Merry Christmas all! As everyone knows Farm chores don't stop for holidays and today is no exception. While feeding the horses and farm flocks this morning I paused for a minute to just reflect on the blessings we have been given. God has blessed us with healthy animals, a loving extended family, and friends we didn't know we had! One of our members stopped by yesterday with her son who is just back from a tour in the Peace Corps. He approved of our Solar Cube, Compost Piles, and worm bins. He laughed at our homemade methane digester and promised to come back and help us build one that is more efficient. Ours only runs D's little trailer heater and stove. He gave Oscar some ideas for the gardens and wants to get involved with some of our many projects. Like the song says "I believe there are angels among us." Ours happens to be named Sean! On a more serious note, The ewes are getting ready to lamb, 3 goats should kid any minute, and 2 of our mother cows calved this week out on the lease. Give me a call and come on by. Meg
