I am in a state of wonderment. I wonder, I appreciate, I am grateful. This great plan for me -- for us -- all of us -- that I am part of, I wonder why it has to be like this, but accept and know it IS for a reason, and it is not that I am to be miserable, but...

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Friday November 06, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

Anyone wonder what the heck I was saying yesterday? You know what, me too. This is all so complicated -- and it does involve way more than just the farm itself and its survival. How do I see and act in the many roles I serve in. Messy. Complicated. No simple...

Anyone for some milk?

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Sunday November 01, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut
