Nothing is better on a warm summer morning than Our Favorite Homemade Granola. Ok, actually anytime of the day or any season, this granola is GREAT. Yogurt and granola is one of my favorite breakfasts. The boys love it, although they prefer warmer breakfasts in the winter. Years ago I spent a weekend at Cricketwood […]
Moses (part 4/4)
To read “Moses part one” click here. To read “Moses part two” click here. To read “Moses part three” click here. 10) The ten plagues. This was new to me. Sometimes when I read the Bible, especially the Old Testament, I read it like a book. Not really looking for the reason behind why something […]
Goat Update
We really like having goats. They bring us much enjoyment and entertainment. Halle is still shacked up with Jasper so Brown Sugar is alone with the three doelings. We give them treats every now and then. This is some winter squash. They all love it. Since the doelings came from the same herd they are […]
Luke
Over the almost seven months we have lived with Luke we have learned more about him. He was given to the previous owners when he was a puppy. They were not dog people. He wasn’t allowed in the house at all. He lives in the garage which allows him to go in and out as […]
Our First Egg
Well, it happened. Sooner than I thought it would. Yesterday Michael found an egg in the chicken coop. Yeah! Being green, it was laid by an Americana. It is a good month earlier than I thought we would have eggs. Maybe she is an early bloomer. It is small, which we expected. My understanding is […]
Moses (part 3/4)
To read “Moses part one” click here. To read “Moses part two” click here. 7) I Am Who I Am Wow. God tells Moses His name (one of many). That name, it speaks volumes. God is. He wasn’t created. He lives. Life came from a living being. God has no end. He is. He is […]
Love is in the Air
I’ve been noticing our Rooster pecking at the hens lately. I guess he is showing his loving feelings by pecking the ladies. He has pecked me. Not because he has any loving feelings for me (like Calvin does) but probably to keep me away from his harem. It hurts. I’m glad I’m not a hen. […]
Field Fencing
After papa goose disappeared Michael thought it was best to replace the field fencing that was around the pond. It was old and had places that the geese were able to get through. The Saturday after Christmas Michael and the boys took down the old fence and some of the useless posts. They bought new […]
Moses (part 2/4)
To read Moses part one click here. 4) The Faithful Moses’ parents were Amram and Jochebed. They were some of the possibly few Israelites who held to their belief in the one true God and did not worship the Egyptian gods. When Moses was born they hid him for three months. Finally it was impossible […]
A Joyful Visit
My sister and my two nieces came down New Year’s Day to stay the night. When we lived in Milwaukie we were minutes from all of my family. I miss them so much. I thought I would be able to talk on the phone to make up for it but life is so busy especially […]
Fun Additions at the Barn
For Christmas we got the boys a bunch of goose decoys. They want to hunt everything but we have limited it to Canada Geese. We surprised them Christmas morning with a field of geese (decoys). It was pretty funny. They thought they were real and told us to all hide so we didn’t scare them […]
Moses (part 1/4)
Moses and the Exodus The boys and I have been studying the Life of Moses at Bible Study Fellowship. I love to talk about what I learn when studying the Bible and since we are somewhat secluded here I thought I would talk with you… 1) Egypt At the time that Moses was born, Egypt […]
