Spring Update
3/14/07 - 4th Day - After Breakfast. Spring is definitely here. We received a little more rain after the 1/2 inch we received on Monday. It was sprinkling a bit more this morning. I hope this is good news for my oats. The grass is greening up everywhere and it seems everything and everyone is picking up a little speed for planting and gardening season.
We are also making our plans for Ranchfest which begins in just a few weeks. We will be beginning a large catchwater project, as well as doing a few fencing projects for some of the other brethren here. I am looking forward to the fellowship.
Most of the men in the community have been working on tearing down a house near here for the salvage wood. A neighbor who wanted the house torn down gave us permission to strip it first, which is a great blessing for all the different families in the community. This is a great way to get good building materials, and although it costs labor - labor is something we have, while money is often something we do not have. We only have a week to get everything we can get off of the house before the owner sends in the wrecking ball to destroy and remove the house so he can build a hay barn where the house now stands.
I think we have a broody chicken, which is great since we have not bought new chicks for a couple of years. I do plan on building a brooder area soon, but thus far we have not gotten to it. I got a magazine from Tractor Supply that has some really great information on pastured poultry, and I am hoping to move full speed into that this summer.
As I mentioned before, we will be starting a large catchwater project, so I am also studying underground cisterns and other methods of water storage so that we can store what we will catch.
The children are planning a play once again for Passover during Ranchfest, which will be fun, and also read Tracy's poem she wrote on the children's blog.
I am hoping to get a new sermon/Q&A audio posted today, but we will see how it goes.
Your servant in Christ Jesus,
