Morning Sunrise

Cause me to hear your loving

 kindness in the morning,

 for on you do I lean

 and in you do I trust.

Cause me to know the way wherein

I should walk,

for I lift up my inner self to you.

Psalm 143: 8

 This was the view from my front porch yesterday morning!

Beautiful sunrise!

We are enjoying being able to see God's handiwork each morning. At our previous home we had tall trees that blocked the sunrise.

As the sun came up, in all it's glory, it made us want to get out and enjoy the day, even with the forecast of rain.

Up the road, as we neared the park, where we go to walk, the geese were enjoying the day already.

 

I love the sound of the geese when they fly over on their way to the pond, in the middle of the park. They are here year round, and sometimes we have to stop for them to cross the road. After all it is their  home.

After driving about 40 minutes we stopped for lunch, then headed back home, for the rain was beginning to fall.

 Oh Lord, as we start this day,
 may you lead us with your Spirit, along life's highway. 
Give us discernment for our priorities,
 a sensitive heart filled with your love and power, to live it for you!

Amen

Have a Blessed Day!

Monday TeaTime

Awe, another Monday!

This month is going by fast. I am usually up early every morning, no matter what day it is!

Got my laundry going early so I could enjoy the day.  Stopped to have a break with a cup of tea and an orange roll.

I have come to love the taste of orange lately.

I take honey in my tea. This morning I am enjoying Twinings English Breakfast tea.

Using my Moss Rose serving tray and cup, makes it a little more inviting. I hope to plant more of this pretty rose here at my new home.

I had company over the weekend, family and friends coming to see where I've moved and see the new place.

Two of my son-in-laws and two of my grandsons came and built hand rails for the front porch and down the slope at the back door. They don't want us falling, so they said. It is a great help and they did a great job, even put solar lights on this one.

The slope is slight in the back, but in our 'olden age' we aren't as stable as we use to be.

I am excited about working in this area this Spring, bringing it alive with pretty flowers. I want to rework the pavers also. Can you see the little white daffodil blooming?

Hopefully I can paint the porch too! Sure needs it.

Have a Blessed Day!

Hot and Easy Supper Recipe!

Awe..the weather outside has gotten Chilly!

One thing I like about cold weather is...

Comfort food!

With the temperatures in the 20's in the mornings, it gets me to wanting to make something hot to eat.

I found this recipe on Facebook the other day that was posted by a friend. It didn't sound like anything I would think of eating, but it looked good, so off to the store we went to buy the ingredients. 

It's called "Crock-pot Slop"

The name alone would make you make a sour face!

Here is the recipe:

Crock-pot Slop

Put in crock-pot in order:

Do not stir!

1 large can of Green Beans (do not drain)

8 Cut up Russet Potatoes

2 sliced Kielbasa Sausage

1 diced onion

Put enough water to cover potatoes

Drop in 4 Chicken Bouillon cubes

Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook 4 to 6 hours on high

Stir and serve!!

It was very good and hubby loved it!

I always have to tweak a recipe to my liking, I used 4 large red potatoes instead of Russet ones. I only cooked mine for 4 and 1 half hours.

I will be making this again, so easy and good!

There is enough juice with it, if you like it, but I prefer mine without.

Enjoy the day, while supper is cooking!

No Place Like Home

Be it ever so humble,

There's no place like Home!

 internet poem

As you may know we have a new place that we call

"Home".

Christmas week is not a good time to move!

Enough said!

  

Milo doesn't care, he calls Home anywhere there's a chair where he can sleep!

  

Our new home was built in 1929, but has been updated, leaving all the character.  I love all the wide molding.

 Although the fireplace no longer works, it is still special with the mantel and large molding.

 I still have a lot of tweaking to do, but if you have ever moved you'll understand.

  

I've always loved the saying

 "Home is where the Heart is" 

no matter where that may be.

Until next we meet,

Have a Blessed Home!

MONDAY, FIRST WEEK OF 2016

Good Monday Morning!

 Even though the sun is shinning through the window, it is in the low 40's this morning.

You can feel the cold weather coming, or

is it just my arthritis!

I am still unpacking, guess I'll be doing this for awhile. I sat as many of my teacups and

teapots on the table as I could get until I can decide which I want to keep out and which to pack back up.With so little room to put them all out, they'll have to stay boxed up and taken out 

when I want to use another one.

This is my new verse I repeat over and over.

God is so good to me and I am finding it easier

to 'be still' and do what I can when I can, instead 

of forging ahead like I normally do. 

May I never need to move again!

Thank you Lord for this Blessed Day!
