Just Getting It Done.

 Just Getting It Done.

 

Seems to me that something ALWAYS needs to be done around here. This morning the middle coop got cleaned out and the shtuff was put out on an area that needed some fertilizer and hay to cover the bare spot. Then the living room floor got dust mopped and then wet mopped. While all that was going on, some rice cooked in the rice pot, and then the rice and some veggies and a small bag of frozen chicken got stirred together for meals for this week. Flavored with curry powder and some salt, the mixture really would have been better if it had some soy sauce in it. Oh well. It is pretty tasty as it is.

 

So far today, the hens have given me a dozen eggs. The very first egg was from one of the little red hens, and it crushed when she got off the nest. At least now it will be easy to see which hen needs to be separated from the rest in order to avoid having the other eggs splattered with fresh egg stuff. If the long coop can be cleaned out by tomorrow, will have to catch that hen and put her inside that coop separate from the others. If another egg breaks in the nest, it may be more than one hen that is producing thin shells. Guess we might have three or four red hens that need to be separated. Hope not. [Somehow four red hens are now in long coop with feed and water!]

 

Have an appointment with Dava in the morning. The old woman gets sore all over, but my shoulders and back get tighter than a drum after working around in the coops. It really seems strange that the things we do on a normal basis can cause muscles to really snap and bark! It would make sense if the old woman worked in a stressful situation, but the most excitement around here is the dogs barking at the cars and trucks that go by or at the ding-a-ling who rides his little green scooter up and over the yards down at the end of the street. Dogs barking like that is totally non-stressful.

 

Tomorrow is the first day of April. How fast this year has been! But watching the weather reports, we are also reminded that this is tornado season. Bleah! Know the hail and wind can tear things up pretty badly, but those tornadoes are not anything to sneeze at—unless one is totally in sneeze city already! Seems the pollen is pretty bad this year. If we could get some decent amounts of rain around here, it might settle the pollen and dust somewhat. Pray for rain for areas that need it.

 

Have read just a bit about Israel and how they want to control all of Gaza. It really makes sense to bulldoze everything there and rebuild from the ground up. If the Palestinians can be sent to Egypt or Africa, they might have a better chance of having lives that are not full of terrorists and warfare. All we can do meanwhile it to pray that Israel can succeed in reducing or wiping out the terrorists. One terrorist is all it takes to start a war.

 

We are told to pray for blessings on Israel. That is one thing that we can do. Meanwhile, if a university has those on campus who are hateful to Jews or others, then we need to let it be known that we do not tolerate hatred toward Israel. Let us stand for peace.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
