Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden in his new book.
And through this week, Biden’s string remains unbroken.
Got that right.

During the time that Elvis and I shared on planet earth, I was NOT anti-Elvis, but I was very “not at all interested” in him or his music. I think it was because of the awful Elvis movies that they kept pumping out and playing on my local TV stations (back in the day when “we only had 4 TV stations)?
I’ve changed my tune over the years – the man could REALLY sing!
Horns kinda sound like Kazoos (on my PC)
Elvis Presley – Burning Love (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)
Elvis Presley – Suspicious Minds (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)
For those looking for a sound upgrade:
Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System (they do Velcro easily to top of an HDTV 45″ monitor I currently use for internet things)
Tho it looks like are now only available used, my 20+ year old ones had 1 speaker start buzzing and I needed to replace.
New set of these were too expensive (guess since they were getting scarce discontinued) so I bought another set of:
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black)
(got these on my big screen to replace the Bose’s there and swapped out to this screen instead when I built this system during Wuflu.
currently only 114 bucks and was less than the Bose set a few months ago.
Had a pair of these only 5.1’s … also 20 ish years ago that I paid 400 bucks for, still worked great but got zapped in a lightning strike that took out a week old HDTV too in 2011, since they were cheaper than the Bose and have a base module, sprung for them instead.
Warning, these (Klipsch) will wake people up but you can turn down the bass on the pod to exclude bass volume as desired.
Note: My personal advise only as a long time user of these two multimedia systems after going thru lots of Logitech and other cheapie systems.
I gotta hunka, hunka burning love for my country as I watch the charred ashes of the Constitution scatter at my feet.

If you haven’t quite had enough bad news for America stuck in your craw, check out Matt Gaetz questioning the army secretary regarding our troops in Niger. It’ll turn your stomach.
The airhead can’t answer one question about: why they are essentially stranded, haven’t been supplied medications since May, aren’t receiving their mail, are lacking supplies of fresh water, and are not being rotated out.
Beyond Disgusting 😤
And yet, those pompous you know what’s are dancing about with Ukraine flags! Grrrrrrr
Corny…how funny…I’ve just posted information about this on the Presidential Thread, page two. I won’t repost. I’ve left a link and a tweet which explains how we can chalk up another State Department failure to this absurd, grotesque administration’s inept execution of foreign policy. What a hideous mess.
Oh Bets,
Thank you. I haven’t conquered linking – heck, I’m still floundering around in posting photos! 🙃
I found a word that applies to, I think, us both.
Nighthawk: a recurring thought that only seems to strike you late at night – an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming future event.
One of the reasons why I am a committed insomniac!
IMO He was the best from the start and still is.
Feisty
Great observation: the movies – meh, but the music is moving in many ways.
I have several Elvis cds (hey, your lucky I didn’t say cassettes or 8 tracks!) that I play when I need revving! And……Elvis was a patriot.
God Morning to everyone in our beautiful Tree 🙏🏻
Ave Verum Corpus
By the Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins
Sung by two of the most beautiful voices I know, Sir Bryn Terfel and (I’m sure one day Sir) Simon Keenlyside
You are never so tall than when you stoop down to help another. 💕🕊
awwwwww
Just, “Wow!”
God Mornin’ Bets
They teach us so much – if we would only listen.
God morning, sis. Oh yes they do! What a sweet photo 💕💕💕!!!
I’ve said often ad nauseam how we simply do not know a fraction about animals of any species…
I watched a small video the other day which I simply cannot get out of my mind…
A heron (like the one which depleted our small pond in Wales of all the Koi we had it stocked with, one by one 😭) was wading in shallow waters.
Behind him was a sizeable fish which had gotten itself stuck and was floundering, trying to get itself into maneuverable, deeper waters, but couldn’t.
This heron finally caught sight of him and approached. Well, I thought, this chap is going to have a meal fit for a king!!
But what did it do??
It got hold of the distressed fish in its mouth and carried it to those sought after deeper waters, dropped it, and the fish swam away. A rescue mission!!
I am seeing more and more of these types of interactions between animals and birds which I can describe only as humanlike. How to explain them???
I simply can’t.
Only the arrogance of man thinks we know all there is to know. And yes, listening and watching teaches how foolish we are to believe that we do.
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
Hear you on the koi. We used to have koi in a stock tank, just for fun. Had them a few years, with no problems – even our kitties and dogs left them alone.
One day, blue heron, who migrate to an area in Wilcox AZ each winter, swooped in for a snack. Picked clean in 20 seconds. I wouldn’t have known what happened to them, had I not witnessed it.
I always marvel at the wild animals who will bring their baby who needs help to a human. What desperation that must be.
Might be the same one that got ours, the cheeky sod. I was horrified. Came home from shopping, opened the top half of our Dutch door,caught a glimpse and carried through to the kitchen…before a split second later I realized why he was there halfway up the huge garden behind our house. He took one, flew off. I fashioned a poor man’s scarecrow out of a ladder and placed it up on the pond’s edge and hoped for the best which never happened. We lived rurally, so I wasn’t surprised. Mighty disappointed though.
It is so touching to see an animal ignore their maternal protective wariness of humans in order to get help for a distressed offspring, girl. I’ve seen videos of that as well. I don’t watch but a few. KY heart can stand only so much…
For you, dear friend…
Oooh, this guy makes me just want to snuggle up with him. We need a name for the little tyke! Perhaps Snuggles!
I leave that to you😁. You are so good with names 💕
Works for me 👍🏻
How about burrito?
God morning💞
God morning,.Miss P and Ma 🕊🙏🏻🕊
Care to sit a spell??
We can bring in more chairs you know.

