Garden Ponderings...

      I was out choring tonight and was headed for the garden to pick beans....I noticed a patch of weeds and thought of the fact that they needed pulling but I just don't have time...I stopped thinking ,you know if I get them while they are small it wont take as long...and just because I ignore them it will not make go away....so I stopped and pulled them...it didn't take long, not because there wasn't many...there was a lot...but they were small....my mind started wondering...and I began pondering on this....weeds like sins if not taken care of immediately while they are small...can take tremendous hold in my life....yes...My hands went back to the task of weeding but I kept pondering the thought.....If I mulch them heavy I wont have to weed this area for rest of summer....then my mind again went to the weeds of our lives....mulching with Gods Word would do the same in my spiritual life....the more of Gods Word I dig in and apply the less weeds will come up...and when they do they will be immediately noticeable......"Thank you Lord for these quiet times when you speak to my heart in a way that I can understand..."...Another Blessed day here on PatchWork Acres

Why Can't I be like a Goose

                                        We had a big storm move in this morning...extremely heavy rain,wind and lighting. I don't like storms...well I should say I have a love hate relationship ....I love to hear  the rumble of thunder but hate the sharp lighting,,love the rain but hate the high winds....you see I have been in some really bad storms...to the point of having to get under a table or in a closet....and the worse part is being alone at home at the time....  So as this storm was blowing and rain pounding....I looked out my kitchen window,There in my back yard were my 3 big geese....yes just strolling along...enjoying the rain and wind...no fear ,no worries,actually lifting their heads skyward in a way that could have been considered thankfulness or praise ...flapping their wings in dance and playing...over all having a good time....IN THE ...

Duct Tape...No more!!!

Hi all !! its been a while since I have been on here.I hope to catch it up over the next several weeks.I have been really busy with kidding time on PatchWork Acres. Garden planting and revamping my shop.I have quite a few projects going.God is good.     Sometimes in my quite time mornings I reflect over things and meditate on Gods Word.At times I journal my thoughts and write what I call .."Home Grown Devotionals" So I thought I would just share one today...                                                     "   Duct Taping our lives together"                                      (Giving others permission to see underneath who we really are)                           ...

It's a grandpa thing....

  We knew for 9 months that this time would come. I had been sleeping with my phone at night for a week  or so , just in case a call came thru the night.  At 4 that morning it's ring jarred me from my sleep.....yes our grandson was on the way....living 6 hours from my daughter and son-n-law wasn't helping things.....we hurriedly packed and decided to go ahead and do chores......My poor chickens and goats thought I had lost my mind as I rushed around and chored by lantern light. After packing everything in our vehicle,  we headed out.       Talking and laughing as we traveled along.....we were about an hour from our destination....we were going to stay with our other grandson while his brother was being born....we got a call that things may not be all well with the delivery. .An emergency C-section was called for....as I looked at my dear hubby and saw the concern on his face and the tear in his eyes....he reached quietly for my hand and began to pra...
