Blessings

Sometimes I get so caught up in life events that I miss so many of the blessings that God has given me.  What is the saying . . . take time and smell the roses.  The worries of everyday life seem to take precedent and we fail to notice all the many blessings we have.  I am guilty as charged!!  When I take time to look at my many blessings, I am so overwhelmed by God's love.

The birth of a baby goat.

The wonderful milk provided by my goats that I use to make delicious cheese for my family to enjoy weekly.  And not to mention the soap, fudge and ice cream!!  And the skill that God has given me to make these.

All the beautiful eggs that my chickens lay that I can sell at the market or make pies, cakes, cookies,  etc.

The beautiful seasons - each one more beautiful than that last.

My gardens and the wonderful vegetables, berries and herbs I grow in them.

 

Everyday I look out my windows and this is what I see.  And the beautiful songs of all the birds.  Words just can't describe it.

 

 

And the most important blessings are these two:

 

These two give meaning to my life.  I am forever thankful to God for letting me be a part of their lives.

So many blessings . . . more than I could possibly deserve.  Just saying Thank You doesn't even begin to express my feelings.  So richly blessed by God's Love.

 

Baby time on the farm again!

This time it is baby chicks!!  Little puff balls on legs.  Since this picture was taken, we have added two more little puff balls and I have two hens setting on roughly a dozen and a half eggs.  Whether or not the eggs are fertile remains to be seen.  Stay tune!!

The goat babies are now 5 months old!! And they are growing like weeds!!  Little Slugger is no longer little and he will probably be our next "stud."  Butch, I fear, will end up in "freezer camp" unless I can find a home for him.  Shrek, for some reason, has become very standoffish - not sure why.  Maybe it is because she is now a teenager and you know how teenagers are!!

And life goes on at the farm!