I’ll bring muffins and nuts
Ever thoughtful thinking of all the guests, human or otherwise…that’s you!! 🤗
Hey! Some dude just fell out of the sky. Let’s go eat him!
‘They wouldn’t just eat any white men that fell from the sky’: Outraged Papua New Guinea academics lash out at Biden’s ‘unacceptable’ suggestion that cannibals ate his WW2 pilot uncle
Outraged Papua New Guinea academics have slammed President Joe Biden for his ‘unacceptable’ suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the country after his plane was shot down during World War II.
Biden implied on two occasions Wednesday that his maternal uncle 2nd Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan had met a grisly end at the hands of cannibals after his plane was shot down by the enemy over New Guinea in 1944.
Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, told The Guardian cannibalism was previously practiced by some communities in very specific contexts and that locals ‘wouldn’t just eat any white men that fell from the sky’.
Kabuni argued that the Melanesian people, which includes the those from Papua New Guinea, are ‘very proud’ and would be offended by Biden’s generalization of cannibalism.
‘But taking it out of context, and implying that your [uncle] jumps out of the plane and somehow we think it’s a good meal is unacceptable,’ he added.

Feisty,
If only we had a late night Saturday “comedy” show that satirized ridiculousness from politicians, I’m sure this story would headline/

Cowboys gonna cowboy.
Gotta be the hat!
I got 90 days in Facebook jail for posting this picture
All hat and ONE cattle.

