Not Quite Spectacular

Mrs. Piecrust: What about the chickens?
CarolineNot: What about the chickens?
Mrs. Piecrust: You haven't said anything about the chickens.
CarolineNot: Well, they're not doing anything spectacular. They're just out there being chickens and laying eggs.

Having sifted through probably upwards of 300 recent CowNot photos and videos (yes, I'm camera-crazed), I'm tired of looking at CowNots. Here's a weensy egg offering we received earlier this month. Son4 apparently decided to do a little work with the camera, himself. I love it when I upload photos and unexpectedly discover what's stricken the fancy of others.

Maybe that little egg is spectacularly unspectacular.

I'm responsible for this photo of our spectacularly ugly little muledeer rabbit papillon, who was trying really hard to be cute, as he lounged with his reindeer. "Oh look. He's trying to be cute. Where's the camera?"

Then Cousin Annie sent me this photo recently, saying, "Yep, the snow's so deep here, it's burying the rabbits alive!" Sort of spectacular representation of Global WarmingNot, which I understand hit the news in a new light this past week. I tried to tell you.
*snort*

Okay, Cousin Annie admitted it's not a real rabbit. Maybe it's spectacular that her photos are often as entertaining to me as the surprises I find on our camera when I upload. Maybe Cousin Annie is a wee bit balmy in the crumpet.

Over and Out

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Hebrews 10:35-37

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. ~Luke 18:16, 17

Kids and Kids

Sharing the Love

Three of my sister's children were here yesterday, and we visited the CowNot babies.

Poor Katie probably ruined her stylish, fabric-clad shoes, slogging around in CowNot ooppay. [The Pig Latin is for you, Kate, since I know you don't like that word in English. 'Sides, I can see and hear you gasping as you read, and that's what it's all about. And they won't be teaching you Pig Latin in college. You need me. You eallyray eednay emay. Love ~ Aunt OprahNot ]

Rikki did some squealing, when Eliza Jane climbed her leg, looking for cookies. Rikki was my Piglet (and I her Aunt Kiki) when she was little, which had nothing to do with any noises she made at the time and everything to do with adoring the wiggly little kid...who now towers over me.

LittleNoMore Larry, a manly-man who instructed me in the proper way to prepare Kraft macaroni and cheese, when he was Little Larry (more than two decades ago), eventually whisked up a kid for a closer look. [shhh...He petted it too. I knew that precious little boy was still beneath the attorney's facade!]

Sharing the love...and the sweet tea...and the good memories.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. ~Isaiah 43:2

Babies All Here Now

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 150:6

praise

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 43:5

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. Psalm 9:1, 2

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Psalm 22:22
