Changing the Sheets.

 Changing the Sheets.

 

So, the purple sheets got washed this morning and the gold sheets were put on the bed. The top blanket was folded and put away because it is getting so much warmer, and the green fuzzy blanket took the place of the grey fuzzy blanket. Everything has been washed and most of it put away now. Somehow that feels like a lot already. But my mom would have laughed. She had a ringer washer for our clothes for years. She also used the clothes line in the back yard instead of an automatic dryer. Oh, the changes we have seen in life!

 

The hens have been happy enough this morning to lay enough eggs to fill up another carton. Sent some home with Michelle Malay yesterday, but she left a big basket of dog treats and stuff for my critters. Two cans of out-of-date tuna got fed to my dogs. Thompson said, “Thank you very kindly!” Go figure. Sometimes one dog will eat things that the other one refuses.

 

President Trump is in Saudi Arabia this morning. Here’s hoping that he can persuade them to sign the Abraham Accords. Even if not, it is good that he can visit with them in a good atmosphere of cooperation. Right now, my concerns see Russia at the Finnish border!

 

It occurred to me this morning that as much as learning from the Talmud lessons has helped me understand some things, reading my Bible is so relaxing and soothing to my spirit. Just don’t think that this bunch of knowledge can substitute for the Word.

 

Jennifer asked me to save some Bluebonnet seeds for her when the flowers dry up. So many of them sprouted between the slabs of stone on the walkway. Think the hens got out and scratched up the ones next to the house. Somehow a tomato cage or something is going to have to protect my new fig tree. According to the tag that came with it, winter hardy is not one of its characteristics. Probably should have put it in a great big pot to move around when winter comes again.

 

Will need one more sack of feed soon and will pick up one tomato plant and one sweet pepper plant over at the Feed and Garden Store. They have healthy looking plants with a decent price. Maybe tomorrow. It feels pretty warm right about now. Also, need to find a good container for the plants that is hen-proof!

 

My shower this morning included some coconut oil to keep the skeeters off. Not sure how effective it is, but so far three trips out to the coops have not included any slapping of the little black meanies! Despise those critters! Had to walk the fence line looking for places Thompson could have gotten under and nearly had a pint of blood loss because of the mosquitoes!! Ended up putting cement blocks in the two areas that might have allowed him to slide under. That dog and the dadgummed rabbits!

 

Tami Yonts posted that they took out a big chest tube this morning. Thinking that this is a major positive step in her healing. Let’s keep praying for her and others who need our prayers.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
