Fog

10/26/06 - 5th Day. After Breakfast. We woke up this morning to a thick fog. Things are so much different when we are somewhat back to our normal and expected levels of moisture. The drought is over, at least for October it is, and we hope that it is finished for good. We received another 1/2 inch of rain over the last few days, and things are looking green and healthy. This first picture is a picture up our driveway at around 9 a.m. this morning.

Here is a picture of some of the children and their friends. Jennifer is holding Rocket the cat, and Sarah is holding on to Helen her blind goat. Robert is watching the fellas in the distance as they cut up some mesquite for firewood. You can see the corral in the background, and the area that is fenced out right behind the children is where we hope to build a barn (with milking parlor) in the near future, if the Lord wills.

I went for a walk down to the pond this morning, and it is holding water well from the recent rains. We went swimming in it last week, and if it gets warm enough in the next couple days I might do it again. Maybe it will be today. The prognosticators are calling for a high of 82 today. Today is laundry day, so Danielle is preparing to head out to the laundromat in Coleman.

The training with the calves is going well, and I look forward hopefully to using these animals for work here around the ranch someday.

I have posted two new sermons on the BiblicalAgrarianism.com site, so check them out when you get an opportunity:

Miracles in Mark 11

Your servant in Christ Jesus,