Little cowpoke forgot his chaps!
Hat tip to Sundance and crew for the photo!
That and procrastination. Lol
For me, it’s not quite morning, so….
God certainly enjoying making art.
Yes!
A heavenly Painter’s palette.
For sure! Thank you, Betsy for all of your great posts.
It truly is my pleasure, Pms😌🕊
Bets, or any Treeper who might know:
Did there used to be a day (similar to Cursday or Caturday) that was dedicated to horses and other equids? Possibly on Monday?
I seem to remember this, but it’s possible it’s merely a figment of my imagination! 😛
Not specifically, but our missing Treeper Patty who lives in Porterville, CA (I think) used to regale us with the most beautiful pictures and videos. She is one who I offer prayers for as well as other missing friends.
Christmas was the last time we saw her, Corny. Then nothing like so many of our family. Worrying.
I keep a mental list that I don’t want to put any name on…too many already https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f64f-1f3fb.svg https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f495.svg
Betsy, has it been since Christmas since patty in porterville posted? Oh my gosh
Check out the prayer thread, slow. She’s right on top from April but I didn’t do a search to see if there’s something more recent.
Patty posted on the prayer thread, Betsy. I didn’t do a search to see how many times… but certainly so in April.
She’s near and dear.
I imagine some posters must pull back from time to time to manage life or when content becomes too frustrating.
I have had to be a bit more ginger about the Prayer Thread… I could spend hours there and it’s hard for me not to want to comment on every single one… but much of what I could say has been said eloquently by others. A simple UP vote can be enough to pray in unity.
I’ll sub for patty 😊💕
Betsy, I love this! Spent some time in a “former life” painting – this is indeed a magnificent palette. 🎨 🌠 💫
Isn’t it mesmerizing???? I have no special talents but my 16 year old granddaughter somewhere, somehow developed an incredible talent for art. An astounding ability. And she gets so much pleasure from it. I can well imagine you did, too.
At 11 she produced a pencil sketch of the cat we had at the time. We’ve framed it. It could be a photograph so perfect is every detail of his exact likeness.
Chris himself is a remarkable artist. He is on a site called Watercolour Beginners which showcases efforts of artists who want to post their work for critique, mentoring or just because. You should see some of the works of uber talented artists out there using all mediums. Breathtaking!
On my way to look see!
Israel Update:
-The House approved an Aide package for Israel along with others.
Unlike the false PR on some media that it’s 26 Billions for Israel and 60 Billions for the Ukraine. The truth is that it’s 17 Billion for Israel possibly some less and over 9 Billions for the Palestinians (enemies of Israel). The 17 Billions are not free to use but are mostly for purchasing weapons and munitions from the US. Some for developments that are usually a collaboration or open access technology for the US.
At the same day it is published that Blinken is about to pose sanctions on an IDF Battalion for the first time in history.
You heard right. Sanctions not on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, it’s on the battalion called “Eternal Judea” that is consisting of ultra-orthodox Jews who serve mainly in the West Bank and also took some casualties in Gaza. I guess long ago, before the war, there were two incidents. One old Palestinian man died when he was arrested and one an abuse of a suspect. The sanctions is another step after targeting settlers in the area. They are all religious people. This is not by mistake. They know that religious people believe in the Nation of Israel in its biblical borders, ie. Are against a Palestinian State. I don’t know what came out of the investigation but as a whole those are very good people. One doesnt just punish without a full investigation and results. There is an organization who is complaining to the State Department. There are people in that organization who praised 10/7. I forgot the name.
They will not be permitted to use US weapons, to participate in mutual drills with the US, etc…
We do need the aide but one should see the whole picture.
Parliament Member Tally Gotlib said: “…The US is stepping on us with sophistication, slap and caress, slap and caress, I refuse to be a beaten nation”.
Many strong statements from Parliament members across the political spectrum who basically saying that “in a time that the IDF is fighting for the existence of Israel this is insane and a support to the enemies of Israel.”
Bibi came out with a statement and said “he will do whatever he can to prevent it.”
He said that “sanctions on an IDF unit is an absurd and a lowest moral depravity”.
While Jews in the Judea and Samaria area are a constant target of terrorism and many are murdered every year and they also have the highest % of casualties in the war in Gaza (those people are patriots and serve in combat units) Blinken and his people are constantly targeting them and now the IDF.
I wish I could just cheer about the aide without the additives, but I can’t wish anything good upon the Biden’s Administration. From a religious perspective they are playing with fire.
They are about to punish “the defenders of the holy land of Israel”. In prophesies the whole world turns against Israel before…. I hope this is not what we are witnessing, I am just a simple person who want to be back to a better situation.
Blinken specifically is the head of this. The fact that he is Jewish makes it even worse.
I don’t know what were the incidents in detail, they probably got their punishments internally and I am sure they didn’t intend to kill anyone unarmed. This battalion is the only
Ultra Orthodox battalion in the IDF. Those are people who pray to God a few times a day, they don’t mix genders, they do their duty with the belief that they are serving God.
You can debate if American tax money should go for any foreign aide when the US itself needs money. You can debate if Israel should get anything. I have a feeling that most Americans understand that Israel is a friend under attack on 7 fronts. But I doubt that the tax payer wants to pay 9 billions for Gaza aide, people who cheer about 10/7 and cheered about 9/11, who hate the US, people who have on their side some of the richest Arab nations in the world who can afford to help them. Trump would have squeezed those funds out of Saudi, Qatar, etc… if he even cared.
This is the end of my rant. I don’t like to rant but things have to be mentioned as they are.
I will pray for the Administration to get back to their senses of right and wrong and stand with Israel. May protect America and Israel from internal and external enemies, overt and covert. Amen.
David, I just saw elsewhere that $9.1 billion is earmarked for Gaza and the West Bank. For Hamas in other words.
I am incandescent! But this is who these people are. They are liars, cheaters, reprehensible grifters who, I am willing to bet, will somehow get their cut once the money we don’t have which is pushing further into a hole we will never get out of is laundered. I hope you read the threads Sundance posted yesterday, and the comments. I said once upon a time to you Biden (and all Democrats) was not Israel’s friend. Here is proof positive of the accuracy of where their allegiances lie.
Please do not apologize for your righteous rant. We are screaming as loudly as you are, dear friend.
Thank you Betsy, I have a very high admiration for your truthfulness.
Sometimes, when the world is mad, your most valuable asset is a friend who understands you.
You’re that friend!
God Bless you, your family and Nation!
It is mad. Geed up by a cabal who are mad themselves who rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.
Thank you for thinking of me as your friend, for I am most assuredly. With great affection, B 💕🙏🏻
The illegitimate JoBama regime does know right from wrong.
As always, failure is their goal.
Thank you for taking the time to show the additives. This information puts a clearer perspective since the mainstream news business no longer dares to dip inside the details of things.
On the Blinken idea to levy sanctions on a simple battalion, do hope people keep in mind that is how the theft of private property of Russian citizens became acceptable to confiscate as the downstream from the initial FJB calls for sanctions against Russia for its incursion into Ukraine – so hopefully those battalion members, and their families and associates, have their assets hard to find against whatever agency decides it has the okay to start sanctioning them because of whatever that battalion is supposedly ‘guilty’ of.
Prayers and blessings as you prepare to celebrate, remember, honor Passover.
Thank you. The sanctions on the battalion didn’t yet happen. The reaction in Israel is wild. We love our military and protect them.
Everyone is fighting it from coalition to opposition. Hopefully it will turn.
.
