Flip flap dance and more!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!! I'm looking over a four leaf clover........ Today I was out and about on the farm, and took these pictures, We have so many animals that grace us with their presence, and we enjoy them so much. Believe you me there is something going on all the time. I hope you enjoy them. I must comment on the first five, I was in my bathroom getting dressed for my regular Tuesday night date with Mr P., when I saw the hens and the rooster in the flower garden, doing what they do best, and that is agitate Mr. P. by messing with his straw beds. LOL I thought I would take a picture of Mr. P running them away, instead I watched as Fred, tried to entertain his chicks, but they didn't pay him any attention. I hope you enjoy them!( Click on pics. to enlarge.) 'Hey girls watch this' 'Are you watching me yet?' 'This is the flip flap dance.' 'Whatcha think girls?' 'And now for the finality.' 'OH! well maybe another day.'.... He looked so rejected. 'Hey Chuck, strut your stuff, that chick with the camera is at it again.' 'I am the fairest of them all! Don't you think?'.......My take......Only a Mother could love this face. 'Hey Ma! is that a new cologne that you are wearing?' 'Hurry up please, It is past my supper time!' ' Dude, I've got a secret. Do you want to know what it is?' 'Listen kid, I can bust us out of here if you want me to!' 'Hey Ma, that cat over there wants me to bust out of here, ......Uhh, Ma what does bust out of here mean? ' Son, never mind him, he thinks he is a sheep anyway!' A man and his dog! 'Howdy Mam!, what can I do for you today?' 'Mr P. doing what he loves to do.!.....dig in the dirt. 'My farm work is hard work, I think I need a break.' Maggie is our newest addition, and she has won our hearts. 'Farm man doing what he loves best, planting seed.' 'Smile you are on Candid Camera.' These are my pride and joy, I have waited for years to gather blue eggs. Ever since Martha introduced me to them. My Aracuanas are really laying me some blue eggs. Fresh eggs right out of the hen house are the Best! Now if I can find some hens to lay yellow, and purple eggs eggs, I will have it made LOL Thank you for taking this walk with me. Love, Sue Psalms 24:1-2~ The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness. The world and those who dwell there in. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters.

Spring! Spring! Spring!

I think Spring is beginning to come to the farmhouse. Last week I got this call from Mother wanting to know the measurement of my dining table in my breakfast room. 'Why I ask?' She says for me to not ask any questions, that I will soon know . LOL Well, Saturday she comes out for a visit and what does she bring with her, this tablecloth, matching napkins, and napkin rings. What a pleasant surprise! This is one of the napkin rings, isn't it pretty, look at the details. She also places this beautiful flower arrangement that she has made on the table. These roses are made out of crepe paper, some were dipped in wax, others sprayed with starch. She told me of learning how to make these roses when she was a little girl watching her Mother make them and then selling them for 3 cents each. I always enjoy it when Mother tells me of memories of her childhood. I am so blessed to have my Mother, her hands are always busy, and most of the time she is doing and giving to others. Thank you Mother for bringing some spring to the farmhouse. I treasure my gifts, because I know that loving hands made them, and they are so beautiful. I decided to use my fiesta ware for spring,. Oh! I almost forgot, Lucy Goosey wanted to be a part of spring time photos, and asked me to dress her in her Easter outfit. I think she looks divine, don't you? She knows she isn't suppose to be sitting on the table but flew up here for the photo shoot. Just this once, my dear. Hope your day is filled with many wonderful memories. Hugs, Sue Proverbs 31:25-26~Strength and honor are her clothing;She shall rejoice in time to come.~ She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness. Most of you know how important memories are to me, (thus the title of this blog. )So here is a little memory of mine..... Waking up at Grandma's house! When I was a child there was a time when we lived with my grandmother on her farm,to wake up to the aroma of coffee, country ham and eggs, waffeling through the house from our grandmothers kitchen , was one of the most wonderful memories for us girls. (photo courtesy of John Slobodnik) There was no heat in the bedrooms, and we slept under so many quilts, that we could not turn over. When morning came we would jump out of bed and run to the kitchen in our bare feet where a pot bellied stove was singing a happy tune. We then backed up to it and warmed our hind side, and when it was so hot that we couldn't take it, we would turn and warm the front. All the while Grandma was busy preparing this most delicious breakfast, everyday she made homemade biscuits, and our most special treat was to soak one of her biscuits in coffee sprinkled on top with sugar. Oh so delicious! The coffee they used back then was not decaf., it was boiled on the stove, and children just weren't given coffee,we were told it would stunt our growth, but Grandma didn't see it that way, and thought it was okay. Even now I will have this treat(today being one of them) and when I do I think of all those wonderful days spent on her farm, in her kitchen. Now, if you haven't tried soakie biscuit you must. lol (House of White Birches) Why share memories of what we call the 'good old days'? I personally think I was blessed to have grown up in the best of times, (don't we all?) lol, and our heritage is something that will go on from generation to generation. I have family members that read this blog, our children, my sister Mary and her husband, Steve, and many more. Mary shared this particular memory , and I know she is going to enjoy going back a few years. I also hope you enjoy reading of the 'good old days.' Love, Sue

