Ever have a day when this is how you feel ? I just adore this picture. These kittens have been a delight. This one I call Ruth , that is the woman who will take her and be her forever mommy. I'm just the stand in for now ! Thought you'd get a kick out of this.... Take Care ~J

Good Sunday Morning to my Dearest and Best.... Loving God this Sunday Morning, not different than any morning actually. Up early and for a walk. God is so good to me. I am blessed beyond measure, I have a lot , so very much to be thankful for . And I am. God is so very good. Relational Relevant and Real. I hope you know these things this day. I'll write more later. I have a very busy day ahead. Going to talk to Seva about wedding flowers ! That's exciting ! I must go for now. Trust your heart and emotion with the one who created it !

A Tag, A Meme and a Friend......

Where am I going with this title ? Not sure myself , Hold on to your hats kids and we'll take a little ride down " tag lane " and see what it looks like on my side of the car. :)
I most definitely need to thank my special friend Kimmy for hitting me up with this Summer challenge of a Meme. What the heck is a Meme and what does that stand for any way ? Evidently a Meme is guilty pleasure or silly something, I must share with you to delight your brain in useless knowledge of me... :) But upon finishing this little project I myself must tag 6 more bloggers, although I don't know 6 more bloggers, to do in turn the same. Meme 6 more ! Sounds so ridiculous and fun huh ?
Lets' begin.
1. I love to swim alone ! I love to swim in a pool BY MYSELF . Big surprize I know, This past March when Mel and I were in Hershey, I swam in the most beautiful pool I have ever been in in my life, with live piano music being piped into the arboretum over the pool. Just me and Mozart swam laps for almost an hour! Love It ! ( and it is against every rule ) * Never SWIM ALONE *
2. I love to doodle. while talking on the phone I often find myself drawing flowers , lots of roses hydrangeas and the like. Sitting here at my desk right now I see three different pages of elaborately drawn bouquets, roses , corsages and of course a JENNY or two or three or eight!
3. I enjoy singing hymns while working in the garden. "In the Garden " happens to be about one of the Summer favorites. :) He is Able, Because He Lives, How Great thou Art, Holy Holy Holy, and many more. I hope you don't find me in the garden in "gardening clothes" singing while I work. In inappropriate attire :) Ha.hahaha.
4. I usually wear a night gown and mud puddle boots for my first trip outside in the morning, to let the poultry out, check the flowers and check the garden. Dead head the petunias.... :)
5. This is not really easy. I'm an open book so different things are hard..... I love to Knit. Not a surprize, but it may surprize you to know I made a baby blanket for a friend recently that is as long as a "sari" or a bed spread. Ridiculously sized out of proportion. While knitting it didn't want to stop till my yarn was gone. hahahah.... Ya , It's way too big for a new baby. Kind of ashamed that I couldn't stop at a normal size, and embarrassed, but hey I prayed for him the entire time I knitted it ! :)
6. I love to take photos of animals. my own, others any actually, and with that I love to talk in their voice, to them and for them. The Lord blesses me with knowing what their own voice sounds like. Everyone here on Echohill has a voice and most often as I talk to them I talk back to myself in their voice. :) Am I normal I don't think so.. But I am happy. Most of the time any way..... Enjoy your list of 6 useless things about my world. Try to comply , Mention me again in yours if you are tagged, Humor me and please participate. Happy Summer....





I will tag these 6 people.
1. Jonathon "siggy" just because I enjoy his perspective on most things, a young man with a serious heart for the Lord and a wonderful sense of humor!
2. Todd Orshiro. Because I know he reads my blog on occasion and would enjoy reading 6 unknown things about him !
3. Kenny . :) Will he comply ? Doubt it but it is worth a try. :) love you dear.
4. Melanie Genova, This will be fun too.... a fun friend.......
5. Holly Renee. Ha bet she won't comply either, but it is worth a try.
6. My dear friend Melda...... Those of you who don't have a blog please just make your Meme as part of my blog in the comments section. We can read it there and you can still tag your six there as well. Or if you are on fb you can do your 6 there. But mention jennys ramblings in the process. Thank You. Love You all..... Jenny

ahhhh sweet summer.....

I Love Summer! I have been so busy. I just can't figure out how I was able to do it all before I quit working full time? I don't have enough time in my day to turn around let alone get it all done. I feel as though I have A D D as I can't get one project completed before I'm beginning another, I have 15 things started and not one finished. I'm excited to be hostessing a dinner party next week for some girls form the morning aerobics program. I'm working on the menu and planning the afternoon. I hope they realize it's just a silly old farm ! I think they'll have a good time. I know I'll fix a lovely meal, that's not the hard part. :) I have been "jammin" with strawberry jam all afternoon yesterday and yet I need to do it one more day today, Kenny is babysitting this afternoon , I unfortunately have so much to do I can't stay with the kids. Seems like I'm having a hard time posting my pictures, something is disabled and I can't get passed it. SO I have to re try that whole process. The animals are all fine. 2 Kittens left to give away. I hope I find a good home for them all. They are playing and jumping now. Still not particularly interested in food. Maybe I'll try some kitten chow. Any way that s all that's new just busy being busy enjoying the simple joys of summer. I Love Being Outside ! Yay for summer.... Love you this day. Please be blessed... ~J

Good June Sunday Morning to you !

A pretty shade of green is my color choice for today's type. Happy Sunday morning to you. I love being here, not working like a nut, and enjoying the simple pleasures of my life. I want to share a few of my special morning joys with you this pretty summer morning. First of all let me begin by saying I am so Blessed. I really, really am. I thouroughly enjoy this farm and everything that goes with it ! This is a special place, there is so much to be thankful for. And I am....

Hi Friends, So sorry I have been so busy lately I have not been posting well. I have tried to up link some pictures recently and for whatever reason I am having trouble with that. I don't know what my problem is. We are having a wonderful summer. Vacation was tremendous, Now that I'm home and getting back into the swing of things it's good to get caught up on gardening and what not. My flower beds however are horiffic! Seems I am doing very well w/ the vegetables and stinking with the flowers!
I am so enjoying our poultry. We did sadly lose one of the turkeys to "turkey heaven " today. Seems as though Belle has a hard time discerning my friend Melanie's Rule: no animal on the farm is permitted to eat another member of the animal that also lives on the farm!
so unfortunately the butter or ball or honey or suckle went to turkeyheaven..... Makes me sad. Well that's aboutall the news i have to share with you this day. Love to you....~J

I Love to Work in the Garden

One of my most favorite things to do is to work in the garden. It is one of my favorite places in the whole world. While recently away on vacation , I was able to feel as though I was missing home, my garden and our animals. Now that I'm home and settled back into a normal routine, I find that home is a terrific place to be ! My favorite place in all of creation actually..... Right now this late Monday night I'm tired , Don't have a whole lot to share and we are getting the early evidences of a pretty "electric" thunder storm, so I'm going to close for now and I'll try to post some pictures, I think I'd better unplug this "puter" . Love Ya , ~J