David, the news might not have reached your part of the world so I will leave a link.
A more odious administration has never existed than the one we are ruled by. satan’s short time, and he has his acolytes in place.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-sanction-entire-idf-battalion-over-alleged-human-rights-abuses
“Human Rights Abuses” against Palestinians!!!!!!
But not a word about condemning the atrocities of October 7…
They have a few incidents from years ago in a zone of constant friction, terror and violence. It’s not a lot and people involved were detained, officers lost their ranks. See above answer that I posted for you.
Thank you friend. I read it. I have a problem with the accuracy of it because it’s mostly based on Axios which is quoted. Axios is left wing and as such they are using terminology and information of the DNC narrative.
The first thing that got my attention is the use of the term “radical right wing” in association to this battalion.
By this definition Steve Bannon is “Radical right wing” and probably Donald Trump too and certainly The Last Refuge would get this label.
1. This battalion is made of mainly ultra-religious people who are not “the settlers” the “Hilltop setllers”. And even the Hiltop Setleres are simply people who believe in God mission of settling on all of Israel’s lands per the Bible. The West Bank is their target. When their people are murdered they sometimes would react with violence like burning cars of the people from where the attack came from or having some fist fights when they just had a man murdered from their community. So Biden has been targeting them with sanctions etc… but they are not the people of the Battalion that is mentioned. There could be exceptions but not as a general rule. The Ultra-orthodox are those who usually dress in black suits and hats. They are a different faction of society that is typically not settlers.
2. This battalion was moved from the West Bank in the past year and a half to reduce friction with Palestinians.
This tells you that the IDF is handling the complaints and the US has no place intervening. We have a good system internally. They may have been sent in for some operations now that there is war but they are no longer based there.
3. When they were in the West Bank there are years of frictions with Palestinians. Palestinians throw rocks at them, they spit on them, swear at them. Shove cameras in their faces and they also lost people when attacked. The few incidents that did occure are magnified intentionally.
So I looked into it and in all those years there are a couple of incidents that are the main reason for the sanctions.
-In 2019 five soldiers beat captured Palestinians hard. The IDF arrested the soldiers. Four were dismissed from the battalion, the officer was convicted and his ranks were canceled and he was back to the lowest rank. I guess that something triggered it but there is no excuse.
-In 2022 again there was a beating incident. I don’t have the information of how it was handled.
-In 2022 a Palestinian dual citizen (US) elderly was arrested and was dumped somewhere in the cold. He died later from a heart attack. Palestians try to say that he died from beatings when arrested but this was denied on the Israeli side. Israel did investigation and the Chief of Staff himself intervened and the finding was that the handling of the man was abusive. Israel apologized and paid compensation to the family. The involved were detained and later the officers were removed for any position of command for number of years.
The US has looked into it and used reports from Human Right Organizations which in Israel are all Radical Left Soros sponsored or in this case Palestinians who some I know praised the 10/7 attack.
On the other side we have regular terror attacks from soldiers of the Palestinian Authority with casualties and I can count a few sniper attacks in the past month or so and more. The State Department wouldn’t sanction them. On the other hand they sponsor them and want them to rule Gaza and have a state.
4. “Daily atrocities in Gaza” is false. This is a war zone and there are civilians killed like any war. The ratio of Civilian versus combatant dead is lower than the US in Iraq in urban areas. When the target is terrorists and unfortunately uninvolved die it’s not under the term “atrocity” . What was atrocity was 10/7 when intentionally raped , burned, kidnapped, beheaded and tortured civilians and others. That was “atrocities”.
So this is all a State Department working with enemies of Israel against Israel. This is nothing to do with Human Rights. If they cared of Human rights they would deal with the daily terror that are happening under the Palestians Authority. Those settlers are under some insane quantity of attempted murders that sometimes succeed.
Shalom and take care.
God bless you friend.
This is an introduction to a very special video that I translated for you. It’s short and it touched my heart. A while ago I mentioned my most loved and admired Unit in Israel.
In the last hostage rescue in Gaza, of all the many special forces units they were chosen to get it done and they delivered flawlessly. They are called the YAMAM (Hebrew acronym for “Special Central Unit”).
They are a Border Police Unit so they also do SWAT missions but they were originally founded for hostage rescue with capabilities that are higher than the IDF in this field.
It’s a small elite unit. On 10/7 they were amongst the first to arrive and a few of them alone killed 200 terrorists in many locations from rescuing female soldiers who were about to be burned alive, to a Police Station which was taken hostage after many killed with some 10 terrorists heavily armed and snipers etc… which they rescued the captive hostages after killing all the terrorist, to the release of whatever was left of the Kibutz Beeri that was massacred. They stopped the thousands of terrorists from getting deeper into major cities as they planned and tried. They lost 9 soldiers on that day and had some 16 injured. Quite a few got shot in the legs or hands and stopped the blood and kept fighting. I know some were hospitalized and immediately came back to fight the same day.
To be in that Unit you have to already be a retired Infantry or usually Special Forces soldier and then it only begins with a crazy selection that few make it out of thousands.
The YAMAM is sent to all the major confrontations where we know we are dealing with killers who want to do more harm. They usually come alive and the terrorists don’t.
They serve many years and come to a level that you can’t achieve with a simple 3 years of a mandatory service.
The first link is my translated video. The second is an old famous video that presents them.
Those people are legends and heroes. They are on daily missions for years in the worst places. When you have a family, it’s a tough decision to make, to stay and serve like that.
This is our Treehouse Sunday benediction. For some of us, the week has been fraught, for others there has been solace. I wish I could share the latter but, having had a couple of hard falls in the same week, I now welcome the end of a particularly hard time and the beginning of, one hopes, a better time.
Solace in one’s life is important. It’s absence is keenly felt. So, when I post our customary benediction, it is always with the hope and conviction that our Good Lord’s Love and Trust in us well see us through. Please know if you accept and know our dear Lord, his support and love will always be there.
But, what if you are unsure, what if you find the whole idea of admitting faith in a Supreme being just a bit over the top? Lots of people have this kind of dilemma. My solution is quite simple. Speak to our Lord as you would a close friend—that’s always been my approach. If you have doubts, tell him, knowing full-well that he hears you.
The bottom line? Give our lord a chance and he’ll come to you. You don’t even have to tell anyone else if you don’t want to. It’ll just be you and Him.
The most personal relationship we will ever have, dear Garrison. I pray mightily for the solace you’ve received to be magnified many times over. Try to get some rest if you can. Sleep is nature’s sweet restorer you know. Hoping so much the pain you’re having to endure lessens day by day. His blessings and healing I pray for you always, dear friend 🙏🏻💕
And thank you for those gorgeous voices. Stanford wrote some of the most beautiful music I know. I believe if he could hear these young men and women perform his work, he would weep with joy.
Your kind words are so very much appreciated, Bet. Thank you, love. 🙂
From my heart, wonderful friend 💕😘
Thank you. ❤️
Thank you, David. You are a good man. 🙂
Praying for you, Garrison. I really appreciate your contributions here in this special place! 🌳🏡❤️
Thank you, dear Lorrie. 🙂
Thank you for sharing, Garrison. I’m sure many prayers will hold you up in your greatest need.
I like your name!
Like, “I like your name” . . . 🙂
Good day to you Garrison and thank you for the lovely music. Prayers for
your healing. Peace
Thank you, Light . . . 🙂

