Blackwater River Ranch

• Friday, June 12, 2009 - Morning Blessings!

A mist on the hay-meadow. Sandhill Cranes grazing quietly there. The sound of the river rapidly flowing down its watery path. The little grey kitty purring sweetly on my lap. My cup of steaming tea. These are sweet quiet morning blessings to me. My husband still asleep which is good as he has worked way too hard the last couple of days. His one knee was causing him quite a bit of pain. I know cause he told me and he does not complain of pain very often. So I let him sleep. Today he does not have trees to fall or limb and buck. We have the hopes of spending a lot of time in our 60 some foot  x 90 some foot  garden. And getting it planted. It felt overwhelming at one point but now it is a job to be done and bugs beware BECAUSE we will be there armed and dangerous! LOL We have been wondering what our dogs have been barking at like "idiots" for the last few days driving us crazy as they act like they see something but we can not see a thing. On Tuesday night we came home from a home church fellowship. And there at the end of our driveway on the other side of the road are three of our dogs and a CAT!! They were intent on something.  Last night we came home and I thought I saw something but it was almost midnight and so tired that I thought maybe it was just the way I moved my head but as we pulled off of the bridge into the driveway out bounds a deer. Great! We have not seen any deer here since September and now that we are planting a huge garden here come the deer. I told my "dear" we will put barb wire up high around the top rails of this garden fence and make sure they cannot crawl under it either. I am NOT sharing my garden with them. HOPE THEY HEAR THAT!  The mosquitoes are in my eyes and ears and hair this morning as I sit here trying to type so think I will have to light some mosquito coils. Yesterday we were invited to go to the school (elementary grades) and see their play production. We had to go down that way to make firewood for our pastor and family so we went. What a fun play those kids put on and unbeknownst to us a school bus pulled up from the Bouchie Lake school where a couple of our grandsons go to school. In comes our grandson so he sat on grandpas lap to watch the play. That was fun. Both schools are small although the one out here is the smallest. The two communities although some distance apart are very closely tied together since pioneer days. We have been making firewood and I have been scraping logs for our pastor and his wife (who is also a pastor) We will be repainting their log house or putting the oil stain on it. I call it painting and they do too. In a hurry and a flurry I need to get some housework done so I will be ready to go to the garden and spend most of the day there. The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. Psalm 24:1 God Bless your Friday Roxanne
