I spent the last 24 hours hanging out with my 'besties' (i.e., best friends since grade school.) It was fun to be in a much more urban setting. A nice change of pace. Lots of good food, laughs and shopping at chic recycled (i.e., used) clothing boutiques. Farmer J stayed home with the children and seemed to have quite a good time but the state of our house once I had returned! A few hours of picking up and cleaning are definitely worth some girl time away.
Today Farmer J and the boys planted seeds in the garden and transplanted some of our plants from last year's garden (that survived the move) into our new garden. J said the project is taking longer than expected. His muscles are sore but he is quite in his element and very happy. They also had a lot of fun searching for edible mushrooms in the woods! The kids cooled off with a run threw the sprinkler (in APRIL!)
Our chicks are doing great. Farmer J transferred them into a bigger home (i.e., box.) I missed the sounds of my baby chicks when I was away and am glad to be back home and hearing their "peep peep peeps" in the background.
We still feel we have won some kind of happiness lottery and cannot believe we live along side all this beauty. God has surely blessed us. Tomorrow we are going to try another church in town, hoping to find a nice fit for our family. The church we tried last week on Easter Sunday was very lovely and I could easily stop searching---- but those that know me, know that is just not my style!
Gotta go, I hear the munchkins approaching the house. They always find their way back home when their belly's start growling!
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