I am sitting in my little orchard with my burros and doggies listening – church.
Wouldn’t be complete without JS.
Many thanks. 🙏
Garrison
Would it be possible to post, “Sheep May Safely Graze,” some Sunday? I’m watching Louisa and May graze on weeds and fallen leaves in the orchard, but they suddenly bolted for my little immature tender apricots that are trying to make it to my table! Out they go- the birds will do enough damage.
Thought about doing that last night, in fact. Next time, I
promise 🙂
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😊
Pastoral bliss! 🙂
Yes, when I tire of the mundane “scut” work, I retreat there. We keep the burros out because they will eat trees to the nub – no kidding. But, if we supervise, they stay a while till temptation wins!
Who is the imposter?
Neither.
The horse head cyclone fence post finial is from Kim’s childhood backyard fence. A cherished part of her past that displays prominently in our present.
The brown thrasher? Stopped by for a seed or two. Living a best life just like us.
Both are legit!
A handsome piece, ERROR. Your visitor is not bad either😉💕
Missing Colkitto, our beloved friend and fellow bird lover, who has been absent for some little while now. I know he’d enjoy your gorgeous photograph as much as I do.
Little things that have sentimental value are our treasures. A piece here and there that takes us back in time for a minute. Makes tomorrow worth the fight!
I’m hoping Colkitto is on break for bit and will return. Moved off the front line for a little R&R.

