FELICIDADES !!! A TODAS LAS MUJERES DE DIA INTERNACIONAL DE LA MUJER. SHALOM.

I'm seeing little white flakes falling from the sky. . .

My new bee packages are in, and I'm going with a friend, Jeffery Andringa to pick them up and install them in their hives. After all the nice weather we've had this spring, here is today's forecast for the Bristol area: Becoming mostly cloudy in the morning. Chance of sprinkles or flurries. Highs in the mid 40s. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. This is almost a repeat of last years installation day weather, with the grateful exception, that last year we had pouring dow...

I found a recipe online for smoked eggs. . . You put the raw eggs (in the shell) in the smoker and leave them there for about 2 hours @ 225°f. The smoke permeates the shell. They are said to taste like you're eating your bacon and eggs at the same time. . . :) I'll give it a try. Next time I cook something else, I'll put a dozen eggs on also. . .

Ok. . . We've got 25+ lbs of ham baking in the oven, and 15+ lbs of pork loin on the smoker with apple and hickory wood chunks. The 10 lbs or so of Polish sausage will go on after church. . . It works out to about 5 lbs of meat per person. . .Dr. Atkins would be proud of us. . .

Just finished (finally) the biography of the great NT scholar, Adolph Schlatter, one of the best kept secrets of German evangelicalism (died 1936). What a giant! And what a pity he is so little known among us.

Cheer for the big driver, Bubba Watson, tomorrow at the Master's Tournament. He has a chance at it. Here is his latest tweet. "Thanks everyone for the support! 3 reasons that tomorrow will be #awesome, 1. Jesus has risen 2. See my new baby boy & my wife 3. Masters Sunday." Go Bubba!

The sayings of Jesus on the cross began with "My God, my God . . ." and ended with "It is done." Psalm 22 begins with "My God, my God . . ." and ends with "He did it."

What an enjoyable day today. Jakub spent the night. We had a relaxing morning, until Jackie took Jakub home, and I went on my bee rounds. I readied the hives that died, for the new packages of bees which will arrive in a week or so. They come from California, and they must wait to ship until the weather in the Rocky Mts. breaks, such that there is no danger of the bees freezing when they cross the mountains. I had planned on pulling a hive from a location that has not been successful t...

Over the last 3 days, I took a break from work and watched "Amadeus" in the Director's Cut version. I pick up something new each time I watch this film. I know the main plot line was fictionalized, but the music!
