A Peek into My Day

Here is a peek into what I did on Wednesday.  The photos are a bit out of order but that matches how I think, so all is well!

I had to pass the Big Giant Onion on my travels.  Yep...that is what I call

it, although~it is upside down. 

(oh and perhaps all the years of eating onions has left onions on my brain!)

After taking care of my errands, I went to my favorite store in town.

It is an antique shop.  I found several things that will be perfect here

on the farm.  I found this cute chicken cookie cutter.  I think I will be

making sugar cookies this weekend.

I also found some unfinished quilts.  This top was $8.00.

It is the size of a full size bed. 

 

This one was $5.00.  It is also the size of a full size bed.

 

Cute kitchen towel, only to be used on Thursday!

Oh and when I came home, I fed the critters.  The blur of 

birds racing alongside me...rushing for feed or because

I am something of a barnyard famous person~you decide!

Yes, Athena is helping.  Actually she eats the hay.  I know

how crazy is that?

While with the animals I decided to pick up some eggs.
 The Double Nickel store continues to provide. 
Millie is hovering below as she LOVES eggs!

I saw the tanks today in my travels.  I am not sure what they are really 

called, but that is what I call them.  Sometimes when I pass them

I think I would like to climb the ladder on the sides and see the views

from on top.

Sierra Blanca is snow covered.  I can see Sierra Blanca

pretty much every day from anywhere I travel.  I do love

the views in New Mexico.

I found some old New Mexico magazines.  I have been

working on a project here on the farm that I need NM

magazines for.  I hope to have a reveal someday.

I love using different centerpieces for the table.  Here is another

one I found today.

But my favorite find of the day was:

 

The Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale.  

I will share more about this book in a future post.  This book 

was used by the local high school and the introduction as well as the 

book is so different than what we teach our children today.

Let me say this~ long ago we left God on the curb in America.

We weren't a perfect nation but we had men and women

that believed that there was more and that we had a Creator

that we were accountable to.  Now...we have Choice.  Now we 

have government instead of God.  As a result, the slope we are on

is slippery and to recover seems almost improbable for even me

an eternal optimist.  

My day closes with this thought:  I do have Hope, it is in Jesus Christ

the Messiah.  I do have optimism-in an eternal home.  I do have peace~

knowing my birth, my life, my role was defined and designed by God in 

His image and it is precious, as is EVERY person that begins in the womb.

I have love and I cleave to my spouse as God shares that

I should.  

I pray that America is not beyond recovery.