Sleep tight!
Good choice, 402. 🙂
Don’t miss this one. It’s inspiring. It gives you access to the heart and soul of some of the greatest soldiers in the world. Today I am in a “heroes mood”. This is an extreme heroism told by the man himself.
He is a warrior of the LOTAR Unit. (Those are acronyms for “School for Counter Terror Combat”).
It’s the only school in the IDF that teaches all the special forces and Infantry about how to fight terror.
I know some Marines also got trained in this school.
The Instructors are also functioning as a combat Unit when needed and on 10/7 they were called in.
Note: “Kiddush” means the special prayer of the Sabbath (Saturday).
The translation is a bit fast but you still can get it.
So dear that he stayed with the young girl until she went to sleep, and then came back to give her a hug.
I’m so proud of these young men. What satanic minds are at work who could loathe such dear people. If anyone deserves to give a speech to congress it should be men like this with such stories of the horrors they saw, and the bravery they encountered stopping it all!!
DD
I agree. I have some horror stories from people on the ground. I have largely avoided sharing because it’s like horror movies and worse. But I have access to it. Some is on my YouTube channel.
One more to soothe the weary soul.
🙂
Treehouse is for the birds today — most pleasantly!

Error,
You are a most amazing photographer! Suffice to say, I am not at all adept, but if you look closely you can see some of our new hummers!
Little guys must be tiny!
We’ll get our hummer soon. Seems we always get a bully that’s very protective of his territory.
Never had a nest that I’ve seen. They’re a lot of fun to feed and watch!!
I keep my camera on AUTO setting 95% of the time.
NIKON knows much better than me how to take a picture :p
I have to say our birds provide the beauty. I just push the shutter button.
Glad to see you’ve mastered photo posting!!
Keep ’em coming!
You are too kind. Our property is very close to a preserve in the mountains that is known for its hummingbirds and we are the lucky recipients.
Some winter here on our property, possibly 20 or so, but, by summer there are hundreds! I refill 8 feeders every day. If it weren’t for the fruit bats emptying them every night, the task would be easier!
Keep Your beautiful photos coming, please!
Polk Salad Annie
Pretty sure it should be “Poke” from Pokeweed? But, whatever….
Yes and one better know what one is doing. Pokeweed is poisonous in later growth stages. There are better wild “greens” to harvest.
Poke salad in a poke? (bag or sack) Poke is a very old word for a sack in Scotland and other places.
Right you are…

Is that top photo really prince?
never saw him with big hair… wow!
really changed his look when he greased it kinda down and flatter. I think his face got a lot thinner, too.
I think he had a little Michael Jackson syndrome once he got money but according to discogs, that’s him, the only pic they have of him too (on his full name Prince Rogers Nelson).
Here is another obscure one sans fro:
Note the same mole on center of left side of nose/ear.
Wow. This photo is morphing more into the prince I recognize, haha.
just like (someone’s) video posting last week of the hairdresser doing the hair make-overs, it’s amazing how hairstyle can be an identifier.
p.s. MMW, I should’ve clarified that my question is that really him wasn’t directed at your accuracy, but more a rhetorical wow is that really him because his hair and face looked different. So I hope you dont think I was doubting you :). Thanks for the second photo for comparison!
Wand: Prince was a musical genius.

Try finding any of his work in public school libraries. There is a denial of context and an erasure of the past. IMO this censorship is an attempt to expunge history. Good, bad, or indifferent – history should not be denied.

A very well known prayer in Israel. Powerful. For difficult times. By Sarit Hadad three months ago. It communicates very well how we feel in Israel now days. Translated.
David! That is so powerful and moving. My heart resonates with the words. A quiet and often very loud cry from the soul to God for righteousness to return.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. – Galatians 5:22-23
In a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to George Washington, he said, “Agriculture is our wisest pursuit because it will in the end contribute the most to real wealth, good morals and happiness.” On another occasion, Jefferson would say that “Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens.”
If you visit Monticello, Jefferson’s home in Central Virginia, you will have the opportunity to walk among the grounds and gardens. In addition to being a political figure, Jefferson would say he was a farmer. His journals recall the way he studied how things grow, including flowering plants, orchards, and vegetables.
He knew that no matter how well he applied science to farming or gardening, the results were in God’s hands.
In the life of the Christ follower, the Holy Spirit is a “gentleman farmer.” It is He who produces fruit in the life of a believer. The listing in today’s passage is a good checklist for your spiritual produce department. The seeds of your fruit-bearing were planted at the time of your salvation.
Growth happens as you live out your sanctification—becoming more like Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you. As you grow in Christ, fruit matures. For some, it may take longer than for others.
In Jesus’ lesson on the vine and the branches, He reminds you that fruit is the result of you abiding in Him.
Theologian John Piper says, “It’s trusting in Jesus, remaining in fellowship with Jesus, connecting to Jesus, so that all that God is for us in Him is flowing like a life-giving sap into our lives. That’s number one: abiding is believing, trusting, savoring, resting, receiving.”
Keep in step with the Lord and His Holy Spirit for a bountiful and fruit-filled life that will persuade others to want to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Galatians 5:5, Psalm 34:8).

NOW DON’T HURT THE LORD!
“Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip?” John xiv. 9
Our Lord must be repeatedly astounded at us – astounded at how un-simple we are. It is opinions of our own which make us stupid, when we are simple we are never stupid, we discern all the time. Philip expected the revelation of a tremendous mystery, but not in the One Whom he knew. The mystery of God is not in what is going to be, it is now; we look for it presently, in some cataclysmic event. We have no reluctance in obeying Jesus, but it is probable that we are hurting Him by the questions we ask. “Lord, show us the Father.” His answer comes straight back – “There He is, always here or nowhere.” We look for God to manifest Himself to His children: God only manifest Himself IN His children. Other people see the manifestation, the child of God does not. We want to be conscious of God; we cannot be conscious of our consciousness and remain sane. If we are asking God to give us experiences, or if conscious experience is in the road, we hurt the Lord. The very questions we ask hurt Jesus because they are not the questions of a child.
“Let not your heart be troubled” – then am I hurting Jesus by allowing my heart to be troubled? If I believe the character of Jesus, am I living up to my belief? Am I allowing anything to perturb my heart, any morbid questions to come in? I have to get to the implicit relationship that takes everything as it comes from Him. God never guides presently, but always now. Realize that the Lord is here NOW, and the emancipation is immediate.

