EGGS!!!

Do you remember the baby chics I got back in April? They are now starting to lay eggs, last night I got 1 pullet egg and tonight I got 2 pullet eggs.The egg in the middle is from my old sexlink hen she is a faithful layer giving an egg most every day. The other 2 eggs are from my pullets. Notice how much smaller the egg on the right is compared to the one on the left? That's because it's a pullet egg, she just now starting to lay unlike the old pro, so her eggs will be smaller. OK I am more than likely the only dork that gets excited over eggs! LOL Hopefully next year I will incubating my own eggs. I did not have much luck this year, my duck eggs never hatched, then I got some eggs on eBay and only one of them hatched and its a rooster. A very expensive rooster! God Bless all of you and have a good night!

More hand spuns

Here is some of the yarns I have been spinning from top to bottom we have Icelandic that I dyed chestnut and burnt orange, 2 skeins of llama I think this could be my new favorite fiber to spin! A small skein of black alpaca, the white is 84%Angora, 1%silk, 15% fine wool, and the last 2 skeins are coopworth. I really need to get busy knitting this year is flying by and it will be Christmas before I know it.My parents went to the Jackson Co fair Saturday afternoon and brought back pics of this tractor painted by one of our neighbors for breast cancer awareness. I thought this was one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. I hope God has sent you all many blessing today, if its raining where you are like it has been here I hope He blessed you with an umbrella. God Bless!

Baby Update

Its been awhile since I posted something for you guys to read sorry about that. How about some baby pics? It looks like my luck is starting to get better after all the mess I had last fall with sick bunnies and loosing babies I am finally getting some little ones and nobody is getting sick!! I believe its over thank God!Dusty's Simba the first fawn German cross born in the barn, he is 32.5% German and a mix of English, French and some New Zealand Red. This little guy does not have a name yet and is 83% German. He to is a little buck but I dont have a single blue in the barn and he may carry 'e' so we will see what he looks like when he gets older for now he stays.
Janet this little doe is out of your Cadbury and I am loving the body type on this little girl. She is the nicest I think out of the litter. I am not sure if she is Tan or Otter though. Another little doe from Cadbury I think my favorite because of the cuteness factor this little girl likes to pose for her picture. She got several different pics taken. Also I love the big head on this one to, I need to check her again to make sure she is a doe but I am pretty sure she is.This is the last of the Cadbury litter another sweet little black doe, also the smallest of the litter but has a very nice body type as well. These little guys were just born July 31, 40% German. Parents are Wildhares D'Oro red and Alea's Dora chestnut agouti. Look more fawns or reds in the this litter! Hope all of you are having good luck with your bunnies and getting lost of babies! God Bless!

Sugar


This is Sugar she and her sister who was named Spice showed up a couple of weeks ago. They were very skinny and covered in flees and ticks, a drop of flee meds between the shoulders and some kitten food and they look much better now. Spice disappeared last weekend but Sugar is still here and as sweet as ever. Mom found them across the road in the ditch while doing some gardening, I used that excuse a lot when I was younger and came home with a new puppy but I don't think they ever bought it. Sugar and Moses are very good friends. Its hilarious to watch them chase each other around. First Moses is chasing her and then they turn and she chases Moses. Its been along time since we have had cats but the dog that didn't allow us to have one is no longer with us so Sugar is here to stay. God Bless I hope you all have a great week!

Finally Finished

Do you remember when I posted pics of the chicken house we were building? It seems like it has been forever but its finally done and has the chickens, ducks, and geese in it. Dad just found out we were the happy owners of 3 geese LOL. He did not get mad like I thought he would, hopefully when I find some guineas he wont get mad either. Oh you never know what I am going to get next LOL. I just love my critters in every shape and size. Here are some pics of the barn. Front of barn.East sideWest sideBack of barn.Here is a pic of my 3 Geese, 2 Ducks and some of my Chichens, they look so dirty in this pic. There are quite a few more sexlink pullets that are not in this photo. Out of all the chicks we got at TSC this spring only one appreas to be a rooster. When they start laying this fall I will have eggs coming out my ears. God Bless I pray you had a peaceful and fun weekend!

Visited a new church.

I mentioned before in a post that I was looking for a new church because of personal things going on in my life right now. I was attending a church close to home and the preacher and his wife are friends of the family however I do not feel led to be there at that church. I believe God will show or tell me where He wants me to attend and this one just is not it I don't believe. So tonight I went to another church close to the house. I am a Baptist and there are several Baptist churches around close but not every Baptist church is equal. I am very strict in the things I believe and find that a lot of churches are not as strict in some of these things. I truly believe that the King James Bible is the only Bible that should be used by the English speaking countries. Satan will take any step he can to send one of us in the wrong direction, and I believe he has even attacked our Bible making many corrupt versions of it. Here is a link about how to find a counterfeit Bible, here is another link for a comparison chart that shows 300 verses that have been changed in the 7 most popular versions of the Bible.

I also believe that Christians should listen to gospel music and not contemporary. Here is a link to a Q&A about Christian Rock, here is another. I believe that Rock music has a lot of satanist influence and is not something a Christian should be listening to, here is yet another link about that. The reason I am making so many links on the post and not explaining everything is I am not very good with my words at times and do not what you to get confused and I want to show you some proof of what I believe and why.

Once a person is saved all things should become new. That means everything not just the things we want to change. Sometimes the things we should do are not always the easiest things to do. Remember what Jesus went through to save us all. How easy could that have been and how much worse was that to go through than the things we struggle with today. From the things I have read in the Bible and some things I have talked about with a very good friend of mine it is obvious that hanging on a cross is a slow and painful death. Huge nails through your hands and one through both feet. To breath you would have to push yourself up on the nail going through your feet causing yourself even more pain. So you hang there until your so exhausted and in so much pain you no longer have the strength to pick yourself up to take a breath. Now imagine before you even have to go through that your beaten with whips and things that tear your flesh from your body. So bad that your own mother can not recognize you. Then you go through the pain of being nailed to a cross with all your weight being on 3 nails, one in each hand and one through your feet. All this Jesus done for each and everyone one of us! This is the reason I find it so important to get it right and stick with it. After all He has been through to save my soul I owe Him so much more that!

I have found there is a lot out there, both good and bad so you have to be careful where you find your info at on the net since any crazy person can put anything they wan on the net these days. Some of my favorite site are AV1611.org , and Jesus-is-savior.com I am sure there are many more good sites out there that would be very useful tools for a Christian but these are the 2 I use the most and have found to be truthful.

So for some of the above reasons I still have not found a new church. Just thought I would share my search with all of you and let you know why. When I find the church I feel God is pulling me into I will let all of you know and tell you about it. God Bless all of you and I pray you all have found Salvation with Jesus Christ. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments about any of my posts or if you just want to share your thoughts.

Hand spun Angora

Here are some pics of some of my hand spun angora yarns. I took all the pics outside in natural light. Since it finally stopped raining and we are having a nice cool peaceful day. This is English Angora I got from Candy. It was nice to spin but I like my Giant/German wool a little better.Black German Angora from Cher. I have more black wool that I am going to send off to have blended with some Silver Rambouillet for a to die for roving. Red French Angora from Ruby Slippers that was a true pleasure to spin!German Angora that was dyed pink and purple then cared together. It reminds me of grape bubble gum. God Bless hope you all have a good day!
