A Quick Rundown

Oh my! I didn't quite mean to disappear from here so quickly after I got back from Gran and Pap's! I'll give you a quick rundown on what's been going on around here since my last post. :)

I got sick Monday with a stomach virus / flu, and was sick the entire day (queasy, chills, achy joints, etc). Whoever heard of curling up in a blanket on the couch in July? I even wore a flannel shirt when I went outside! Anyhow, the next few days I was able to rest and recuperate, and today I'm feeling great! Praise the Lord!! :D

This is a hornet's nest that dropped out from underneath the tarp we had over the log-splitter. It's a pretty good sized one, huh? There were hornets swarming all around it – I guess they couldn't figure out why their home dropped to the ground! :lol: All I can figure is it must've gotten too heavy!

Here's a rather large bullfrog I caught with my new pond net in the Waterhole! This is the first one of this size that I've been able to catch. After I caught him, I also caught another littler one (though I didn't get a picture of him) before I let them go. :) And the rooster there is Jacob.. he was "allowed" out with the hens the other day, and enjoyed himself greatly!

I've moved my entire Scripture Wallpapers project over to my new Scripture graphics blog ~ Thy Word Forever. I figured it would be easier to have everything in one spot. So check that out, and from now on I'll be doing all the Scripture wallpaper requests there. :)

    Dear Mrs. Tammy,

    Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment! :biggrin: I'm so thankful to be back up on my feet! Being sick with the stomach flu (or anything that makes me queasy, for that matter…) is no fun at all!

    I bought some christian books today! I passed a christian bookshop and I’ve been so inspired by you and your family I thought I might give it a read. No KJV (but that’s available on the net already), it was more books about praying and about God. (I’m still pretty confused about the whole issue.)

    Are you scared of hornets or are you fine with them?

    Which is the easiest to catch, small or big frogs?

    Hi Sandra!

    Actually I'm not really scared of any kind of bee ~ though I'm wary of the Japanese hornet (big golden colored hornet… and I mean big). But in general I'm fine with bees. :) (Spiders are an entirely different story though! LOL!)

    I don't think any particular sized frog is going to be easy to catch. :P They're both reasonably hard, but the big ones do tend to float out in the center more ~ where I can hardly reach them!

    Glad to hear that you're feeling better – over here in England the weather is unseasonably cold and wet for July, after a lovely hot May and June. I've really struggled to get warm today!

    That hornet's nest is huge! I'm not a fan of stinging insects, you're braver than I am!

    I love your Scripture wallpapers and graphics, God has clearly blessed you with a real talent there!

    Hi Lacy! I think that making a separate blog for your wallpapers is a great idea. Now everyone can see your wallpapers automatically without clicking a link. Hope you have a blessed day!

    Lacy, I think that's a great idea of your's to make a separate blog for your wallpapers & tags!!
    I'm going to put a link to my blog! It's impossible to choose the best of all your wallpapers, because they are all so beauiful!:biggrin:

    I'm glad you're feeling better! Stomach flu, is really terrible! I'm also glad that my flu is over! It's so nice to be able to be outside after almost inside for two weeks, also because of our weather, I had to stay inside!

    That bull frog is quite big! Have you seen any that are bigger than that one? Don't ask me why, I'm interested in frogs lately! LOL! Nice photo of Jacob! He looks very proud! :lol:
