Our Sabbath

Yesterday at potluck we realised that Paul, Jody, and I all had bright blues on, so we took a picture. 

 After dinner we had whoever wanted to stay and we marked Bibles.  We had a great time together!

Common posts

Ok. I'm sorry all our blogs are about the same, (pictures of cows, calves, lambs, chickens, and horses) but we are calving for the last month and so we haven't  had a lot going on.  So here is another common post.  Sorry!

 It has cooled off some this last week.  It gets below freezing again at night and it doesn't warm up much during the day.

  

 Our chickens are a little unhappy with us right now.....They have been invaded by 5 bottle lambs and 1 bottle calf.  They don't like being disturbed from their sleep when we feed the lambs.

 This is an update on Mom's plants..........You know how I had that post on when she planted them.  Well they are growing nicely.

This picture is random, but I just thought it was funny.  Today when I was washing a load of jeans I realized.  That when I had put all the jeans into the washer all I had left was these items laying there.   :)

Psalm 86:15 NIV

But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness

homemade laundry detergent

My aunt Vicki had brought us some homemade laundry soap a while back with directions how to make more, so today I decided to make a batch!  This stuff cleans really well and it smells soooooooo good. :) 

Here is how you can make your own.

           All you need is:

           1 -  Fels-Naptha soap bar

           1 cup - arm & Hammer super washing soda

           1/2 Cup -  Borax 

 This is all you need to make a batch of laundry soap.

 First you need to grate your fels-naptha soap bar

 Add your 1 cup of Arm & hammer super washing soda

mix in your Borax

 This is the finished product!  for one load of wash you use 

1 1/2 Tbs. of your detergent and if it is a big load or a lot of dirty jeans you can use 2 Tbs.

 These are some big clouds that rolled in this evening and brought some more rain.