“…I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.”
Psalms 9:1 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
SERVANT OF ALL
Who is the greatest boxer of all time?
Who bragged he was a superstar so sublime?
Who was the runner who outran the rest?
Who clocked in his time as the very best?
Who was the richest man recently noted?
Who had wealth so vast – ego so bloated?
Who was the most famous movie star of all?
Pardon me – please – I really cannot recall!
When will the first be the last you ask?
For many are called and taken to task;
Who are the few that are chosen to be?
Elevated by God – for eternity!
It is the man with a humble, contrite heart;
Who repents of his sin from the very start;
His head hung in sorrow – he fervently pleads;
He knows it’s forgiveness – he surely needs!
He who gives thanks for blessings each day;
Is well aware of what Father would say;
If he took the choicest in life as his own;
Shared neither his wealth nor what he had sown!
If each seat taken was the best in the house;
First and foremost – and forever the louse;
Would his mansion in Heaven be the best?
Or would the fiery furnace be eternal rest?
Are we like the man who was hung on the tree?
Are we poor, humble, and as kind as He?
Compassionate, loving, and caring toward all?
Gentle, long-suffering – virtually – on call?
Do we look for attention at every turn?
Is it fame and fortune for which we yearn?
Do we take the first seat or sit in the last?
Are we meek and humble – securely steadfast?
The greatest of all is not one who’s achieved;
The best and the brightest are not conceived;
It’s the few who – among many – He will call;
The greatest will be the servant of all!

God is kind to speak to us through His creation – in addition to His written Word.
Whatever you’re facing today, remember that the sun came up this morning.
And it will set this evening – because the Lord is faithful and good.
He is in control of all things, and He loves us.
God will see you through – no matter what!
“The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.”

Back to the future
From Walmart employee,
for security reason ( thefts),
the self operated, automatic scanner checkout computers / cameras
are
going to be
replaced
with
employees doing the scanning, receiving the payment, giving the receipt ( like it used to be ).
Back, to the future ( when things, and people, worked together and cross checked )
I said,
is someone going to take out the election computer machines too – and replace with ballots and people counting the votes ( and checking the count )? ; )
[ and yes, people are also working in that direction too ]
p.s.
In another State,
traffic cameras ( computers ) and their fines, are not mindlessly, or greedingly placed, so as to avoid
– excessive fines
and
– unfair adjudication ( lack of due process …innocent unless proven guilty… and a computer, and its software can be rigged to harm the people – without people, the harmed, being informed).
Love thy neighbors

