The Lord's Prayer -


Matthew 6:7-13
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Apple Trees & Big Red Barns

Apple Trees and Big Red Barns…

Here’s some more photos I took on Tuesday morning. When the first snow fell, I thought the barn and our lovely crabapple tree were like peas and carrots. Comment and tell me which ones you like best! Enjoy!

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fifteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13

A Photo-Shoot Of Barnyard Friends

A Photo-Shoot Of Barnyard Friends

I wanted to share some pictures I took not too long ago, of the goats and chickens. Enjoy!

My Momma goat, Belladonna

The newest doe to the family - Lil’ Flopsy. Cute little thing, ain’t she?

The newest doe again - side-shot

Here she is again, but her Momma is with her. The Momma moved right as the picture was taken, but it’s a cute one of Lil’ Flopsy.

Here are some hens - yellow *buff orpington* - red *Rhode Island Reds*.

Here is a side-shot of Mr. Bennet. He is Jocelyn’s rooster.

Here is another one of him. He is the biggest rooster we have.

This one here is Paint. He is an Americauna. The Americaunas lay green and blue eggs. They are sometimes called the Easter Egg Chickens. He crows pretty good. Pretty isn’t he?

I snapped this just as Paint was crowing! It was pretty neat taking that picture. :)

In this one, he is running away from me. He looks to me like he is saying to the other chickens, “I’m the big rooster on the campus, or roost, if you’d like!” Or “how dare you call me fat! It’s just all my feathers; they make me look poofy. Hmph.”  It was very funny when I saw.

Here is one of Paint with some of his hens, called his harem.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13

What's in Your Garden? (Capital One theme)
Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Posted in Pictures of Our Homestead

I said I would post some pictures of what we have in our garden, so here they are!

This is the only row of Okra we have.

 Ocra.jpg

We only have one row of Zucchini too:

Zuccini.jpg

We have two and a half rows of peppers. Here are the Banana Peppers:

Pepper.jpg

And this one, the sun made it purple:

PurplePepper.jpg

These are Round Peppers:

This is a Tai Hot Pepper plant:

Can you see the little read pepper in the middle?

Here's a close-up for you:

Now, to the other side of the garden , across from the Peppers, is our Pole Beans:



Here are our Lima Beans:

We have Bok Choi growing with our Lima Beans, and we didn't even plant it there:


BokChoi.jpg

Here is a cluster of Spinach:

This row of Tomatoes is behind the Spinach:

We need to put the cattle fencing back up for them to climb on. Speaking of fencing, I will posting pictures of the wooden fence we put up soon!

It has these Leeks at the front of the row:

Our two kinds of Lettuce:

I got some on Sunday night and put it in the fridge. It felt so good to go out there and pick the food we grew ourselves!

Mom and Eric planted Potato seeds, and they are already growing:

We only have one row of Broccoli:
Brocoli.jpg


In the same row as the Broccoli, we have Brussell Sprouts:
BrusselSprouts.jpg

These Tomatoes are at the end of our garden:

They are Cherries:

Tomato Flower:
Tomatoflower.jpg

This Tomato is still green:
Tomato-green.jpg


All right, that's enough garden pictures for now! Was that enough for you all? I hope so! The next pictures I'll be posting will be of the Horses and the Bunnies. And... we got our chicks from the feed store a few hours ago! I was very excited when we got them! I think there's about 60 more or less in there. We have them in a big box in the garage, with a heat lamp, waterer, feeder, and thermometer. I will post some pictures of them with the next pictures I post, be on the lookout!

Rachel

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts of a thirteen-year-old girl from the country."You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13
