If a picture’s worth a thousand words . . .

I will spare you the 10,000 page box set of novels and just show you what all has been happening over the last week or so – and even the Reader’s Digest version will be lengthy!

Farming with the big big crazy family!

Planting the seedlings, with a heap of help!

Protecting the seedlings a few days later because it’s a little bit early in the season for tomatoes – But that is what low-tunnels are for!

kitchen helper – staying out of trouble

My little kitchen helper – staying busy to stay out of trouble!

Tending the herd – of goats and children

They were great little shepherds!

I don’t know what they were working on, but it held all of their attention for about 5 minutes – oh yea – candy!

sprucing up the girls room

All in a day’s work – sprucing up the girls room

Are you exhausted from watching, cuz I was exhausted from working!  It was a great week at the farm, in spite of Jim being sick for several days, having to say goodbye to my Florida boy, days of rain that kept the laundry from being caught up – no dryer yet.  It was our regular brand of crazy, noisy, busy, chaos!  So I took today to catch up about 8 loads of laundry, I am going to round three to the vets office with ANOTHER limping goat tomorrow, and it is time to get ready to do it all again this weekend!  And prom, and a farm conference . . . and the grass at two places is about to reach my butt . . . See how many words I saved you from reading?!

Thank You Lord for blessing us so completely.  Help us to remember in the mud and the noise and the rain that it is all still a blessing!  Please Lord, help my little goats heal and help us to have Your wisdom in caring for Your creatures, Your land, and Your children.  In Jesus Name – amen
