Struggling To Find Ourselves

A Possibility?

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 22:52:22 +0000

I’m not sure if it will ever happen or not, but if the opportunity came about that we were looking at Holden Beach Real Estate, it MIGHT be something to consider. That few days that we stayed on the shores of Lake Michigan were DEFINITELY an experience that I want to relive at some point! And, if the place was on the right beach, with the right job circumstances and such, and if the price was right, I would be open to beach front property….as long as it was secluded more than what we were on Lake Michigan!

Have a blessed evening!

Life On The Farm

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:32:50 +0000

Life on the farm really doesn’t allow for things that other people who live in the city can take advantage of sometimes. But life on the farm DOES give us a LOT of benefits that the city people don’t even think about having.

Life on the farm does not really allow for the full benefit of premier skincare, but life on the farm DOES give us plenty of things to do outside to help with the Vitamin D intake.

Life on the farm does not really allow us to take vacations spur of the moment because of the animals and other things that need taken care of, but life on the farm DOES give us the opportunity to see the cycle of life happening every day….babies being born….and some not making it…..the garden growing….the flowers dying off some after they bloom…..the greeness of the pastures when we get plenty of rain and the dryness when we need some rain.

Life on the farm does not really allow us to go exercises with friends as the people in town do, but there is PLENTY of physical labor to do, so we don’t need to be to concerned with exercising to start with.

A snapshot into our lives……on a Kansas farm.

God Bless!

Another Day

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:29:49 +0000

The start to another day…..The rain we had yesterday morning and last night was welcomed here at our farm! We were trying to get some fence put up for the goats yesterday morning, and that was slightly delayed by the rain we had, but we got most of what we wanted to get accomplished done anyway. The garden and the pasture NEEDED the rain!

With the coming of Summer, I have been considering what to do with my time when our home is empty except for me, the dogs and the cat. I have been strongly considering doing something like accounting raleigh nc, but I haven’t fully decided yet. There is NO doubt that I will find something to fill what little time I have during the day after the farm and home cleaning chores are taken care of….it is just a matter of WHAT I decide that I want to do to give me a change of pace here and there.

Read Proverbs 14 this morning out of the Bible. I read a couple of days last week as well, in an attempt to get back to reading it on a daily basis. One chapter is better than none!

Hope you all have a BLESSED week!

Music

As our son gets older, he is going through the phases of trying to figure out what HE likes….as opposed to what other people WANT him to like or not like. The same can be said for music. Next year, he will possibly be in Band at school, and then we will have to see what instrument he wants to play…..the piccolo or the tuba? The drums or the piano? If he wants to play the drums, we will probably be looking at a set of Coffin Case Drums for him. They MIGHT cost a bit more, but then again, there is ALWAYS a difference in quality compared to some of the other brands.

Have a blessed day!

Waterproof Necessity

admin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:35:40 +0000

Over the years, I have found the increasing necessity for certain things in my life because of what I do and where I do it. One of those things include things that was waterproof….or at LEAST water resistant. I’m not sure I have the need for a set of marine speakers, but if it’s a choice between marine speakers that are somewhat water resistant or the regular household ones, I would PROBABLY take the marine speakers.

God Bless!

I Think…

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:14:09 +0000

There are several things that I think we might end up getting for this house before it’s all over with. Lately, I have been thinking that it might be nice to have one of the address plaques for house
that glows in the dark, maybe. Along with that, we continue to work on fences, which two of our pastures will now successfully keep the kids in when we have the goats out on pasture during the day. We have horse radish and ginger root in our garden area, and I will plant the rest of the seeds we have later this week or over the weekend some time, as Spring has arrived, I think.

How’s things with you all?

God Bless!

Pumps

admin — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:11:42 +0000

With Spring arriving earlier than some would have liked, we turn our attentions to things like automatic watering systems for the animals, and catching as much of the rain water as we can in the rain barrels so we can use it somewhere else. We are also looking at a “gray” water system for the house to recycle some of the water that we use every day. But to do a gray water system, we need a pump or two to get the water to where we want it. I’m not sure, but it is possible that the place with the goulds pumps might be just the place to get what we need for that project.

Have a BLESSED rest of the weekend!

Job Possibilities

admin — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 03:51:00 +0000

I haven’t looked into yet, because I just found the link for cvs jobs, but I am thinking they may be a STRONG job possibility for this Spring and Summer! It is just something that I came across that I will have to check out and see what is going on at the time.

We had two more baby goats born the day before yesterday! One girl and one boy! That gives us a total of 7, with one more doe that I am pretty certain is going to drop her’s ANY time, and 2 that will drop some time after that….and one other adult female that SHOULD be pregnant, but we didn’t get any kids from her last Spring or Summer, and we haven’t gotten any from her so far this year, sooooo……who really knows if she is pregnant or not?

God Bless!

Silver

admin — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 02:46:33 +0000

There are silver moons, silver spoons, silver nights, silver to make money, Morgan silver dollar, silver hair, silver nails, silver paint, silver siding, silver hairbrushes, silver fillings, silver silverware, silver trim on China, silver this and silver that. Silver, they say, is a good investment, no matter what year you are living in.

Hope you are all having a GOOD and GREATLY blessed week! Things here are okay….relatively busy with baby goats being born!

God Bless!

Are you on Pinterest? If not, I recommend that you get on that, with a quickness. Pinterest is a website that enables you to “pin” things that you see on the internet to a “pinboard” so that you can view it later. You can create pinboards for virtually everything under the sun. You can make one related to home decorating, or one that focuses on things you want to purchase, or…well whatever you want, really. You get the point. Your friends can then view your pinboards and “repin” things they also like, and you can do the same with them. It is the single most addictive thing I’ve ever stumbled upon on the internet. You sit down for one minute to check out a friend’s board, and the next thing you know it’s four hours later and you’ve made a permanent indentation in the couch. It gets worse, though. I’ve recently discovered Lynnwood clear wireless, so now I can take my addiction with me wherever I go. I can sit in the park and peruse Pinterest, for instance. Or the coffee shop. Or the parking garage at my office. Anywhere, really. My addiction has reached a new level, and I love it! It’s not great for my productivity, but it puts me in a better mood, so there’s that. We’ll call it even.
