Daily Musings on the Hill

Darling Hill is a quiet place with a narrow, welcoming lane. The view from the top is breathtaking and its vistas change many times throughout a day. I hope that you can visit often and enjoy it as much as my dear Husband, family and I do. God has allowed Syd and I to sojourn here until He leads us on to another place of service or until He takes us Home to Heaven. The little cabin He has provided sits alongside Darling Hill Road, nestled in, on a northwest corner.

You Leave 'Em Alone for One Hour!

Hmmmm!

...what have we here?

I went to Mom's to do a load of laundry and this is what Syd came home to.

Only Sturm is tiny enough to fit through the crack, the width that the bathroom door was propped open

It appears that Sturm got in and brought stuff out where Ruger could partake too. Ruger's usually the culprit when it comes to tissues. Obviously it was a tag team job this time, as the bathroom door was only open about 6 inches or so ( :

I came home to two dogs, banished to their beds.
Oh well, at least it wasn't shoes!!

One of our kittens dragged out an entire roll of toilet paper the other day and shredded it. Who would have known that a cat could carry a whole roll but I watched him bring it to the kitchen and later found it shredded.

Aunt Jan's Wild Corner

This is just the kind of recipe that my Aunt Jan would have loved to share with you. I have no doubt that she made syrups from many edible flowers.

Violet Syrup

3 handful of violet heads (remove stems)

Boil 1 1/4 cup of water. Pour over the violet heads and let sit overnight or for up to 18 hours.

Drain the light blue water into a glass pyrex pot.

1 cup white sugar. Add to the violet water.

Bring the sugar water to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Slowly add a very little lemon juice (I do use reconstituted) but do it very slowly. The more you add, the PINKER it gets. Just a small amount will bring the violet purple hue. Too much will get "bubble gum" pink. (I did add a little too much this time).

Allow it to come to a light, rolling boil and allow to boil (stirring) for at least two minutes, three minutes is better.

Immediately pour into clean glass jars. Enjoy!

The Reason For This Blog

The number one reason is stated above...to declare what God has done for my soul! Sometimes we can sit and chat with other ladies about our wonderful Lord Jesus, but time limits and distractions do not often allow those intimate times. Why life must be so harried, it's hard to say. Many have children, jobs keep us running in opposite directions, life in general is fast-paced these days. Even at church we are scurrying after children, getting lunch, practicing for special music, cleaning up, etc. Sadly, even when we do talk to one another it is often about worldly pursuits, funny stories, our week-happenings (nothing wrong with these subjects); not as often about the things that the Lord has been teaching us. This blog started out to bless the Lord for His greatness and to simply share my heart concerning these things; first to my Christian sisters (and brothers, if they read, and their families) who I go to church with and those who live in other towns, states and other countries. Secondly, to keep in touch with a friend who was moving out of state. It is also something that I wanted to leave with my nieces and grand-nieces, to my husband and to my friends. When you read a blog that shares truth from God's Word and the way God is using it on a day by day basis, it does serve to be in touch with the writer's very heart. I'm happy to think that if I go to be with the Lord, perhaps today, that I had unashamedly declared God's working within and that there will be parts of my heart left here that people can read and relate to, things that reflect upon my wonderful Lord Jesus. On a daily basis I want the things written here to point others to God, to Jesus Christ, our Creator. Because of our great Savior, we can say with the Psalmist, "My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord." Psalm 26:12 and "My tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long." Psalm 35:28

Some Special Prayer Requests

'Free Course' -a newsletter from our local church, has been sent out to approximately 4000 people, covering several communities. We pray for hearts, open to receive the salvation message of God's Word.

Local church pastors, as they uphold the Word of God, spread the gospel to the unsaved and disciple the believers.

Local church members, as we grow together in unity, showing the love of God to one another and that it spill out in our testimony to the unsaved. That all Christians will be obedient to the Scriptures and not cause anyone to stumble.
