I do not mean that people have to give up what they have but a cancellation of all debt. think about that .... sure somewhere someone will feel exploited, that is the rule of self..... but I bet it would work better than bailing some out and leaving the rest, the lowly middle class and poor to flounder. But I really like the e-mail that said lets give the bailout money to the tax payers and we'll pay our taxes on that money (giving money back to the one who gave it to us) and we could all pay off our debt and get head. concept...... Again only words and thoughts ..... no positive action......



Just spent @5 minutes looking for something to have on the TV here at work, the selection runs mostly in the areas of lust and murder, and most contain both ..... decided to try the public TV that is going to be gardening and woodworking ..... wonder why the above conversations can take place ..... the mind set of the people is what they fill their minds with ...... what is your mind full of? and where did it come from? what were you watching today? what were you listening to today? How much of what you spent your time on today was truly edifying to yourself and others? These are areas that I am looking into in my life. These are questions that I am asking myself. Where Do I Positively touch others in my everyday words and actions? Do I? In the things I've been reading and the discussions I've had in some of my groups, people, myself up front, are self deceiving, we see what we want to see and acknowledge what we want to acknowledge. When and where do we allow the truth to manifest itself? And most importantly what do we use as the basis of our Truth? I believe in the God of the Christian/Jewish Bible. The more I look into what is written in that Book the greater the appreciation that it was put into writing such a long time ago....

rambeling

Sure wish that I had a machine like in the movies, the one that you talk into as you walk around and it gets saved like a diary. While I was walking around the house and doing dishes I lots to say and think, maybe having the Internet at the house is something to really think about.......

Did want to say that I had a powerful experience yesterday. While in the horse pen, I raised my arms to move Zeb and Jesse back away from Nita and three sections of fence fell to the ground, no one was anywhere by the fence. Think about it, if for some reason Jesse had decided to run I would never have caught the horses, everyone would of followed her awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... no one went over the fence and I tied one panel to the cholla and put up another t post.....

Having fun with colors, just for anyone's information did put natural blond hair coloring on my hair this morning and it came out red!!!!!!!!!, Ok it is light strawberry but it is still RED!!!!

The weather report states the weather will go down into the low 30 this next few days, My weekend.... will have to cover the plants and or pick and dry lots of green tomato's. I got a strawberry this morning it was not a sweet as the earlier ones, I picked it early when i noticed that the one next to it had a bite taken out of it, most likely a rodent.
Outside kittys are enjoying the fact i forgot i had turkey in the fridg and it got tooooooo old for me to eat, they think i luv them very much. Momma looks like she is still nursing, guess the kittens should be about 4-5 weeks old. have not seen any traces of them, and I need to get the underside of the house covered so the neighbors dogs can't get to this bunch, with the birds of the air and the dogs and coyotes i wonder if i am going to have to worry about an over population of the cats. Oreo got out of the chicken coop and when he came back he was real skittish, he is not even trying to get out when I go in. Something out there is Scary!

Started reading the prophets in the Message Bible, interesting wording. I like the way some things are stated, it makes you think, then there are a few old adages placed here and there that I have trouble with coming from the Word. Of course since i do not have the book with me i can not give an example. Again another reason to have the computer at the house working ... Maybe i should write it long hand at home and bring it in and type it out....... that would make this a much better reading, still having trouble thinking anyone can read what i think .... so much for private thoughts. I'm going to put this to bed and get some dinner, this shift is going slowly, new schedules take time to get used to, almost missed coming in today ,,,,,

