That's The Thanks I Get

We've had such a deep snow.  I have been worried about the bunnies that are under my porch.  I try to throw some carrots out for them everyday...But the snow has been so deep and it is so cold.  I was worried about the little rabbits.  Then I had this great idea..(I thought).  I got a big round tray...found some light weight rope..or maybe it was very heavy twine.  Then I took four strands and tied them at the bottom...slipped the tray on  them.  Brought the ropes together and tied them...made a rope to lift it by...Then I filled it with rabbit pellets...and carrots..    I was so proud of myself.  Now I had a dumb waiter to let down from my porch to a sheltered spot to feed the bunnies.  I waited and watched as did Emily and Sarah for them to come to my lunch table.

Finally, I looked out ...in the snow there was three bunnies...laughing their heads off.  "Will you look what that "old lady has come up with now?....No way am I going to get on that thing...she wants to trick us. Probably thinking "rabbit stew".        They called all the neighbor hood bunnies to come see the "funny woman's" new gaget.  Then they all laughted...   I was glad to see them having fun and enjoying the day, even at my expense.  But now they'll just have to eat frozen carrots and good luck bunnies...hope you can find the rabbit pellets under the snow.                                                                                            

 

 

Cold, snowy morning

Here it is December 11.   It was -21 below night.  This morning the little rabbit tracks were all over. I wanted to throw out some carrots, but they would freeze as soon as I put them out.  So, I'll wait and see if it warms up a bit.  There were some little birds flying around....I so wanted to feed them ..but too much snow...I guess they'll go down to Linda's and eat with her ducks and goose.  I worry about the animals in the winter and the birds.  But the Father says, " He feeds the birds of the air."  So, I believe he will take care of his little animals.  Even in a snow storm.

This is the sun coming up about 6:30 this morning...as  I slipped out the front door.  Then around to the back...these are pictures of the little or big rabbit prints....I didn't focus very good...it was cold outside as I said...21 below. 
Winter days can be very pleasant.   I shall put on a pot of bean soup.  Put the dishes in the dishwasher, make the beds....now I can do what I want.
I want to get busy on my headwraps.  That's what they call them.  I wanted to crochet and knit some  caps for our homeless shelter.  I bought a lot of yarn.  I need to get some shorter knitting needles...the ones I have work...but kinda' clumsy, they are so long.  Need a new crochet hook...Maybe a size 7. 
I'll put some pictures on when I get a few made. 

Here's how my girls are enjoying the day....They rejected their bed this morning for a chair.  I'm so glad they are not spoiled.
Better get busy.....Have a nice snowy day,  I plan on it.

This is the day the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it.  Thank you, Lord.

Spare time projects.

I have run out of projects.  Decided to try my hand at crocheting.  A cap seemed easy...so this is my own design.  Just fooling around..here's some of my projects...

Sabbath Day's Blessing

The air is so clear,the sun is so bright
The girls and I are enjoying a quiet Sabbath morning, soaking up the sunshine.

It has been a quiet week.  I am recuperating from a cold.  My niece, Vickie, in Omaha, said if she were here she'd make me some chicken noodle soup. (If it's like her mother's...so good.)  I wish she was, I wish she would, I'd gladly eat it.  Linda, my daughter has brought me juice, teas, cough drops. I think she emptied out the drug store.

I have a confession, I haven't really been sick.  Just a cold.  But it took all my energy.  I can sit and do nothing for hours at a time. So, the sunshine is truly a blessing.  So warm and comforting.

As I sit here and say my prayers, thank our good Lord.  I look up and see this cross in the sky. Well, of course, it's the exhaust of two airplanes.  But I can see what I like.

         Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy .   Exodus 20:8