It's that time of year

I have been so busy spring cleaning, and trying to get everything back in order, as time is really clicking on the calendar. Before we know it Spring will have come and gone, and once again we will be basking in those long hot days of summer. And like me you are probably longing for those days. But for now I am so looking forward to those first blooms that will be poking their little heads out of the ground. I usually start my spring cleaning in late March , but decided this year to go ahead and do it now, since I was sick for a few months and could not do anything, I kinda got behind, and was so anxious to get started. Everyone has their on system of cleaning, and I want to share a few of my thoughts. I always start in my kitchen, as it is the hub of our home. Before I go into a room to clean , I write everything that I want to get accomplished in that room on a 3x5 card, I check these things off as I do them,(so much fun) and also make notes of things I want to change whether it is to paint or things I might need to buy. This card then goes in a file box. I also have a notebook that I transfer this information too. I like the notebook because I can add pictures that I might see in a magazine,plus I can carry it with me. One important thing is putting the date that everything was done. This is a place where I get to create and try new things. If my kitchen gets a good cleaning I feel as though the rest will fall easily into place. I then like to go to the laundry room, I have a sink that has been such a blessing for me as I bring fresh produce in and wash it here. The pantry is also located in my laundry room, it is not a large one but it holds the majority of bought goods as well as the fruits and vegetables I preserve from our gardens. And as I always do I put up more than what I use in a given season, this works out well most times as some years we may have a crop failure on certain fruits and veggies. A good example was last year when we did not harvest one apple in our orchard. I was fortunate to have some left from the previous year. There is something so special about opening up a cabinet, picking up a jar of a vegetable or fruit, that you have grown, gathered and preserved. It is so much more healthy for you. You have control of what went on and in that product to bring it to your table. I so often open up this cabinet, and thank God for the ability to be able to do this. If you have ever thought about this, I encourage you to try it, and if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me. The next room I clean is my foyer, it is however the first room people will see when they enter our home. I always enjoy the smell of a freshly clean home, especially after it has been cleaned with one of my favorite products. I love the smell of Murphy's Soap Oil, it is very inexpensive and goes a long way. Since I have been spring cleaning my home, and have not been on my computer hardly at all. I have been asking the Lord to do some spring cleaning in my spiritual home. Psalm 51:10~Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew a stedfast spirit within me. And just like it is with our own homes there are some things that take a little longer to clean than others. And reguires some hard scrubbing and it is some times painful. But once it has been done it looks so much better and works more efficient. I want to be clean and more efficient for the Lord! How about you? I am still working to get my home organized and cleaned, and so the Lord is still working on me...... Just like cleaning my home one step at a time and one day at a time so it is with my health.III John:2~ Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in Health, just as your soul prospers. I have been busy working faithfully on this too. I started by walking, but after watching Olivia Walton riding her bicycle one evening. I looked over at Mr P. and asked him if he knew where mine was? He smiled and nodded affirmatively. The next morning I looked outside and what did I see........... Now who would throw a perfectly good Schwinn bike away? Yes, Mr P. found this one at the dump, and brought it home for me a couple of years ago. Do you think he was trying to tell me something? LOL. I now ride my bike 3 1/2 miles, plus walk 2 miles five days a week, and I so enjoy it. The first day I rode it I could hardly get off , and when I did I could hardly walk. I looked like a cowboy who had been riding all day on a horse, what a sight for Mr P. to see , and he was a perfect gentleman. Uhh!! I think so , however he went behind the barn, and for some reason I heard this fuss like someone had their head in a barrel laughing !!! Na!! This is the seat Mr P. bought and put on my bike, and it does exactly what it says it does! LOL There have also been some goings on outside on the farm, our ewes are beginning to lamb, and one new baby calve has been born with more due any day now. I hope to share real soon. 'May your days be filled with love, joy, and peace.' Hugs, Sue Ruth Bell Graham said'Make home a happy place they look forward to coming back to', I believe she did exactly that, and this is my desire also.
