I'm a walking

What scripture fits the beginning of this journey? On worrisome school days, I speak the beginning of Psalm 121 as I look at the Elkhorn Mountains during my morning drive to Baker City.  Maybe I should look at the whole psalm.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;
⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore

Oh my...yes indeed!!  I need to memorize the whole psalm.

Oh Jesus, my Lord, thank you for this promise to care for us.

 

As I climbed the pasture hill behind our barn, preparing my legs for inclines, I took this picture of Eagle Valley. These are the hills I view through my window when I type at my computer.

 

 

This picture is taken from the "S" grade. I was so proud of myself when I hiked to the top. It was a ten mile round trip and took me five hours (I'm really slow). I only practiced hiking this road three times and I never did the trip with my pack on. I hope I'm ready for Portugal. Oh Jan, repeat Psalm 121. Don't let concern worry ruin your journey.

 

 

Some horses in Akers' pasture.

Tymera's Ebenezer in her lama pasture.

Our cows. I had to take a picture of our own cows. Akers are taking very good care of them. We're glad they have partnered with us.

 

Foothill road has the best walking dirt in Eagle Valley. It's not like the gravel on the road outside our house.

One morning there were three lost goats in the road. They would follow me for a while, then turn back toward the corner.
