Good morning, everyone, how was your weekend?
I feel like I didn't have one. Ours was spent out of town on Saturday and then Sunday we were busy putting the chicken coop back up in our yard. In the middle of that, a downpour started and Curt, Nick and I got soaked. It was quite comical actually.
The Weather:::
Rain, hot temps and some freezing mornings. We seem to get a couple of seasons in just one day. Today however, sees our first 90 day.
Monday - Sunny, 90
Tuesday - Partly cloudy/wind, 91
Wednesday - Mostly sunny, 63
Thursday - Partly Cloudy, 66
Friday - Mostly cloudy, 67
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 70
Sunday - Partly cloudy, 81
As I look outside my window:::
Sun is shining brightly. There are a bunch of grackles on the lawn, eating some of the deer corn that was left uneaten.
Right now I am:::
I just got home, made another cup of coffee and a sandwich, and have sat down on my freshly made bed, to write this post.
Thinking and pondering:::
About our chicken coop. My mind is just filled with all things chicken lately. Yes, I am one of those chicken mama's now and smitten with the babies.
On my bedside table:::
My kindle, phone, tv remote and coffee cup.

What I am creating:::
My simple pleasure:::
Watching the little chickies growing. I am just so in awe of these little creatures and how quickly they've grown.
Looking around the house:::
Kaia and Elliott, are asleep on the bed next to me. The baby chicks are playing in their little coop, they are running back and forth and trying to fly around.
From the camera:::
Spring books and spring bookmarks, just make me smile.

I need to vacuum and carpet clean the living room, after the rains yesterday, Kaia left muddy prints as she went out to potty. It's one of the reasons I really dislike carpet, and light colored carpet at that.

Bible verse, Devotional, Quote:::
Jesus is the way, but He is also in the way. - Julie Green
I heard this quote the other day and it hit me, so hard. It's true. Jesus is the way, but He is also IN the way of the attacks from the enemy. He stands between us and the harm that could possibly affect us.
How comforting to know that, it makes difficult moments that more easier to get through.
On my prayer list:::
My mom Jacinta
The Luckett family
Love that quote. Such a great comfort to know that all we face has been filtered through the hands of our loving Father. Have a wonderful week!
