Our big snow.....

Man where did that snow storm come from? It started raining about 7:00 am then around 8:00 big ole snow flakes starting falling. By 8:30 the ground was white. It snowed all day long until around 11:00 pm that night. We ended up getting close to 7 inches.

This one was taken around 11:00 am when the farmer was going out to work. 

This one was taken around 4:00 pm 

These were all taken as the Farmer was going to work around 11:00 am

My mother-in-law took this one around 1:00 pm

These pictures were taken today around 1:00 pm It was already melting some even though the temperature did not get much above freezing today. 

Clay wanted to come out in the snow

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my snow pictures. I really love the snow. I missed the days of playing in it but the boys don't really like the snow and the Farmer really dislikes it because of being a Farmer.

Weight Watchers and 80 day Obsession

I am going to start doing weight watchers tomorrow. I am not going to the meetings. I am going to do it on my own with a friend. I am excited. It has been a while since I have done weight watchers. This is a new program Freestyle. I am also starting a new beachbody exercise program 80 day Obsession I am a little scared and excited to about this. I have been doing A little Obsessed for 2 weeks now. It was a preview of 80 days.

I am going to weigh, measure and take before pictures tomorrow. This program will last until April 5 so I am really hoping to lose pounds. I saw Dr Travis Stork on tv last week. He was taking question and one of the question sounded like it came from me. The lady asked "I exercise 6 days a week and I am still considered obese?" Dr. Travis said that women should measured her waist and it should not be over 35 inches. Oh well I have a lot of work to do. I need to really get serious and stop talking about it. It is so easy to come up with excuses. I want to be healthy. I want to live a healthy life. I really think I can do this with prayers and Gods help. 

Well if you read this far thanks for stopping by. Wish me luck and I can always use extra prayers.

Barn Kitty's

We went out to see the barn kitty's today. I can not believe how big they have gotten.

Maria she just wanted love and would not be still

Here comes Sam Look how big he is.

Sam he is so beautiful.

Eddie Housecat he might not be the most handsome cat but I like him 

Sam found a hiding place

I have been taking some picture for my brother. He wanted some pictures of barns I like this project. I really want to take more pictures this year. I got slack last year and very seldom took my camera anywhere with me. 

Loved the cows and the snow on the roof

Today was a beautiful warm day. It felt nice after those really cold days and nights we had. I am reading the bible in a year again. I really want to seek and find more answers and understandings. I have made a decision to start weight watchers again. I am excited about. This is just a rambling post but if you read this far I hope you enjoyed it. 

We got some snow!!

Wow it has been so cold getting down to 5 degrees at night and not above freezing during the day. Wednesday they were not really even calling for snow around here that I knew of but it came! I was so excited! You know how much I love to see snow. Especially the kind that comes and goes. Even though it has been so cold the sun has been shining and melted most of it around where we live.

Snow on the cars

One week into the New Year and I have not lost any weight. I started my exercise back and I have hit play everyday. I am feeling it in my legs today. They are so sore. I have made the decision to stop going to Zumba. I added up how much I was spending on it and decided it is not worth it. I love doing beach body the best. I would love to start getting more walking in. But my main goal is work on my food intake. We have decided as a family to give up drinks, dark chocolate and our weekly pizza eating out. Now to make more drastic decision because as this week has shown that has not helped. I will get my act together with the help of God because I am not strong enough to do it alone. 

Thanks for stoping by. 

New Year 2018

We are 2 days in to a new year. I have been searching my heart for a word for the new year. Last years word was "Change" I am not sure about how much change happened in my life. I did not have any success in reading the bible thru this past year. I lost 10 pounds and gained it back. I exercised everyday except on Sundays. I did take days off now and then to let my aching knees feel better. I turned 50 and loved it that I lived to be that old. Life was good to us. We had plenty from the garden and have been blessed with good health. Prayers that 2018 is good to us as well.

I finally decided on my word "Seek" 

Definition of seek

sought play  \ˈsȯt\; seeking

transitive verb

1: to resort to : go to 

2a : to go in search of : look for b : to try to discover 

3: to ask for : request

4: to try to acquire or gain : aim at

•  —D. M. Potter

Matthew 6:33King James Version (KJV)

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Jeremiah 29:13King James Version (KJV)

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

My reason for picking this word is that I want to get closer to God. Learning more about his word and understanding it. I want to seek him and know him personally as you do a close friend. 

The New Year has started off a cold one. I am normally a cold weather kind of girl but this is to cold. 

Living on a farm and cold weather does not mix. The cows water is frozen. I hauled 2 5 gallon buckets 5 times to the cows for the Farmer. He had chicken house work that took him all day to fix. The heat seems to never cut off. We have been having a fire in the fireplace I started it today. I love having this skill. I learned from my mom. My youngest son loves sitting near the fire. 

We had our traditional New Year meals it was yummy. Collard, black eye peas, sweet potato, cornbread muffin, turnips, and bbq pork chops. 

Well once again I hope that I will do better with blogging, 

I usually make a few goals so here it goes:

GOALS for 2018:

Read the bible everyday and seek to know God and all of his Glory!

To be thankful and complain less

To be grateful I can exercise instead of complaining I don't want to and to keep doing them everyday except Sundays. 

I am really going to get a grip on my food aka eating habits this year with Gods help. 

Thanks for stoping by and may your New Year be filled with God's Love also.