There are many dormant patriots in America.
Most are not dormant on purpose, it just slowly happened as they became busy with “life” things.
I have used a technique to try to “activate” their patriotism that is simple to do.
I initially purchased 30 inexpensive American Flag Lapel Pins and carried a few with me when I traveled around the community and state.
Whenever I finished dealing with an employee at a business, the last thing I would do is reach into my pocket and pull out a pin and offer it to the person. All of them have happily accepted the pin. I’d mention something about Memorial Day and the 4th of July coming up and you never have enough flags.
MAGA’s area of operation is at the state / local level. The federal level is a waste of time and resources. This is just an idea that can be utilized at the local level. It is stirring up their spirit of patriotism ….. using the flag as the catalyst.
The flag can trigger some long buried patriotic spirits from their past. I never mention politics unless they bring it up.
The take away idea is that Patriots will be voting for President Trump, non-patriots won’t.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
Excellent idea!
As I have previously alluded to on various threads here on CTH concerning the demise of the Federal Reserve,
Make no mistake, ALL debts will be settled.
And the settlement date draws nigh.
And there’s not a damn thing anyone on the face of the Earth can do about it. H/T Billy Jack.
Like separating the wheat(In God We Trust), from the chaff(In Govt they trust), only The People have the power, through consent, to grant ANY entity their full faith and credit.
And whenever any form of Government/entity becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of The People to alter or abolish it and institute new Government most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Congress was granted the consent to coin money, AND regulate the Value thereof. Utter failure.
The necessity of a free market in capital creation is essential to a Life of Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Truth be told, Our debts were paid a couple thousand years ago.
Trust God. Fear not.
God morning, Treeper pals.
Corny and Garrison!
Guess who changed her mind? The owners reached out to me and asked us to reconsider.
After Timmy’s good behavior with the neighbor’s hunting dogs… we are giving it a shot.
Savannah is over the moon in love and the boy kittahs are behaving. Baby gates up!
Meet our “Rosie” girl 🐶 🐕 ❤️
She’s just a wee little thing and has been just as calm and sweet as can be.
WOO WOO, Woo!
You said you had a surprise, and WooDoggy did you?!!! I’m so happy for you, Savanah, and Rosie that I’m doing that laughy/cry thing!
And, what a beauty she is!!! How lucky we all are to be in on her puppyhood and what is surely to become (better be!) the Rosie chronicles.
👏 🍾 🎆 💐
It is not hyperbole to say that this happy news has helped many of of us in the Treehouse feel a little lighter today – given the weight of the dreck the news presents to us.
Hi Corny!!!
Completely serendipitous. I really had remorse saying no to her the first time. Was relieved not to be bringing trouble for Timmy the older cat, but something in me ached.
When the owners reached out again yesterday… they just had “the feeling” she should be with us.
Our young gentlemen at our Petco will love her. I have so much gear, it’s like having a toddler again.
The kitty boys are mastering the baby gates like gazelles and she’s quiet as a mouse… for now.
She has her Lamb Chop plushie and her teething ring. Going to put a little vest on her under her harness and take her outside. It’s a bit cool today but bright and sunny.
Those eyes! Those ears! Those eyebrows! 😃 😀 🐕 🐶 ❤️ 😍
Lucky Rosie…….and lucky you!
Our neighbor said she’s going to have to grow into her ears. She’s so cute. She has one little dew claw on one paw, but not on the other. She was an angel and let us trim her nails today. It’s been a good day.
We’ll both be asleep by 8:30 PM. You can count on it! Phew like having a baby again.
Yeah, but, easier!
Happy for you, jwoorior!
Thank you, Slowcobra. We are living our best lives.
❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Oh Patience… she’s a little schmoozey woozy.
A very good girl.
Been away from my computer most of the day, dear ‘Woo . . . sorry. This is a super cute, puppy. Talk about a dog with your name and Savannah’s name on it. Wow. Congratulations. I’m seriously envious. But at almost 80 and with mobility problem, not sure I try another dog . . .
Don’t remember if I told you this but I have a name for the falling problem. I had lunch with my absolute best friend. When I fell this last time, kind neighborhood took me first to urgent care. There I got x-ray and EKG. The EKG verified that I had an irregular heartbeat. I then went to an emergency room for a complete physical including a CT scan. They confirmed my irregular heart rate (which I’ve known about).
When I explained this to my dear friend she said that her elderly mom had the exact same problem. Here’s what happened to me. Starting last March, I began having hard, painful, and sudden falls. The cause? As with her mom’s identical experience, my irregular heart simply skips a beat.
The effect is like a light switch being turned off. Suddenly I find myself falling. The affect is instant for a few milliseconds causing me to have a hard fall. I’m completely conscious on the way down.
As with her mom’s docs, my docs completely missed this. It was only when she found another specialist that she finally had a name for the problem. Now, I have a name for the problem. Going to see my cardiologist. Probably need a pacemaker.
As always, dear ‘Woo my friend, it is always good to hear from you. . . Be well and be blessed. 🙂
Hi my friend, G.
I’m so sorry your doctor missed the arrhythmia. I’m GLAD you will go see your cardiologist… and pretty darn quick… I hope.
I’m going to pray for you that your cardiologist can find a method of treating you that isn’t invasive, corrects the issues at hand, and helps you to live a long and joyous life. For you and Tinkmeister.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… and Betsy has covered the same… please make sure you have someone looking in on you daily until you get a plan of attack from your cardiologist. It scares me to think of you there and for you to fall and really hurt yourself.
Maybe, too, you get one of those medical alert bracelets or necklace that you can press if you need help?
Please… we value you here and want you and Tink safe. Blackouts are really scary.
It is imperative for you to measure your risks carefully. You would ask me to do the same, wouldn’t you, if I were going through the same?
I’m counting on you to set a good example for me.
As for the little furry one… Rosie has been a little dear girl. She was very scared and is still warming up to her surroundings. In a huge positive step… she chose to trot over to me wagging her tail.
She’s staying on her puppy pads. Is getting used to her leash and harness… and she sat like a good obedient girl several times for Savannah.
You would laugh so much! Savannah was WORN OUT like a new mom who had just given birth. But she was grinning from ear to ear and is delighting in this lifetime wish come true.
We’ve not mingled the cats and puppy yet. There’s a four foot iron baby gate between them, and the kitties aren’t jumping it.
Contemplating if I’ll take her to the office with me in the morning. She’s still super shy and she just trembles…. it was cold here though… so she wearing a little vest to keep her warm. We have a huge kennel that is set up in the kitchen, but I don’t necessarily trust the cats yet to not mess with her.
I understand you not wanting a dog now. It’s a lot of work!!! But you have Tink there and she’s a good and gentle friend who thinks the world of you. Easy pets are good.
You take great care my friend. Get that finger set and the ticker in order.
We love you and send many prayers for your blessing your way.
Thank your for your caring words, dear ‘Woo. Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood that’s more like a small village than an urban place. I’m surrounded by good friends who are in constant contact.
This made me cry, nwtex!
In a good way … so sweet.
That child has a tender way with the kitties.
(veterinarian in training?)
Yes, there is plenty of room in my lap for you too! Oh furry babies all around!
umm
