Five Cochin Girly Eggs in the BASKET!

Hello sweet ladies............
We have a precious letter from Regina..........


You know, lots of times we hear people say, "I'll pray for you."  and you never really know if they did or not.  That was not the case with Tenlee.  We saw many miracles such as friends taking care of kiddos, bringing food, and sharing the burden when we needed to cry or laugh.   I knew you guys were praying and I thought I would share a few of the miracles that came about because you care.  

1.  The surgery...it was amazing!  One of the doctors drew a diagram of the surgery on Tenlee's door.  Even after looking at it every time I went through the door, I still can't wrap my brain around all the work that went into forming those chambers and making them work together the way they were supposed to.  AND, Dr. Harrell did such a good job sewing her heart that it didn't leak at all.  I don't have any idea how many or how small those stitches are, but when the other doctor drew the diagram, it had over 50 stitches just in one little area.  

2.  A nurse named Gail...she went to work immediately after the "problem" occurred.  Kisa was able to visit with her and tell her that she probably saved Tenlee's life and that she would always be grateful.

3.  Tenlee's heart...it went from being damaged from the CPR to the point of needing to have surgery done again to working right!  Tenlee's kidneys, liver, and heart all started working without the aid of medicine.  Her lungs are getting better by the minute.  Don't you love seeing miracles?!

4.  The power of touch...Tenlee's blood pressure dropped lower than it should have been.  The nurses were about to give her platelets when John, Tenlee's dad, reached over and touched her head.  As he rubbed her head, her blood pressure rose right up to where it should be.  No platelets needed!

5.  And you...what an awesome miracle to behold, the number of people that stopped each day to lift Tenlee in prayer!  We will never know who you are and can never thank you enough.  I know that many of you forwarded our emails and text messages to others so please do that again.  We want you all to know that you will forever hold a special place in our hearts and in Tenlee's new heart!  We love you all,

Jack & Regina Tonn (Pawpaw & Nonna)

Kisa & John Luther (Mom & Dad)

McKenzie & Braydon (sister & brother)

and so many more! 

I just want to thank all of you also.........Prairie Flower Farm has become a place of prayer! Ladies, pray for your sweet men, children, grandchildren, family members, friends, those in government, state..........the list goes on! It is so important that we let the Lord know we need His help. We have just been shown how important it is!  Blessings to all of you for your the time you gave to this precious family! 

Hope you had a good day! Mine was baking for a catering, breakfast, lunch and dinner desserts. Tressa made the "famous" Chocolate Chip Cookie dough Cupcakes recipe. She made over 200........I think they are one of the kids favorites! The day went by fast! For that I am so grateful......I think some of you pray that for us! Smile!

As soon as I got home I ran down to the milk house to check on the Cochin Girlies........I saw 4 eggs IN THE NEW BASKET, the one I bought at Hobby Lobby. Most of the time they lay their eggs in the nest boxes and only one in the basket, but not today! I was so excited! That means at least one of the girlies will sit on some eggs in the basket, which I wanted so bad! 

I went back about an hour later to gather the eggs and feed the babies......another girlie had laid another egg! That was a total of 5 eggs in the basket today! My idea worked to get them at least used to the basket. I can just see babies on top of their Momma's back in the basket. The egg on the far left was soft  and rubbery. A girl is laying eggs for the first time.......she will have a hard one probably next the time. 


Thought I would show you a few of my finds today on Pinterest!

Isn't it so pretty? I found it at V and Co.  Need a sign for Prairie Flower Farm and a Fresh Farm Eggs. Cute cute cute!!!!!  I have lots of farm boards! 

The Old Painted Cottage

Another sweet find!!!!!!! Easy......now to find a square stool! I have the burlap........like the ruffle with the wood showing.

This pin didn't have a place to go back to, but like.......a lot!!!!! 

Can't you see this on the side of a barn or maybe in my Potter's Shed? Just have to cut down some tree limbs and some spindly branches. I have the berries.......I will make.

Victorian Trading Co.


Saw this today on Pinterest.........I am getting!!!!!!!!! I am ordering this tonight.  It is well worth the money! Not even expensive. This will come in sooooo handy. I know that we will not get out of having a cold winter (snow forcast for Thurs, Friday and Saturday). I can hang my clothes on the back porch! Isn't this the cutest thing?? 


Well sweet ladies............I can't wait to see if we are going to get snow. I know they say rain! We will take that also! Just need to see some snow before the winter is up, right?


Hugs and God bless you all!
