Life on a Small Pecan Farm & the Recognition of God in All of It.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009
It is a glorious day here! When Danny & I first got up we observed some beautiful new birds visiting around the feeders. I wish I had a picture but they were so small I couldn't have ever gotten close enough for a shot. According to my bird book they were Inigo Buntings.
As we opened the door to the front porch we were greeted with a brilliant sunrise and the sweet smell of honey suckle.
I am sitting on the porch now. I wish you all could be here with me drinking a cup of fresh ground coffee and enjoying the show GOD has put on for me this morning.
The doves are who-whoing and cooing. I am watching a red tail hawk playing in the orchard. He is dipping from tree to tree occasionally chasing another bird.
A humming bird is coming back and to to the feeder here close to me.
The pecan trees have budded out all through the orchard. They are gorgeous!
The dew is dripping off the house in the most relaxing way. Now a wood pecker is drumming in a tree to my right.
I see a squirrel off in the orchard scurrying on the ground. Fun to watch the little fella but my advice to him is "pack up an move before Danny sees ya"!!
The air is crisp and cool, just right for porch sitting.
"Two things I ask of you O LORD, do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise I may have too much and disown you and say Who is the LORD? Or I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the name of my GOD."
I feel rich this morning but these riches have HIS name all over them! I could not disown HIM for if I did I would disown these riches before me this morning!

EASTER 2009
I had to work this past weekend so we hunted eggs with Little Package on Thursday and Friday. This was her first time hunting eggs & she had a ball!
After hunting eggs Poppa put some candy in the eggs and showed Little Package how to get her prize.
I was tickled to find out that Little Package went to church with family members yesterday. This is the dress she wore. Since I couldn't see her Easter Sunday, I dressed her up and took a few pictures before she went back home.
I dont know how I did it, but I was able to catch the Easter Bunny on a practice run.
Easter is my favorite celebration. After all it is a celebration of what Jesus Christ did for us.

RAINY DAY
We have already received over 6 inches of rain since Saturday. The way it's pouring right now....I'm betting another 4 inches at least. Too much at one time.
This is what it look like out my front door.
And this is what it looks like out my back door. The pond is full.
This is how it looks on the dirt road I live on. It is horrible when it rains.
The water backs up into the field. It is bad on the pecan trees. For years now, we have been trying to get the county to spend some of our tax dollars on cutting a ditch on the opposite side of the road.......to no avail!
So what about yall? Are ya wet yet?

AND TWO WEEKS AFTER MY LAST POST......THERE WAS UNCLE SAM AND SAVANNAH!!
Time sure goes by quickly. I had to stop and think, what the french toast I had done over the past two weeks. (My mama had to call and ask me what did I mean when I said "What the French Toast". You know, it's an expression I got off of the Orbitz gum commercial....made me laugh!) Doctors appointments...we cant seem to go to terribly long without having to hit one up. I counted two in the past 2 weeks.
Then my husband had to threaten me within an inch of my life to get our taxes done. It took me a day and a half.....like 12 hours of Uncle Sam junk! I hate it!
My Mama came this past week and we had a good time. Spring had hit here in full bloom! Dogwoods an Azaleas galore.
We loaded up the Little Package and went to Savannah for a tour of the Historic District. The weather was perfect! Mama snapped a picture of Little Package and me on River Street.
All the old Squares and Parks were so beautiful with Spring flowers. Here is a picture taken in one of the many beautiful squares of Old Savannah.
If you've never been to Savannah....go in the Spring, do a Trolley tour ($10-$20, depending on the tour group you pick and the package you select). The tour is way worth the money. They give some really good history lessons! Or you could just call me & I'll meet you there! We'll go eat!!!
So that is what's been going on here. I'll be catching up with all of you this week!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!
Not much going on here today. I've been watching the St. Patrick's Day festivities in Savannah since 5:00 this morning. All kinds of good things going on there....but I have the best seat in the house....on my couch! I watched Mass held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. It was a very nice ceremony. The parade is on now. The weather is cool right now & it is still overcast here & in Savannah. Luckily (the luck of the Irish you know) it is not raining.
So how are you celebrating St. Patty's Day?

