Isaiah 40:31

A Little Summer Fun & Work

It was the evening of August 19 last year when Daddy brought home this flatbed simi knowing that the next morning he had to go get hay. Well, you know...our yard is so small and the simi is no small thing, it took up almost the whole length of it along the east side. And...you know me :/ I was totally become by the thing; (Now don't ask me why I love big equipment, but I do) So anyway, next morning Daddy was up early to get there by 7 o'clock.

He was soon back with 24 of the 50 bales he had boughten for the winters supply of hay.

Daddy's Coming Home!

My brother unloading them and we all three were out and gone for the next load around 9 o'clock. Since the skidsteer isn't ours Daddy didn't want to drive it so we waited until Robert's wife, came and told us that he was out spraying so Daddy could just go ahead and load the hay.

So Daddy wasn't even half done when Robert stopped by to fill his sprayer and finished loading for Daddy.

We went back to the yard and my brother quickly unloaded the bales because the tractor's front tire was going flat. He could line the bales up later, Daddy just needed to take the simi back that day because he had borrowed it.

Yes...farm life requires work but I wouldn't want it any other way. I am happy with the wonderful memories and awesome family God has given me and to be able to live in the country. It is a wonderful experience and this is just some of one of the many days of life on the farm that keeps me going. God is so good!

Fun!!

Here is what my sister and I did on a busy day in May last year which included: clean the lean-to and put in bales (hard work), put hay in the barn by pitchfork which was about 15 wheelbarrow loads, disced the garden and planted the whole thing (which is about 1/2 acre), built fence and put the horses in it, built sun pens for the goats and I helped my brother untwine knarled wire for about and hour. Now amidst all that my sister and I picked this dandelion bouquet for Castle, Cameo and Princess' birthday, three of our goats, who were 1 year old that day; we got some good pictures.

Spring Is On the Way!

And...that means a lot of other things, too. :-)

Spring is starting to show up around here and the first leaves are beginning to show green from a distance. Closeup details are always nice like these here.

As a farmgirl I have learned that work comes at any time of day or night, and as you can see here I portray tired from nights up which I could easily let bother me but I'm content with it because it's my responsability and always turns out a joy and precious memories somewhere down the road. I am thankful that I still have time in God's Word (as you can see in the picture) and love memorizing scripture. About the first of April God gave a keen desire for His Word and I began memorizing verses and so far I have memorized Psalm 32:1; 119:97; 51:9-12; Isaiah 9:6; Psalm 119:136; 100 (6 verses); Romans 10:9-10; Psalm 119:169; I Peter 3:18; Romans 6:23 and Psalm 27:14 in that order which averages not quite a verse every day and a half, not to brag, but I just love it. Many of which the Lord gave me through trails and blessings that makes me love Him more. Please don't hesitate to look them up in your Bible only if you have a King James, if not, don't even bother. There has never been a more enjoyable time to me than reading the Bible, but more than that is getting something out of it that I can aply to my daily life. Oh, and let me tell you that if you are born again the Bible way and dive into the Word of God expecting something from it, God will give you more than you can imagine. I just love getting into the routine of going over my verses that I am memorizing on a daily basis and being reminded of what the Lord has done for me. Praise the Lord! God only wants a willing servant who He can work through.
