Monday Mornings ~ 1/3 Living

Only 4 more Mondays.




Once I'm "retired", Mondays will blend into the other days of the week.

No line of demarcation.

Every day, except Sunday, will be nameless.

But full of work, like last year's snow-filled days. 

Work.



And wonder...



And celebration.



And raw living.

1/3 living.



Stay tuned...it's going to be quite the ride.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Colossians 3:2

Snowy Sunday Simplicity

On Sundays, we like to take things slow.

Sabbath slow.



Although we started out with some wind and snow on Saturday...



Sunday ended up nice.

 

And sun filled.



Our two goats, Rachael and Levi, are now bedded down in their new winter location.

Attached to the barn for inside warmth.



And some of the chickens are still making up their minds.



Deciding on a winter roost.



Or to simply enjoy the mild weather.



The rabbits have many options and love the snow.

And the room to roam and run.





 Everyone is welcome.



And no one goes the cold winter alone.



We hope your Sunday was simple and snowy.

Black Friday ~ Russ-Stick Style


No crowds.

No shopping, no stores.

No malls, no travel.
No early sales. No gimmicks, no gizmos.
No money...

No biting...

No aggressive behavior...
No pushing...or shoving.

No stampede...

For us, just a serene day at home.

We leave consumerism to the experts.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing.
