A quiet day

This Saturday morning is rainy, dark and foggy. I am so happy to be able to hang out on the farm. I'm planning on getting some things organized, cleaned and sewed. The garden has slowed down from the drought and there is now time to start pulling weeds in the flower bed - got to get things as nice as possible as my family is coming in a month! Yea, Molly's wedding! I am so happy that she will have with Doug, what I have with Dan. I am truly blessed. We found a home for Odd-ball (our first born rabbit) this week and it was so cute! They were thrilled to have him as a gift for their 5 year old daughter, whose been asking for her own rabbit. God worked things out great as Abby took him to a 4-H meeting as part of a demonstration, and let it be known that he was up for adoptioin. The little girls birthday was a week later, so it was in His perfect timing. Am trying to remember that life is in His perfect timing. Things that cause me frustration, are part of His purpose and how I handle it is up to me. Do I please him? Do I try?

Eggs, eggs, eggs...........

We have a new daily record of 9 eggs in one day! It is so incredibly cool that I can go out to the barn and pick up fresh eggs. Thank you, Lord! Most of them are such a beautiful, cozy brown. I think I'd like to paint a room that exact color. Recently, Abby and I made our first effort at canning. We have 'put up' what we are calling "5 Alarm Salsa", because it is burn your throat hot! Next we canned some tomatoes and tomato sauce. To can you really need two stove tops and six arms - or your 12 year old daughter!~ Couldn't have done it with out her.

Dan and his dad (with some help from Grandpa Chaffin and Daniel) built the shed for the cows - looks great! I was very happy to pick the color - Barn Red. It's starting to look like a farm.
