So this is the end of the week. How’s your Saturday going? We’ve had an exciting few days and we’re glad it’s now the weekend. It’s nice that at this time of the afternoon most of the heavy work is behind. We’re hoping that things will be a bit calmer and maybe cooler over the next couple of days. Continue reading

You just never know what is going to happen down the road when you meet people. You’ve already heard about our wonderful new neighbors (they’ve been here a year now – hard to believe – when do they stop being new?) Lance and Elise; you’ve heard of them because they amazingly volunteered to help paint the coop. It was largely due to their help that it was completely so nicely and quickly. Now just wait! Continue reading

This is going to be a self indulgent post. Let my apologize up front for that. Under “categories” I’ll classify this as “musings”. Since spending some time at home with my folks, and then going through old photos looking for some scans recently, I’ve been an introspective or even nostalgic mood. Bear with me? Continue reading

Ok, just a quick update on a couple of things. Wanted to share a photo of Squeaker, now livin’ large with the white birds. Squeaker is the fuzzy one, top center photo. She seems to be doing quite well with her new little flock-mates. We think she was welcomed so easily because she is the same color. You know what they say about birds of a feather. Continue reading

In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he encourages us to “walk in the newness of life.” This, specifically, relates to the resurrection of Christ and the change wrought for us. Could we not continue to “walk in the newness of life” by cultivating and observing that newness? Being involved in a creating and renewing process may be a great reminder of God’s continued presence in all life. Continue reading

Last night I wanted to make a graphic showing the egg numbers over the last couple of months. You know, because I’ve been so behind with the numbers. I thought it’d be an easy way to go. Well… I use Excel a great deal, but I don’t ever make charts from the data… so this took me all evening. I input data from the last 60 days, but when I made the chart there was just too much data for you to see what was going on, unless the chart was HUGE. Then I just had to play around with things until I could get something that would translate into a graphic and be easily readable. Consequently, here we are on a Friday finishing a post that started last night. I hope you’re not disappointed. Continue reading

Not sure where to go with this today. We have various photos that I haven’t used yet for the blog. They are all cool in their own way, but not necessarily linked in any other way; other than being on the farm. Farm life, dontcha know. Continue reading

Been awhile. You have any news? We do have news. But let me being by saying, I have no idea what day of “quarantine” it is, how long we’ve been in this situation, nor how long it will be until we get out of it; however, we are doing our best to get through it all one day at a time. Continue reading

It was an odd homecoming. Throw some clothes in a suitcase, add some things to keep me occupied (read: work), borrow a MiFi device from very generous church friends in hopes of being able to log on at my folks’, leave egg delivery contact list and info for Sue, hit the road. 7 hours later, here I am. I’ve never left Sue on such short notice, with no plan in place, and without weeks of planning. Yet, here I am. For those not friends with me on Face Book, my mom was hospitalized with a TIA over the weekend. I’m glad I’ve came to, maybe, make sure that she doesn’t do too much too quickly; now I am updating you from afar. Continue reading

There is always work going on here; you’ve probably been following us long enough to know that there are always projects in the offing, or started and waiting for parts to come in, etc. I’d like to update you on a couple that are currently in action. Continue reading
