Busy Bees

4/07/08 - 2nd Day - Late Evening. I haven't posted in a few days. We had a great weekend. The sabbath was pretty peaceful. We had a visitor who drove in from east Texas to visit, and we showed him around and gave him a tour. On the Lord's Day we had our fellowship, then we had a grand time as several of the men came over and we planted a pasture of mine. I spent a few days last week talking to the seed houses and finally decided to plant a couple of acres in Sorghum/Sudan. We borrowed a grain drill from a friend of Chris Woods and we pulled it behind my pickup truck. It was fun. We had four people riding on the drill making sure the seed was falling and planting properly. The rest of us rode in the truck and we had a good time. We planted about 4 acres total and it didn't take long at all. Next week or so we will try to plant the rest of the pasture in buckwheat or corn or something, but we'll have to see how that works out.

So now I need everyone reading this to take a break and pray that we will get good rain this week to help us make a crop. Stop now and pray and then we'll proceed....

Thank you.

Today, Danielle and I spent all day in Bangs and Brownwood picking up some needed things for the gardens, some perennial herbs and other plants, etc. Then we came home and the whole family worked in the garden, watering, planting, etc. It was a great day. We are putting in the order for supplies for Ranchfest tomorrow, and we are still short of everything we will need to get what we need to get done during Ranchfest. Prayerfully more will come in between now and then. We are looking forward to getting to work on the project though.

Anyway, things have been very busy here with planting and gardening season in full swing, but we are having fun. I know I haven't posted much, and it has been awhile between sermons, but that is the way things are this time of year.

Y'all understand.
