Do you see the Kingfisher?
He was trying to hide!

 to be subject to rulers and authorities,
to be obedient,
 to be ready to do whatever is good, 
to slander no one, 
to be peaceable and considerate,
 and to show true humility toward all men.

Yesterday we were blessed with 14 
new-to-us hens! 
As of this morning, everyone seems to be adjusting 
very well! I think the heat and humidity is more
of a problem than the extra ladies!

The hens are loving their new spa area!

Miss Chris seemed to enjoy her new vest so much
that she has requested 2 more! 
Looking forward to working with this yarn!

Made my first feed bag tote!
It's not perfect, but I just had to try it!
It didn't take too long and was
rather easy to do!
I'm pretty sure I will be making some more!



Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition,
WITH THANKSGIVING, 
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts
and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7
