Chick-Chicks and Sunshine!

I am so glad to see baby chicks and spring time sunshine!! I am doing very little in my garden -still nursing this shoulder and [yes]- it is getting better but not fast enough. I am still going for therapy three times a week.
Farmer Man has been very sick again, last week end he started having high fever and had UTI again. He is better but tells me he never feels good. I know he does not feel well but the week before Easter he helped me a little outside, we painted two outside tables with me giving him the instructions he had to have to be able to do it. It is so sad to see him seem to be so weak. I can't take him anywhere any more much he gets so tired. He does go with me to help feed the goats and chickens. I think he needs to go out and get some exercise and be in the sun some.

We went on with Easter even though Farmer Man was sick. He stayed in bed most of the day and got up in the afternoon. Most everyone came and all the children had fun hiding eggs and hunting them. We always make lots of pictures at Easter. When my mother was still with us we always went to her house and had good food and egg hunting. Well all my kids, grand kids and great grand kids do that here now. This was the most beautiful and warm Easter we have had in a long time--we certainly enjoyed the day---Farmer Man watched the kids hunting eggs out the window.

My new baby chicks are growing so fast. They are bantams and I didn't know what breed i was getting but now they are getting feathered and two of them are Frizzles.
The feathers curl up they are so cute.

I thank God for the variety of creatures he has given us to care for or just look at--and all the beautiful colors.

Love,
Marie{ Aunt Maria}

Ecclesiastes 1:1---Right time for everything--

This picture is Farmer Man with the youngest great grandchild Fisher--Cute--
It is finally time for spring--by the calender it is and some days it gives us a glimpse into the sunshine and I love it. I am enjoying it as much as I can.
I did have to start therapy for my injured shoulder--and am looking forward to it being back in good working order soon. I am having to do the exercises to strengthen it it has gotten so weak from the pain i was having and not being able to use it very much. Enough about that I will be back in good shape soon.

I do not in any way know how to be a writer nor do I know how to write poetry---I am
a child of God and he did give me some things to do and a talent of creating things in the way he leads me to do them so I wrote something this week ---titled,
"I Saw and Heard God Today"
When I awoke today I saw the Sunshine-
When I awoke today I heard the breathing of my spouse-
When I awoke today I had food to eat-

When I went outside I saw all God's creatures and heard them speak to me-
When I walked about I saw the birds and heard their songs-

When I walked about I saw the colors of the creatures in my care--white--red--black--brown--hazelnut--spotted and mottled-
When I walked about I saw the flowers God has given to me to enjoy--yellow--white-- green--purple-
Gather the flowers I give you and enjoy and give to others to enjoy too-

Today I saw and Heard God in Everything.

Thank you Father.

Ecclesiastes 1

Ecclesiastes 1

Ecclesiastes 1

What's in a name?

Today Farmer man has not felt well --He has been taking one kind of med. and they changed it. I don't know if that is what is wrong or if he has had another little stroke. He called me his two sister's names all day ---the sisters that are dead. I asked if he knew me this morning and he said I was them. The physical therapist said he could tell he was not himself. He went with me to the barn this morning and he threw the hay out for the cows and i got the goat feed and let him feed them. When we had been back in the house only a few minutes he thought we had to go do what we had just done. I called our DR. and he said watch him he might be getting a urinary tract infection. In the midst of everything though there is rays of fun or something to laugh about. Tonight after supper and I was clearing table I leaned over and hugged him and asked if he knew me tonight and he said ---I WAS, "JUMPING WEED"---I laughed and told him that was the best name I had ever had. Jumping Weed fits me pretty well because I am always jumping around doing many things. He thought it was funny too.

Later in the evening he asked if i was going with him in the morning? I asked,"Where are we going". To Miss Yoes's to eat breakfast with her---I told him I wish we could but mother was dead 7yrs this mo. then he didn't remember that and asked could we go to the house and stay all night I told him it wasn't our house anymore. Then I told him I could cook him a breakfast like mother ---we will have ham, eggs and homemade biscuits and gravy if he likes. The day was a day to remember and it was not a bad day.

Love,
"Jumping Weed"--Marie
My American Indian Name I guess.
