HOME

Here is our fatty girl Miss Sophie playing just about an hour ago. If we would have taken a picture of her this morning. It would have broken your heart! She was very limp and couldn't even hardly move. Thank you God and friends for praying!


Thank you Precious Ladies.........I asked for prayer and we got it! You are all so amazing!

First........... I have to tell you that little Miss Sophie is doing fine. We were a mess this morning for sure. Poor Mr. Phil with three girls in the house. We left for work early.......so we could stop by the vet.......they would not be open until 8. We went ahead and wrapped Sophie in a blanket and had to go into work. Once we got in we were not doing very well. That is when I thought to write you all so you could start praying. Thank you so much.........we could not believe it when we went back out to check on her again. She at least had her head up............ before that she was flopping all around and couldn't even stand up. Poor little thing! Any way.......Tressa finally got her to the vet........ Dr. Debbie said that probably what happened was she got to cold in the night and her blood sugar went down. When she got warmed up .......that helped her. She is doing great tonight. She is playing and biting us (playfully). Talk about "Praising the Lord". We are so thankful that she is doing better. Isn't it amazing how you can just fall for an animal so much? I think the fact that Sophie depends on us for her everything............ has made us love her even more.

You are welcome to use my photo if you wish.

I went to the girl's house to gather the eggs tonight. One girl is laying the most beautiful blue eggs. I hurried back into the house and got the one that she laid yesterday. I think I will have to blow them out and decorate with them. Cute cute! They are so good to their Mom......that is me if you were wondering! You know at work I go with my apron and gather the eggs in the huge fridge. I giggle all the way. Makes my day a little more interesting. I come back to the bakery with eggs in my apron. Hmmm I bet the Lord is giggling also!


I said that I would put up a new recipe that our friend Alicia gave us for work. She is always helping us find new recipes. You can help us also if you like. The bread is beautiful when all made up and it tastes wonderful. I took a picture of ours, but if you go over to the website it is really pretty. The recipe will be there for you. It is called Maple Nut Coffee Cake

You are welcome to use this photo on your blog.....if you wish.

The evening was very pretty tonight............so I walked around the farm and took a few shots with the camera of what I saw. It kind of helps me calm down from the day. I have been thinking so much about all who have worked outside of the home for years..........it takes so much of your life doesn't it? Still working on being grateful for a job. Wish it was still farming......even though that was very hard also! I need to be satisfied.....right?

You are welcome to use this one also....if you like.

This is a little birdhouse I have out in the Potter's Shed. I like with the bittersweet on it!


You can use this one also!

Thank you so.......... for stopping by........I love reading your comments. You are such precious ladies and I do take you to the Father quit often during each day. Never thought I would enjoy blogging as much as I do. It makes my heart smile..........a lot!

It is Wednesday night when I am putting this post up. It will go out to the subscribers on Thursday.

Again thank you so much for praying.......for Miss Sophie. Having animals puts a lot of drama in your life!

Hugs from my FARM to Your HOME!

  8. Good Morning,
    I'm so glad that Sophie is better and also that we can take ALL things to the Lord.

    The pictures are beautiful including the coffee cake. I made this recipe last spring and my husband and his best friend loved it. And yes, I did too!

    I appreciate your honesty about working away from home and the hard work at home. I'll continue to pray asking God's blessing on your family.

  9. That's just about the cutest kitten I've seen... and I've seen a lot. After your recent ordeal at the farm, I can imagine what she means to your family. Pets can be such a gift from the Lord! Glad to hear she is doing much better!!

  10. Oh my dear Linda..I was praying for Miss Sophie, as I know how devastating that can be when those precious little animals become sick. Just breaks a person's heart. And yes, God is good and He listens, that is why prayers are so important!!!

    As always...I love all your pictures and must put a few up on my blog later.

    Hope you are having a blessed day.....
    xoxo Gert <3

  11. Good news the kitten is alright. Maybe that's what happened to my little dog. Our vet had no idea what was wrong and we sadly brought her home. She was better the next day. The maple nut coffee cake looks delish. Thank you for the link. Have a wonderful day.

  12. Hi Linda,
    Soooo happy about sweet Sophie! How scary for you....she is your little baby! She really is a precious little kitty. I would love to cuddle her.
    Your bread looks delicious and I think I'm going to have to try that one soon! YUMMY!
    Go over to my blog and see my apron I made with your adorable pattern. It's YOUR creation not mine!!! It's on my Sept 19 post. I just love it! I think of you when I wear it! :0)
    Hoping you are having good days and not tied up in knots. God is certainly with you through these days and helping you every step of the way.
    And guess what....Friday is almost here ! YIPPEE!
    Blessings to you and your family.

  13. Hey Linda,
    I don't know if you have visited this blog, but today Gina did a post on apple cake that looks really quite simple and delicious.

    Thought you'd be interested.

    Such a sweet little thing. Hope she thrives now.

  14. What your little Sophie is going through sounds like what our Lucy went through. She was rescued at 3 weeks old and had to be bottle fed with her litter mates. They weren't getting fed often enough, and some of them were 'bottoming out' - one actually died from this. After we got Lucy, at the age of 6 weeks, the Vet loaned us a tube of what was more or less 'sugar in a tube' in case she bottomed out. We fed her the 'Mother's formula' in a can that is sold at pet stores, and she did show signs of bottoming out once - limp, unresponsive. I squeezed some of the stuff in the tube onto my finger, rubbed it in her mouth and put her in the carrier - within 2 hrs, she was her normal self. We had her sleep in a carrier when she was that small so that she would have access to her special formula 24/7. We had 2 other cats and they would have loved to help her eat her rich formula - but they didn't need it. When she got big enough that she was not having to eat so often, she also got to the point where she would keep her tummy full enough that she wouldn't bottom out.

    I know how scary it is when that happens - I hope little Sophie starts to 'hold her own' soon. She's a cutie!!