TRUTH
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE:
The Message (a fresh way to read Scripture), Theadora's Diary. By:Penny Culliford. This is an easy read but I have not had the opportunity to finish it yet.
ON MY TV:
Not a whole lot of anything. There wasn't much on last week to catch on DVR.
ON THE MENU TONIGHT:
Shrimp and baked potatoes.....not sure if the shrimp will be fried or grilled. Danny cooks the shrimp in this house!
ON MY TO DO LIST:
1.My father-n-law's birthday is today. Danny, Little Package & I are delivering him his favorite breakfast this morning along with a goody bag of oatmeal cookies I baked.
2. Got a couple doctors appointments this week.
3. Plant a few flower seeds.
NEW RECIPE I TRIED LAST WEEK:
Grilled Steak Kabobs
I cut two nice size steaks into chunks. Marinated the meat in Italian & Parmesan dressing for 1 1/2 hours.
Alternated on the skewer: meat, sliced bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Grilled for about 10 minutes (we like the meat cooked medium). Served with yellow rice. We really enjoyed these. It was easy & tasty!
IN THE CRAFT BASKET:
Same thing as last week....nothing!
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Spring!!!! I think it has arrived here! Also looking forward to computerized charting at work. I think it will make things a lot easier in the nursing world.
HOMEMAKING TIP FOR THIS WEEK: Get out of DEBT! Get on a budget! Crown Financial has a wonderful Christian based guide to money management. I went through this class years ago at my church. It was awesome. They also have a website & host a radio show with really sound advice about everything to do with your money. DO IT!! It's the best thing you can do as a homemaker!
FAVORITE BLOG POST OF THE WEEK:
Sandra's last post, her vigilance in encouraging us all to be praying women, to be good wives, supporters of our husbands at THE MERCY SEAT. Thanks Sandra for the 31 days of prayer for our husbands!
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM LAST WEEK:
My Mama takes some really good pictures & she has a good sense of humor to add along with it. I liked this post she did last week. It made me laugh.
LESSON LEARNED THE PAST FEW DAYS:
There is no correct "Stimulus Package"! When money gets tight in this house, we don't go spend more & we sure as heck don't go and charge more. We buckle down! It is amazing to see how much "LESS" you can live with.
ON MY PRAYER LIST:
My Family.
A request from a friend at work.
Our Country.
DEVOTIONALS, SCRIPTURE READING, KEY VERSES:
"Dont run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other. When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. The law code--dont sleep with another person's spouse, dont take someone's life, dont take what isn't yours, dont always be wanting what you dont have, and any other "dont" you can think of---finally adds up to this:Love other people as well as you do yourself. You cant go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code, the sum total is LOVE." Romans 13:8-10 The Message

IT'S A FINE DAY HERE!
Thought I would first share with you a new author and one of her books I just read.
Denise Hildreth. A good Southern book with humor and good morals. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It has some very profound statements in it. I cant wait to read some more of her books!
There is a bluebird sky here today! Not too cold and no wind yet. I think I'm going to venture out and paint a few tree trunks. Gotta protect those young trees from the bugs you know!
Oh my friend Jen has a really nice post today....it's worth reading.

CAYLEE ANTHONY'S GRANDPARENTS
I know you all are familiar with the Caylee Anthony missing/murder story.
Last night on Nancy Grace, she aired the recorded visit of George & Cindy Anthony with their daughter Casey, a visit at the jail. This story hits a nerve with me. I think it is because of us having Little Package in our lives.
Danny & I have watched this story together & we both get very emotional about it. Folks, you never know what is gonna happen in your life! This could be one of us going through this.
These grandparents are mourning the loss of their granddaughter & dealing with the fact that their own child may have murdered their grand baby! Things like this happens all the time. Your kids screw up...even murder!
What I am trying to say is......my heart is broken for the Anthony's. You can see they are descent folks and are completely broken! I am broken for them.
I woke up this morning with them on my mind. Every time I hear anything about this story I find myself praying for them but since last night...after watching them visit their daughter....I just feel more of a burden to pray for them.
Will yall do the same, when ever you think of it, if you see something on TV about them, will you pray for those folks. I feel there is nothing more anyone else could do that would help them more than to lift them up to God.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but THE SPIRIT HIMSELF MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US WITH GROANINGS WHICH CAN NOT BE UTTERED. Romans 8:26

SIGNS OF LOVE............
I've had a good week! Little Package has been here & we have had a great time! The weather(which is sooo crazy here) has been nice enough to go outside & enjoy. Package & I went to the park & had a picnic. I think Spring Fever has attacked because there were piles of women & children at the park!
Valentine's Day is this weekend and my oldest son's birthday. I am making him some cookies. I am making Danny & I a strawberry cake. Nothing fancy...just a box recipe (but we love it!). Package gets a little box of candy & a small Teddy Bear.
Have any of you looked at the Victoria Magazine? I really like it and have decided to subscribe to it.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

WEIRD WEATHER!!
It has already rained this morning. The sun is out now & the temperature is suppose to get in the 70's today....and then more rain.
The wind is blowing like crazy! I am thankful for any rain or sunshine. Tomorrow it is suppose to be cold again. Hummmm.....if Mother Nature was a real woman...I would say she is having hot flashes....no, no,....I would say she was Bi-polar! Can you see how hard it is for the ducks to swim against the wind this morning.
Here are the beginning shoots of my Daffodils! I cant wait...I love them!
I had to share this picture of Package with you....you think she likes a Little Debbie cake? I wonder who bought those for her?!!
So what's going on with your weather right now?

THE STOMACH FLU!!
With no warning I awoke at 12:45 Friday night (Saturday morning) with some type of stomach bug. No nausea & vomiting just the...well you know...don't even want to write the word! Saturday afternoon the fever & body-aches-like-you-wouldn't-believe came on. This is some bad stuff....I haven't been this sick since July 4th, 2004! Yes I remember the date...I still have my prescriptions for Phenergan & Imodium from then! Hello!
But I am much better...I am hoping to have a really good day so that I can go back to work tomorrow. We will see.
Say a prayer for Danny & Little Package that this mess will skip them. Danny's immune system is very weak & Package IS JUST A BABY!
I leave you with a picture of Little Package fast asleep on the Rhino. Pop-pa & her were out pruning trees Saturday. I guess she was all tuckered out. Danny drove her back to the house & told me I needed to see the poor little thing. That is a hard working-future pecan farming-Pop-pa-loving little girl!

I leave you with a picture of Little Package fast asleep on the Rhino. Pop-pa & her were out pruning trees Saturday. I guess she was all tuckered out. Danny drove her back to the house & told me I needed to see the poor little thing. That is a hard working-future pecan farming-Pop-pa-loving little girl!
