Sad

Last night, we attended a graduation ceremony at a local college. When the National Anthem was played, there was not one person that I could see who had their hand over their heart. This is a dishonor and shows disrespect for our country. I wanted to scream at them.

My Sons

I like it when my sons call me up on holidays–Mother’s day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, my birthday and such. However, I really LOVE it when they call me up just to visit and to share their lives with me.

Picking

I just picked a big bouquet of white lilacs. Vegetables feed my body, flowers feed my soul.

Daisy

Daisy, my tiny ewe lamb, is growing. She can finally reach her Mom and drink from the “spouts’. Daisy loves me, comes when I call her, and likes to be held and cuddled. Life is good!

Planting Beans

I planted Scarlett Runner pole beans, Provider green bears and Pencil Pod wax beans this morning. We have a grand crop of dandelions that should be pulled up. However, it is more fun to plant beans!

Rain

You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, whereby You confirmed Your inheritance, when it was weary.

Bottle Lamb

I have a new bottle lamb. Her name is Lily. The old ewe died last night.

Old Ewe

The old sheep is down. She has not moved for three days. She may be on her way to a better pasture. I told her this morning that it is okay to go. I will take care of her baby lamb. The lamb is a ewe, her Mother’s replacement. She seems to be content to sit on my lap and drink from a baby bottle. The old sheep has had a “good run” at our farm. She was born here and grazed these pastures. I know that there is a season for life and a season for death. Right now, it is a sad thing for me to watch.

“He gives and takes away, He gives and takes away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord.”
