stuff I did today...

I made a batch of muffins for tomorrow's breakfast

made soup for dinner

Baked bread

Here is how the kitchen looks after a week of working in it.

Compare with the pictures I posted HERE

I put a hubbard squash and some ribs in the clay oven to slow cook over night. So... that takes care of tomorrow's meal. I did do dishes today even though it looks like I did not. There are just somedays when I can do them up really fast and other days when the pile just never seems to go away! I am really getting a longing to have a time when I can make a meal for just two people. I am content where I am right now. But sometimes the longing is really there. I don't think it is at all bad to have thoughts like this. Some might say that you should have your heart set on what is right now and not to wish for what is to come. But I think it is alright to dream. And give these desires to the Lord. And delight our selves in Him. And if we delight our selves in the Lord He will give us the desires of our hearts. God is bringing me to this place of resting in Him. He will give me the desires of my heart.

...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

1 Corinthians 2: 9-12

I want to be fill with His Spirit. Daily alive and growing in the strength of the Lord! Don't you?

Let's press on toward the Goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

I hope you all have a good night

I am tired, so I am off to bed.

Pictures

On friday I did a big cleaning of the kitchen. Here are some pictures of it all clean. Next friday I am going to take pictures of the same. No matter how messy or clean the kitchen is and post them on my blog. So we'll see how clean I can keep the kitchen in one week.

This is our sweet little doe Autumn. She is going to have her first freshening in the first or second week of april. I think she is going to have one kid. We did not want her to get bred but she jumped in the bucks pen!

Here is Shwanli. She is due in May I think she will have alot of kids.

~just put in the oven~

I am having so much fun making this bread. I finally got it down pat. All the credits go to my teacher, my dear mother. She is the top baker around here and it is because of her that I have been able to learn how to make and manage this art.

~now out of the oven to cool~

baked squash & potatoes,

Knitting that I started yesterday

My older brother has been working on butchering a hog for our sister and brother-in-law.

Well that is all the pictures that I took today to share with you,

I also did a little tidying of my room, I hardly ever get it totally tidy!

I worked on a really hard puzzle that my friend had on her blog if you would like to do it click HERE it is really fun!

I made a mattress this week for my self out of straw and a big sheet of strong muslin. So I guess. you could call it a straw-tick like They had in the days of Auld Lang Syne

It feels really comfy! I had been sleeping on a sleeping bag for four years. I liked it alot but I just wanted a change for a while. I like to have things as simple as possible. So don't feel bad for me at all for not having an American style bed.

Well good night

I am off to hit the hay, well in my case It would be straw!

good night my friends!
