Winter is Ending – Just Like God Promised – 4

Cows Across the Road

Cows Across the Road

I’m assuming these are a sight for winter in this field. Since our neighbor put in a pivot irrigation system a couple of years ago, I imagine he plans to move the cows somewhere else and plant something that can be irrigated. Either way, some of the cows were interested in me, too.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

Blackbirds just passing through, heading back north. It was still freezing last night but only a few hours. We’ve hit 70’s and a few 80’s already.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. Genesis 8:22

Peach Tree Pruning and Cat Composting

Peach Tree Pruning and Cat on Composter

Peach Tree Pruning and Cat on Composter

I had to prune the peach tree a week ago. We had a few days of cold weather but several warm days had it ready to bloom. I realize that may do it for this next season but it was too out of hand to let it keep growing. We had no peaches last year when the tree bloomed way early and got zapped by later cold snaps. But the pruning was necessary, both for the health of the tree and the fruit production. Much like the pruning God does with us.

The cat on the composter was just an extra – interesting place to decide to sit in the warm sun.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:1-5 ESV
