My Day - A Sunny Saturday!

(Looking at one of the pastures)

Today was a lovely day! We went to a friends house for the day (The Heaney's. Some of you from church may know them)! We arrived there in the morning, (around 11). We were waiting for some of them to come back from the pasture, so while I waited, I swung on the swing for a few minutes just drinking in God's beautiful creations, and listening to the birds sing "Glory to God!" :) It was soo peaceful!

It was so nice just to stop for a bit & not think about "life"..


(Looking up the tree the wooden swing was hanging from. Looks prettier in person!)

I was enjoying the peace for several minutes until everyone started coming back from the pasture, & I looked down to THIS!

Yep...Lydia stepped in a fresh cow-pie....ICK!!!  It was time to get back to reality... lol!

After the clean-up of Lydie, we went inside to see the Heaney's new kittens! The kittens were born just a few weeks ago! Here are pics!  (I'm using my phone for pics to they aren't that great.)

Ellie, the mama, & her 5 precious kittens! (one is under the 2 white ones) We (Me, Lydia, Liana, Caley, & 3 of the Heaney boys) sat there for a while just petting them, & naming them! Here are the names we thought of for each kitten.

This is Marty. She is named after Marty (Clerage sp?) Davis from the Love Comes Softly series. :) She is gray with white lips, tummy, & paws.

This is Missy. She is named after Missy Davis (Lehay) from the Love Comes Softly series. She looks like her mama being black & white. She has more white on the back of her neck.

This is Willie, the only boy in the litter. He is named after Willie "Nate" Lehay from the series Love Comes Softly. He has less white on the back of his neck.

This is Snow White. She has gray tips on her ears, & her tail is a light gray color. She looks very similar to Dusty, but has less gray, & her nose area is white.

This is Dusty! I named her Dusty because she looks JUST like my last cat, Dusty who was a creamy white w/ gray on her face, ears, paws, & tail! :) (both are girls!)

 Here is the whole litter together :) Aren't they cute??!?! They are so soft, and fluffy!

Mama cleaning her babies. She is a very good mama cat! She's very protective of her babies, which is good!

After that, we were called to lunch. After lunch we played several (4) rounds of capture the flag! (all 10 of us! (4 Heaneys & 6 Lemays) Well, Liana & Lydia we're just there to be our buddies, but they had fun, too!) We played for hours! I haven't played that hard in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time!! I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow! lol! Good thing it's Sunday, the day of rest! :)

We didn't leave their house (our old place) till about 6:30! We had such a good time. I will miss them when we move!

Have a happy Resurrection day, everyone!

  1. Sounds like you had a wonderful day! The description of your time at your friend's house reminds me of the fun we have in the warmer months at my friend Rachel's house and how we often play running games outside and wear ourselves out! LOL!
    I also know what you mean about it being nice to just sit outside, relax, and soak in God's beautiful creation. ;-) I haven't swung on a swing in ages - I miss it! I like to stand and let the wind blow my hair back, breathe deeply, and close my eyes. It's simply exhilarating (and if you're a writer, inspiring)! :-D

  2. By the way, I almost forgot... (Mention of the newborn kittens made me think of this.) There is the possibility that our kitty Purina might be pregnant! YEAH! Meaning we might be able to finally have some more tame cats around here!!! We'll know within a month I'd say, but we all agree her tummy is definately looking bulgy. ;-)
