Adventures in Haymarsh
It has been tough going since November 10th. This early, deep, snow has made everything so challenging! Snow has it’s place… on a slope in a place far away from me. 😂. Today, we weaned steers. It seemed like such a daunting task, but as soon as our amazing help showed up, it all went so smoothly!!! God is so Good! Praise Him!!!
It’s 11 below, but I have to admit, God’s a good artist. Like the BEST!
Quote of the Day”He who labors as he prays lifts his heart to God with his hands.”–St. Bernard
Mother Nature threw us a curve ball. My birthday had to be cancelled to prepare for a storm. We were so blessed on Wednesday that after making 3 phone calls, 3 friends indeed! Showed up to help move the cattle closer to home. Once the storm hit, it took us a good part of a day to dig out. Thank God for tractor snowblowers! Growing up we just had our no cab loader tractor…the cabbed tractor with the snowblower is a game changer. With this amount of snow, it appears winter is here, the snow and cold makes everything so much more challenging…a good test in patience, perseverance, and optimism. This is our 4th year here and definitely the earliest winter has come in those 4 years. After trudging through the couple of feet deep snow banks this evening for chores, I’m going to seriously look in to snowshoes.❄️
We’re busy nearly every weekend in the Autumn trailing cattle, weaning calves or fixing fence. We never know who God is going to send to help us. Today He sent another excellent crew, 10 riders total!
We decided to try a “no screen zone,” this past summer. We loved the results so much we’re continuing it on. We are living counter culturally. Praise Him!!!
Praying for you to be in Heaven Mom…basking in Christ’s Glorious Light 🕯️!
Happy All Saints Day!
Andrew and I strive to Say the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3pm…the days when we are able to fit it in are the Best Days. St. Faustina…pray for us! Live with Joy, friends! We love finding the balance of not being scrupulous and not being presumptuous but Living that Beautiful Joy filled Christ Centered Life!
Today’s Meditation “Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one can say what it is like. I, Sister Faustina, by the order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence.” —St. Faustina Kowalska (741) |
Blessed to have such encouraging and supportive friends and family.
A friend shared this with the book club: a bit of crass language but worth reading:
A serious carver. Asked to carve a gourde this year.
