An up date of the dogs, First I must say , I am always in Awe when prayers are answered, I was deeply trouble over the outside dogs where living. We tried to care for them , only to fail in being a responable person. I would pray and pray , asking God to send me help or just to past this feeling of failing as a human being who wanted be a responable person. And so my prayers did get answered, not the way I wanted it to , but answered they were.

My Kind, loving, giving sister-in-law visited for a ten day stay. Our funds were low. Embressed in fact, that we really didn't show her the sights of the new state we had moved too. In fact she showered us with dinners out and maybe a visit to a few sights here. It was through her that the answer to my prayers about the dogs would come. Her willingness to give us the funds, in taking care of the two outside dogs . We put them down. Yet we could find any other way to giving those two dogs a life. Shelters wouldn't take them or would even answer a phone. So the days went on, watching them come and go, the ticks and flea's over coming their coats. I having no place to bathe them, or wanting them to , because of the thought of touching them.

So, God gave us the answer to my prayers, even though it wasn't what I wanted

I wish we could get the dogs off to another place, I wish Hank would get off his butt and take them to the animal shelter, I can't stand looking at Maccebba she looks so nasty. and I know she isn't well but we just lay back and let it go on

As my garden grows

As the days come and go ,I take a morning walk to my garden, to see if they have grown more and what is there ,what may have seen a rough night. Walking away proud of my very first garden, on my own, remembering what I was taught by my mother as well as with from my very good friend "Mitch".. whom I helped take care of the one he grew near work and was a member of a gardening club. It seems as though my husband is enjoying the thought of the having one too. Proud we both are, to what our hands and sore backs have put out. It is time will tell how well we will be ,on taking care of our small garden.
In our darkest times. the growth of our small meak garden shows me that we are here, where we were meant to be,. Leaving a job I spent twenty six years at, to coming to where my passion seems to take me. Things will fall into place and that I must keep in mind the mustard seed and those seeds of my garden, since the ground here in Tennessee is ever hard, my hand hurts digging and putting those seeds to garden, and now watching them pushing up from the very hard ground that I layed over them, They have pushed and pushed to make free to the sun and the sky. As hard as our life is and as hard as we try to get above our money problems , I am reminded of the seeds and how hard they too ,had to come. they are here I am here. And with Gods help or the great spirit ,, what ever you call it, my faith will , my hope will , my trust will get up above those things that keep us forever worried. I am so grateful for what I have and where I am going , Thank God and all the Angels that keep me moving forward .

A day in the hills of Tennessee

Country living

This new life am leading is so different, I wonder at times if I will ever get to where I will be totally comfortable with it. I am learning that out here Dogs are let to roam and thier health is something that you can't keep up on, I have seen neighbors and their dogs just running, visiting where ever they wish to go, or is it to roam. Then there is thier health, how can you keep up on it , they are free to pick up ticks and flea's and anything else that wishes to take a ride on their coat. I have my own dog, one that I raised from a pup, took classes with and up to this far in her life as well as mine, have taken her to see a vet for all most everything, but then there is a change in my wealth , too. I know longer have the money I was making since I have retired from a job that I have worked 26 years of my life. And yet I Love it here, the raising of the morning sun, and then the setting of it. I wish there was more animals in our pasture that would put more of a topper to the country life that I have so pictured. I want the horse in it. watching it graze, the barn being used to house the horse, and riding it into that sun set, this is what I saw in my life, in fact I had hoped for. I am here so why aren't I living it? Money. it comes right down to the cost of this dream and not being able to make that part of it come true, I still hold my faith, I believe God is there supporting me, It just takes time, and I do have that, and so be it. !!!
