a rare occurance here on Pilgrim's Farm...
is when my husband isn't around to take care of the manly things
so, when one of the plantain trees fell over on the cottage compound fence...
and my husband had duties elsewhere for the day...
I assessed the situation and knew my wimpy woman muscles would come into play
with the tree bringing the fence down to the ground...
and the tree acting as a possible bridge to goatville on the other side...
and my dog, Shadow, with a penchant for chasing goats in a not so playful way...
"who? me?!"
but, who is otherwise great with the chickens...
"you good doggie, you"
well, this couldn't wait for my man to come home to
I did notice a bunch of plantains fell with the tree
grabbing my machete...
I went to the other side of the fence...
and what would have taken my husband to do with about 3 whacks...
took me about 50 whacks
and being careful not to whack the irrigation line to the orchard trees in the process
the plantains are still young but, edible...
and in my next week's post, I'll show you how we eat them green
the job wasn't done after the tree cutting...
the fence had to be pulled back up and that was harder than I first thought
it took some pulling and yanking and by the time I had it back up all the way...
the sweat was running into my eyes
but, there you have it...
a pause in enjoying a mission accomplished
the goats are safer and Shadow is safer
speaking of accomplishment...
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled,
said, I thirst.
And he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true:
and he knoweth that he saith true,
that ye might believe.
For these things were done,
that the scripture should be fulfilled,
A bone of him shall not be broken.
John 19:28,35,36
Jesus Christ's mission when He died on the cross was accomplished in the saving of His people.
May your day or night be accomplished in the grace of God.
