An Evening in the Mountains, Green Beans and Kittens

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Be still and rest in the Lord.
Wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him. 
Psalm 37:7

ANIMAL UPDATES

All six kittens are now living together in the woodpile and both mamma cats take care of them all. The kittens are getting playful now and the kids love playing with them. Five of the kittens have ribbons because they look almost identical and Amanda wanted to be able to tell them apart. She keeps check on them to make sure they aren't getting too tight as they grow.

YARD AND GARDEN

I picked a four gallon bucket full of green beans today and that is only a small part of what's in the garden. I cleaned and snapped them this evening and will process them tomorrow as well as pick more. 

This tree in our back yard is LOADED with little apples this year. Last year there were hardly any. 

OUT AND ABOUT

Yesterday after church, lunch, and naps for the little ones, we went up on the mountain with my sister and her kids and my cousin. Doug and Austin grilled hotdogs and we also had chips, several kinds of fruit, cookies and drinks. It was such a fun evening. 

This evening in the mountains was such a refreshing way to end the weekend and head into a new week.

Opinion Outpost

I have tried a variety of online survey sites and Opinion Outpost has by far been my favorite. While certainly not a way to get rich, I have found it rewarding to earn a little money, whether in the form of Amazon or Citi gift cards or a check. I normally do these surveys during what would otherwise be down time for me - while the kids are happy playing but still need me to supervise or while watching movies with my family.

Many of the surveys offered for me to try I end up not being able to finish because I do not qualify for some reason. But I am able to complete and be rewarded for enough of them to keep me coming back.
