A few pics from around the homestead...

By
It was such a pretty day that I thought I'd take a few pics from around the homestead. It's incredibly hot here, but at least it hasn't rained this week and my husband has been able to work everyday. Summer is a wonderful time of year and it's just getting started. lol.


This is one of my hostas.


This is one of my lillies.


These are some of the blackberries turning.






This is Ooster and one of his ladies. ;)



And last but not least, the cat that adopted us. lol. It's not really ours, but it's here all day and we feed her. But, she's not really ours. Really. We would never admit to having a cat. Even if it was just a mouser. ;)

    I've always lovd black cats! Well, who am I kidding....I love cats, period. Even those hairless ones. LOL

    My blackberry bush gave off two very tart berries, and then promptly died. I may not be cut out for anything other than silk plants.

    LOL! I'm not very good at growing things usually. I just give it over to God and if He wants it to grow, it will. If not, it will die. It takes a lot of pressure off. Every spring when I plant, I pray over the whole garden and then do my best. :)

Do you make agreements with satan?

Many of us make agreements with satan and we don't even realize it. It may start out small like a small thought popping in your head. Satan fuels that thought with mores lies until you have made up your mind that you agree with satan. For example...I can't watch Dancing With the Stars...it is too much of a stumbling block for me. Why? Well, just look at them. They have beautiful bodies that seem to move effortlessly. I made an agreement with satan that my body is just not up to par. It's just not good enough. I went from a small thought of "wow, they are beautiful" to "I'm not that beautiful...I don't have those nice curves... I could never be graceful like that" Those are all satan's lies and I AGREED with them. Sure, I don't look like that, but I don't have to fall for the lie that my body and grace are any less good. But, to keep those thoughts at bay...I just don't watch it. Another example would be realizing your
