Goathouses, Bulls and Fireworks!!!

Since my last post many things have happened. I did that post early in the morning before Michael left to go to Pennsylvania. Thank you to all of you that helped that trip happen. It was a long one for Michael and he is glad not to be doing that anymore. He used to be gone for 2-3 weeks at a time when he worked for the Prophecy Club.

Shortly after he left we had community work day and Mr. Ante, Mr. Sifford and Mr. Sustaire moved and basically rebuilt a goat house for us. Here is the finished project:
Thanks guys it looks GREAT!


We also welcomed Quitachon back to the land. He is a Longhorn bull that we had with our Longhorn cows. We returned him when we thought he was done with the herd. Since then we acquired a Holstein milk cow. She had never had a calf so we needed to solve that problem. That job is for Quitachon.


I took the children to watch some fireworks too. Aside from the Amerika worship we had a great time. They had a homemade ice cream contest. We got to buy a sample of the entries. I had birthday cake flavor and the children enjoyed the vanilla. That was some yummy ice cream!
When Michael came home he brought us a puppy. She is cute and there are some pictures on A Process Driven Life blog in today's post. Her name is Sugar and I joke that Michael named her after my one addiction! He also brought home a ministry student named Dusty.

Michael just brought in some peaches from our tree. I will be making peach preserves after I am done with the pig we got from the butcher.

Thanks to the Lord for the rain we received while Michael was gone! It made such a difference in the garden!! The amount of growth was amazing!!!!

In Christ,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,

I think you know my sense of humor isn't always as reserved as it should be, but I couldn't help but giggle at the mental picture of the puppy and the ministry student. The puppy's certainly cute. When do we get to see the ministry student. LOL
(I'm sorry)

You're iron handle is just almost finished, except the screws David purchased didn't quite fit through the holes so he has to make the holes a bit bigger. Hang in there, we'll git 'r done.

You gonna share some of those peach preserves with your neighbor? LOL! That ice cream was yummy, I have to agree.
Peace, Kris

Danielle,

What a blessing it was to share time with you in fellowship.I think it was especially good for Jonathan as I see in him a renewed interest in the Scriptures. We are praying the Lord to open the doors for us to move to Texas asap and that he teaches us to become Biblical agrarians.
Blessings,
Susan