changes

Finished up the last week of a small group last night. One of the last questions we discussed was about regrets, in loving, laughing, giving and living. All were pretty well agreeded to change anything in the past would possibly place us somewhere else in the now. I like my now, and the bumps and bruises, although painful put me where I am now. Somewhere I read "I am the sum total of all I have lived".
Because of the events of the last 2-3 (15)(54) years, I have looked back and judged what has passed. (For my kids who are reading this, I thank you for my good report) I realized that as a mother I am a success, all of my kidos are out of the nest and are people I am proud to know, while a couple of their lives are currently in change, they have the strength of character to make the decisions to find their true path, the one God has for them to follow. I have also been able to follow a lot of the paths I have wanted to, reached goals and explored areas that interested me. I have to say that there are only one or two things that I had thought of doing from childhood that I have not yet attempted, the rest I have tried and either have moved on or are currently doing.
Having looked at this in the light of last nights discussions, I realize that if I can call something in my life a success then that part is ended and a new dimension has been opened. That was a DUH, moment when I realized that last night on the way home from town.
The committed christian life would have you: love more, laugh more, give more and live more. The joy of the Lord would demand that of us. This is not something we can change in our past, but the now and the future is wide open to change.

by the by the blond hair color has been pulled down off the top shelf and that change will happen soon .....

blessings and fencing

It is amazing how much I take for granted, go just a week and a half with out running water, owning livestock and domestic animals, not to mention the daily needs ..... thank you to a special friend who took his time to find a pump, and pull a well which ended up being twice as deep as expected.... LOL It was magic to go home and flush and wash and water.
Making changes to the horse situation, trying to get the whole of the property fenced so that they all can go out and play. That Means ....... putting t-post in the ground, and stringing lots of wire..... found out that you can get quite a goose egg if the t-post pounder hits you in the head, and the headache lasts for days.... did manage to get a pen for a returning horse up by my self and figured out how to straighten curled panels.... blessing in this is the hose will go to the new pen and i did not have to find the other piece of hose i put in a safe place 20 months ago. I need to get the fence up shortly and put up a pen for the old mare, she is not happy in with jesse. I'm hoping the 4 acres will be enough for the two of them to not be ugly with each other. The poor gelding doesn't know whether to run from jesse or chase nita. The trials of living with girls.....
Will go home today and hopefully get the last two holes dug for en posts then the wire strung..... the weather may change this next week and bring rain, would like the charger to have a couple of days of charging before weather comes in. A friend says I am doing overkill on the wire, 3, but i want there to lat least appear to be something there even if it doesn't bite. OH yea, they all will not be hot. thinking i need to do regular gates, but not sure that this fence is where i want it when i get a house.
Am planning on changing my hair to blond, the bump on the head confirmed that would be a good idea.

Weather coming in

According to the weather man there is snow for the northern part of the state, this afternoon as i watched my neighbors fill my water tanks the wind had a big nip in it. Guess this is the end of indian summer, before i left for work tonight i covered the tomato bushes with sheets, in the hope of getting a few more vine ripe ones.
Being with out water for almost a week is a journey did not realize i had a hand washing fetish. If i was just keeping the house going it would not be much to think about. Three horses drink lots of water.... thank God there are neighbors like the ones next door. They have filled my tanks twice during this time and they are planning on keeping me in water till i get my well up and going. I brought in @15 gallons for the house, dishes, bath, toity, dogs & cats. believe i have less than 5 left. Been thinking there needs to be axcess to the water that is not dependent on a pump.
In days of old they got water out of the ground just fine, i only have to dig 150 feet straight down. LOL
I bought this property knowing there would be up-keep, this past few weeks i realized how much... windows need plastic for the winter, roof needs to be patched, lean-to roof also. fencing needs to go up, got news that the colt is coming back and a whole pasture needs to be put in to keep him in. this would be something if i had a clue how to do all this..... but like most everything else if you think about it you can figure it out. there are some disadvantages for being raised a princess..... daddy never taught me to swing a hammer or fix a toilet, gotten fairly good at both.
Decided to try to eat raw for at least part of my week, that means dehydrating the goodies from the garden and learning to rehydrate things without cooking. If i fail at this i'll have lots of soup stuff. Also been making my own bread, haven't gotten the fluffy down, but made some good sandwhich stuff.
