Whatsup at the Ranch

12/30/07 - The Lord's Day - After Breakfast. We've had some cold mornings, but it has been getting into the 60's during the afternoon with bright sunshine. 29 this a.m. and expecting 67 degrees by afternoon. We had a great sabbath yesterday. I am still reading in Volume 3 of John Gill's Sermons and Tracts. I also started John LeCarre's The Honourable Schoolboy, the 2nd in the George Smiley trilogy. I also have begun reading the 4 volume Complete Works of Abraham Booth. We had a good Saturday night Q&A fellowship last night, and we are getting prepared right now to go to singing in about an hour.

Tracy had some bunnies born yesterday, and I haven't checked with her today to see if they made it through the night. I think she had 4 or 5 born, but I'm sure we'll find out for sure today or tomorrow. This is a good thing because we have had a terrible time here on the land in the multiplication of meat rabbits. If these survive, I believe they will be the first successful rabbit reproductions we have had here on the land.

The number of animals in the community is growing though. Elder David purchased a couple of more goats the other day, and I believe that Chris Woods had a she-goat give birth to a kid as well.

We're still working on the "double-dug" garden, and we are not currently milking the cow since we have her up in the pasture to get pregnant again.
