    Good Morning Folks, hope ya'll and yours are doing well. +7 here this a.m.. We are supposed to get 2-4" inches of snow tomorrow but then warming up a little later in the week. We are still "camped in" here but will have to make a perishable grocery top off the first part of the week. For now we are just enjoying the critters coming to the feeders. Our 40+ band of Turkeys are getting to the breeding season, so the Big Tom's are starting their courting ritual right here in the yard. Everyone try to have a good day and stay safe. :coffee:

    Do you wind them up like a ball of string for some reason?

    I'm guessing he was using a big cup of yogurt to put them in while he was collecting them....each ball represents a cup...Good enough for a few messes of catfish... But he'll transfer them to big styrofoam containers with either newspaper or soil to keep them....

    Good morning y'all. Hope y'all have a SPLENDID SUNDAY. Last day of 7AM-7PM for me this week, off tomorrow.
    I have a couple different things I want to share with y'all, no, not the virus...

    Good news, something to think about,

    Are you an organ donor? If not, its easy...just give your heart to JESUS...

    And then this, an email from my Bible app.

    Choose Love in
    Difficult Times

    Dear friends,
    let us love one another,
    for love comes from God.
    Everyone who loves
    has been born of God
    and knows God.


    1 John 4:7

    Sometimes it feels like news updates are coming every few minutes. When we give so much of our attention to events beyond our control, we can lose sight of the power that we do still have. We can choose how we respond to our circumstances. And perhaps even more important, even in the midst of those circumstances, we can choose how we treat others.

    Recently we reminded you about the time that Jesus’ disciples were afraid their boat might sink, but then He calmed the storm. Just like Jesus’ disciples, we’re all in the same boat with Jesus — but we’re also in it with each other. And we can choose to encourage one another, to support each other, to love each other, and to point each other back to Jesus.

    Love each other, just as I have loved you. If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.

    JOHN 13:34-35

    Here Are 4 Ways We Can Choose Love
    1. Encourage one another.
    We live in such an incredible time! Even when we can’t be physically present with one another, we can still call, text, email, connect on social media, attend church online, and more.

    Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

    PROVERBS 3:27

    2. Support each other.
    Some of the most meaningful things we can do are simple and practical. Check in with your neighbors and ask how they’re doing. Share whatever you have. Drop off a meal for someone who can’t get out. Pay for the person behind you in a drive-through. Send an email gift card to a friend.

    …our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do.

    1 JOHN 3:18

    3. Love each other.
    Jesus said that loving your neighbor was the second most important commandment. And in the parable of the Good Samaritan, He explained what He meant by that word, “neighbor.” Paul even suggested we turn loving each other into a competition!

    Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another.

    ROMANS 12:10

    4. Point each other to Jesus.
    It’s Jesus who calms our storms. But it’s up to us to remind each other of God’s promises. And to pray for one another. You can do both these things — and more — in the same ways we mentioned in #1 (and of course in the Bible App).

    Just remember: No matter what we may be going through, we’re all in it together. We all live on the same planet. We all breathe the same air. Jesus said we would have troubles in this life. But He gave us His Spirit. And he gave us each other.

    And those two things are
    more than enough.

    Yes ma'am! Fortunately I get the weekends off. I did have one Saturday so far where I chose to make a local run for some extra cash but it is very rare for me to work weekends.

    Good morning! 31* this morning. Clear.
    Good melting yesterday. Moisture all going into the ground.
    Big bonus for us. Maybe a bike ride today.
    Good progress in the shop.

    That is a beautiful dove. At least I think it is by looking at the head.
