Outdoor Wednesday


join us here

Imagine...

Waking at 6 a.m. to finish up your husbands lunch turning to the sink to wash up...
Steve comes from behind me to embrace me ...
"what the HECK???????????!!!!!!!!!!!"
He said...

I looked up to see a police officer crouching on the garden wall.
YEP!

Two more of them at the gate ahead of me looking into the neighbors yard.
I quickly call the dogs in.
The police are in large numbers out front...Steve meets me at the door and tells me good bye and the police come into the yard. I told them that the houdse behind is vacant.

Steve leaves all quiets down and I go to the garden...
Dash is awake from the dogs being in (arg!)
so we garden and then the dog a few yards down begins to bark and a helicopter is overhead.
Dash got into the house and I stood out with the dogs as this helicopter is just above the house circling. Dogs at the ready...I got several shots of the chopper. It was beautiful!

Then It left and the noise grew out in front and I peeked out the door to see that a police officer giving me the all clear.
In the driveway next door sits a handcuffed man who was just on the other side of the garden wall when they got him.

STEVE AND I PRAY
"Lord cover our home and our neighborhood"
HE did.
Although the man broke into several cars doing much damage the duffel bag with all the stuff was found in another neighbors yard.

The robber and the officer both went through the garden and no damage was done to either the garden or either man...think spikes in the garden...


I called the kids out to see the chopper.



The man was NOT in my yard.
MY DOGS would of had a big breakfast :)

This is next door!

The light pole is in my yard...
GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!




Look at Dash with the bat
I tried not to laugh at his moxie.

All of these cars are police marked and unmarked and GOD made them able to get him !!!!!!!

He was hiding just on the other side of my garden wall.

I praised the officers.



Now think of an officer crouching on the wall if he would of jumped in
He could of hurt himself bad with all my stakes.
He was kept safe as was the garden.

We often ask for a hedge around our property and neighborhood.

The neighbor at the school bus stop stood with baby in hand as her car was one of the ones that were broken into and the window smashed.
It is her birthday today....
The police found her wallet!!!!!!!!



He was just on the other side of the wall.
My neighbors dogs were inside just going nuts!
The man was hopping the walls traveling down the yards.

Kids I was right there. In the garden. With Dash planting seeds.
Feeding the chickens...and the dogs.
The police had cleared the yard and we thought it was all over.
The guy was on the other side of the wall and the chopper flushed him out!
The dogs and I were on the yard side of the garden.



They were on the guard.

In the garden after the man was cuffed and the kids on the bus...
Bok choy, cauliflower, onion, brocolli, kale, zinnia, Swiss Chard, broccoli raab



Carrots smiled at me through the blanket of compost and peat moss as they joined the radish

A bean smiled back at me as well

Then I noticed this snap pea saying hello!

Good Dogs...The space behind then I hope to make a raised narrow bed to set my lettuce for ease of access the fence can be opened at the pole and swung wide.

I am not sure if you can see the bean it is a scarlet runner to climb on the gazebo give beans and pretty red flowers in time.


Morning gave time today to work a good 4 hours
At noon it was 91* and time to stop for the day

Goal met! Garden extention earth made, seed planted and some have even sprouted.
I am made able to do what my heart desired.
It was a lot of hard work all summer long, I DID IT!!!!!!!!!

Check out this little fellow.
They fill the gazebo canopy while I sit and study and tend the chickens .
They are like a dance in the sky.


Philippians 3:20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
