Musings from a Far North Farm


• Wednesday, May 7, 2008 - Quick Update

Good Morning. I'm back again. Mercy, where does time go? We've had every illness imaginable it seems this spring. But the weather is warming up and we're outside all the time these days. I think we'll make it now. We've been sick for more than 2 months!

I've been reading up on square foot gardening. I think we may try it out in the greenhouse. I will try to draw out a grid today and see what I can figure out in there. We have such little space and want to do so much with it...Anyone have any suggestions?

School is plugging along. We're trying to stay on track. It is hard with spring fever so prevalent in the house!

We've been continuing on the book of Joshua. It is so inspiring, the faith and trust the israelites showed in their leader, and their God. Then in my daily reading, I just finished Judges. Wow, what a contrast. It is so sad. Makes me really want to look hard at my life. It says over and over that the people didn't have a judge so they did what was right in their eyes. Lord, please don't let me do such a thing. I know I do some, and I really want to do what is right in God's eyes, not my own.

The pigs are growing. We'll get the chicks soon, I think. Layers and butcher chicks. It'll be great having chicken in the freezer. I am already praying Gene will get a moose this year.

Oh, did I mention that we're getting a couple of milk cows in the fall? Yep, we're going to be selling milk shares of our own soon. As long as we can find a place to keep the hay and pay for the silly cows. Seems there's always something...

That's about it I reckon. I'll try to get to the window story soon. I sure did get alot of messages about the homesteading stories. I'll try to keep up with them more now that we're all well.

Have a blessed day in the Lord. I encourage you to try to do things right in His sight, not your own. That's my goal this week.

Thank you, Lord, for Your grace. Thank You for not giving up on me. Amen.

In Christ,

Tan

I'm glad you and family are finally getting better. Good luck with the gardening! This is my first garden in about 15 years so I'm afraid I have no advice to give in that area :o( Thank you for your prayers for grandson2b, I appreciate it greatly!

God bless you!
