Blessed be the name of the Lord!!!!! The Lord has chosen to take our cow during the night last night. We still do not know why, the TB was negative so it wasn’t that. If it was the cancer, it sure was aggressive. Mark knew that she was dying last evening, she was laying on …
I have some updates for you all. The Amish ladies came to help me can the 350 pounds of meat yesterday. They knew that I could not do this even with my children’s help. That is what real love is and how community works. We lay down our own plans, our own desires to help …
For our cow… We ended up getting the vet out for the second time after another jersey farmer and her husband recommended that we get testing done as to our cows underlying illness that caused the cancer. This is important to find out because it could be a virus that spreads to our other animals …
Yesterday turned into a nightmare for me! It started out great. I had breakfast ready at 5 am for the kids. We had to get school done before 9 am, so we started at 7 am and got through math, english and some bible reading. Fridays are the only days, I will use for half …

Getting back to the basics and returning to the land is something our family of seven has been able to do. My husband and I were brought up in the city and had no experience with country living. When we first got married, all I knew how to cook was macaroni and cheese from a …
Last weekend I took photos at my cousins wedding. So many wedding dresses today are so immodest. I feel it is great to have one that covers your body more but is really pretty. My mother brought us two white pretty dresses for the girls from another family. They were pretty and very long. My …
We had a wonderful day yesterday with other believers at our Homestead. Our palomino Appaloosa horse arrived yesterday and his is gorgeous. Someone was giving this horse to a good home for free. I would love to train him for buggy riding to also add to our animal husbandry dvd. I think it is needful …
As our family was remembering the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, a perfect spotless white lamb was born to Megan’s ewe. We never kept sheep before so this was a major event for the family. We were planning to shear the sheep soon because we thought they would lamb in May. It weighs no …
