Hey....you know all that manpower I have here....its like cheating! THAT's how I get most of it done...plus I don't sleep much, either!2dream said:
Too much running through that brain case...can't seem to shut it down at night. 
Those boys of mine are a Godsend and a blessing. They really do alot of work for me each day and have grown accustomed to just doing it, whereas most boys of that age would be really bulky and whiney about it. I love those kids!

People, I just have to tell you about all the beauty I saw today........I can honestly say that the mountains in the spring are just a taste of what heaven should look like! We have been having two solid weeks of rains, so the mountains are crying for joy from every crease in the mountains, gushing and tumbling down to the flatlands. Of all the artists in the world, old-world "masters" of art included, God is the master of them all....the waterfalls and streams I saw today left me speechless. And that is a feat all unto itself! 
The sun came out just long enough to highlight the whole masterpiece....huge valley farms with emerald fields dusted in the gold of watercress, wild mustard, buttercups and dandelions.
The shadey mountain streams and waterfalls punctuated with wild roses, columbine, trilliums and Jack-in-the-Pulpet. In the distance are the purple mountains and blue-bottomed clouds, closer is a whole pallette, in shades of green, painting the foothills.
Dotting the fields are fat sheep and lambs, cattle and calves, horses and foals. Where in all the world could one find such contentment and beauty in one picture?
Days like today I truly thank God all day for the kind of job I have that allows me to drive through this wonderland and see sights this grand and awe-inspiring.
I hope you all have similar sights to stimulate your senses and bring peace to your soul!

Beekissed- I just read back a bunch of pages to find the comments about raw milk. I don't think I've ever had it, but someday I will! My mom never buys anything other than whole milk, and she actually still has it delivered from a sorta-local farm. We think alike in many ways, especially in the way we view what is safe from the grocery store. Does no one remember the tainted baby formula or pet foods?
Someone the other day told me that I shouldn't use my homemade dishwasher detergent because it is "unsafe" and will make me sick. I asked how "safe" the store bought ones are, and they said "that's different." *sigh*
Anyway, it's nice to get some real common sense from someone in the medical field. I mostly go to nature paths, but I hardly ever get sick, much less sick enough to warrant a doctors visit. I don't have any memory of needing a prescription, ever.

Henny, its always good to find folks with similar ideas about things! Until I found this place, I thought my mom and I were the only people who felt this way, as we seem surrounded by the walking dead....zombies enslaved to the knowledge that is spoonfed to them by the media and the government agencies that deal with public health.
It is so comforting to know that we are not alone in feeling like someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes in a systematic way....almost as if they fully intend to render the US helpless, sick, fat and under-educated!
Henny, whole milk is going to taste so funny after all these years of never tasting it! This ought to be fun. Someone asked me today, if we don't eat much dairy, what in the world were we getting a milk cow for?? I told them I have no idea, but God knows....and perhaps someone out there will need the food that comes from her and there she will be! And, once again, we will be struck with the thought that God works in mysterious and wondrous ways!

I have a co-worker who also would like this site, if her family had internet. They run a sheep farm. She swears up and down that diabetes is a conspiracy of the drug companies. "It's the perfect disease! It requires buying drugs for life, and you can live a long time. More drugs to buy!" I dunno about that, but at least she's thinking outside the norm, right?Beekissed said:
The problem I most have is people telling me not to believe what I can see. That I should trust someone more "educated" over what I see with my own eyes. I'll do my own research and make up my own mind, thank you very much!

Yep....a lot of these so-called incurable diseases are convenient for the money making machine that is the medical field. The cancer industry is my pet peeve and it feeds on people's fear of dying. I have worked oncology and now work hospice and I will say nothing more on the subject other than---its a trillion dollar business in the US alone. There is really no incentive to discover a "cure" and, meanwhile, they have good-hearted people gathering money doing Relay for Life and donating to the ACS, thinking that their money is going for a good cause. Its sad and not a very popular opinion, but cancer is a very lucrative income for many, many people---they are not going to let people know the truth about it.

I just had to tell someone!!! Every day I can't believe I live here....I drive around in constant wonder that this area was here all the time I've lived in WV and I never knew! I feel so blessed to have been brought here to see it, smell it and feel it in my lifetime. Even my oldest sis--- who never really notices the beauty of nature and prefers to live near town--- goes into raptures when she comes to visit.

Last night I sat beside one of my friends as she left this world. She was 93 years old and had lived a rich and varied life. Her great-grandfather had even worked on Jesse James' wounds during the Civil War era. She had amazing stories to tell and she was a real lady, right up until the end.
Today she is walking in Paradise, led by angels. I thank God for this job that I have....so many joys, so many emotions, so many ways to love.
What amazing grace is afforded to us, we who do not deserve!
On a side note, I just watched my lady bluebird really blessing out her husband....all the while having a beak full of nesting material! Now, THAT'S my kind of woman!
