Books, Bedlam, and A Lively Hope

Barnyard Buddies

Furry and Feathered Friends is the theme for week 6 of the Farm Girl Blog-a-thon!

My husband and I have talked about maybe getting a goat or two once things get settled on our farmette, whether it be at our current location or a future home. It was a bit of a coincidence then, that our puppy Buddy, a mixed breed, often resembles a goat in both appearance (when his ears lie horizontal) and most certainly in eating habits.
Buddy.
Will Eat.
Anything.

Here he is now, mowing our pasture...


He will make a good farm dog. His senses are keen, and he can dig a hole faster than a backhoe. Our other dog, a Boxer-mix we call Scrappy also enjoys eating ground clover and winter wheat.

"Thanks for the snack, ma!"

This is the final week of the Farm Girl series. Whew! I made it! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed reading everyone's entries.

It was a wonderful surprise to learn yesterday that I was the lucky winner of the Farm Girl prize drawing! My afternoon wasn't going too well and it really helped lift my spirits. Many thanks to the Garden Goose for hosting such a fun blog-a-thon.

Good Morning,
How fun to read your blog. I feel like I've made a new friend. Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas and the encouragement. I loved the story of your trees being ordered by your husband. Multiple times in my married life, my husband has surprised me with his translations of something I have said. It keeps things fun most of the time:-)
We attended a conservative mennonite church here in Alaska for a couple of years and made some true and amazing friends. Most are back in Pa now, but a couple have perservered here. Though we no longer attend a mennonite church, I hope and pray we have taken many of the positive and wonderful aspects from our experience and that we live closer to God every day.
It was fun to "meet" you.
Take care of you, and keep writing.
In Christ,
Tan

****HI TAN! Thanks for stopping by. I've heard about that church in Alaska and have wondered whether it was going to make it- how interesting to hear of your interaction with that fellowship. Many Blessings, Monica****
