Moon over San Juan mountains


Here it is about 6:30  in the morning and the moon is just going down behind my house.  I love to take pictures of the sky here because it is so beautiful....that I love to catch the difference from one mountain peak to the next.  The moon comes up over the San de Cristo mountains from my front porch and goes down behind the San Juan mountains..on my back porch.. Well it is interesting to me.  I love the changes of colors .....God has a wonderful paint brush.
                                             

The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another, and star differ from star in splendor.

Buy American?

It has been a long winter and it hasn't let up.  It started before Thanksgiving and here we are approaching St. Patrick's Day.  Then Easter, the last day of March.  Can you believe (of course you can) Walmart took down the Valentine sale items and started putting up Easter Baskets, Easter bunnies, Easter eggs.  Please, Walmart, let us enjoy our lives.  They go by fast enough.  And all these holidays mean to you is money, money.

When I was a child, we made our Easter Baskets out of Quaker Oatmeal boxes, for the colored eggs and maybe a chocolate egg with our name on it...or maybe not.  We had a great family day..hiding colored eggs, it was a family day.  All right, you say boring.

There's nothing boring about waking up and finding this big Easter basket wrapped in cellophane, that you saw yesterday at Walmart's?   Do you realize Walmart has become our Easter Bunny, our Santa Claus. Our country shows it patriotism by flying American flags, made in China...Eat on red, white and blue paper plates...I'm sure most of our fireworks are Chinese made.  At Thanksgiving it's napkins with turkeys, pumpkins, etc. that decorate our table. Made in China   You think about it.  China has stolen our holidays with the help of Walmart and the American public..(you and me)

Walmart and China has stolen our American way of life...or did we give it to them and paid them them take it?

Early Winter Morning...

As I slipped out the door this morning to feed the bunnies...the sky looked so beautiful.  I slipped back in the house and got my camera ....So here is what I think are some fantastic pictures of the mountains, the early morning sky and maybe a picture of Emily and Sara...






This is just to give you an idea of the beauty of the morning sky.  And the mountains.  Oh, yes.
I go back in side and my girls are still in bed....Are you crazy, taking pictures at this hour.


The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
                   Psalm 19:1

Sabbath's Day's Blessing

We had a light snow last night.  But the sun came up early, bright and warm.  It going to be a very nice Sabbath Day.

I have never made a point in my writing to say that I am a Sabbath keeper.  A Seventh Day Adventist Sabbath keeper.  Actually just like every other Christian, I believe that we should "Do unto others as we would have others treat us.

I believe we are all sinners, saved by the blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
I believe in the Ten Commandments...Yes ...all of them.  Including #4

         Remember, the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.

Most importantly....I believe in our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ who gave his life for a sinner like me.    


For great is your love, higher than the heavens...Psalm 4:108

The Caretakers

Sara and I have had a very busy winter.  We have to sit by the window and keep track of all the little birds that failed to go south for the winter.  Wonder where they stay?  Then we have all the little bunnies, I think some of them  live under our porch.  And the neighbor dogs...don't they have a home?

The lady that lives here with us, keeps feeding those bunnies.  Every morning before we are up we hear her going out the door to throw carrots to the little bunnies.  And they come hopping.  Sara and I sit at the window and bark.  Evidently, they have a hearing problem, because they

 completely ignore us.  "We're up here!  ( and if we ever get out, you had better run.)  The lady thinks we don't notice, but she puts carrots out at night.  Does she think they need a midnight snack..?

There is someone always coming and going here.  Some say, "Oh, what cute puppies.  Come here.  I want to hold you."
      "No!'  We run to the bedroom and hide under the bed."
      There's this one lady, she brings her big, furry slobbering dog...and ....he eats all of our food, drinks our water.  And he chews up our toys.  I'm glad it was Sara's clown, I don't want now big dog germs....
     Since it's such a nice day, we'll probably spend the day outdoors.  We have a lot of fun.  The neighbors dogs , there's two.  One is a big, tall, skinny dog and one's really nice, he's a Beagle.     We look through porch railing and bark at them.  We shake our little tails.  I heard her say, " I hope they don't shake them off".    Is that possible?

We have it pretty nice.  We have the run of the house.  We are free to go in and outdoors.  And we have this lady that lives with us trained pretty well.  So, all in all  it's a good life.
