The last few days have been gloomy indeed on this wonderful farm I call home. An overcast sky, frequent rain and cold temps echo the heaviness of my heart as my dad lays dying in Houston. I spent 4 days Continue reading

Eleven and Change
An evening walk the day after Christmas to check on our pregnant Ophelia netted a big surprise! While we were eating dinner she birthed 11 little piglets!
Although obviously pregnant we had not realized how imminent the delivery so it was a lovely surprise! As I watched mom and her babies God began Continue reading

Church in the Barnyard

I had no idea we would be growing so fast. When God spoke to me Continue reading
