Hi family + friends, it’s been a while since I last shared with you, life in our old hohouseand life around the farm.
Firstly, I have to say the weather has been absolutely beautiful for a change the week or so. Maritime qeather can be so fickle but weate certainly enjoying the sun and the warm wind.
It’s funny I looked out this morning and I could swear by it that the grass was greener at lunch and even more so at dinner time. It’s sort of hard to comprehend but that is what happens in the spring on these warmer days.
Farm life was good this past winter. All our feathered friends did well and we are finally seeing g some regular eggs once again. We will have to cull a few roosters about 3 as we have 6 all together. We only need big black with the farm mix hens and I will keep 2 of the bresse roosters to go with my 2 hens. They are our new flock that we will raise for meat and eggs. It will be interesting to see how they grow and taste when them for eating.
One of the next big projects is to get my poor greenhouse recovered in new plastic. The hurricane in the fall, Fiona was really hard on us and the last of the plastic took a beating this winter and it is tattered badly. I have quite a few seedlings that need to get out into the greenhouse so hopefully this weekend or next week that project will get done.
I’m not sure if I updated this or not but I am now growing and selling microgreens for a CSA and a food hub that supplies to restaurants and retail outlets. It feels really good to be doing that again, and I have been happily busy with it.
Not to fail to mention that the green room is extremely busy with microgreens and seedlings for the gardens the past couple weeks. I go down a take a peek to see what seedlings pooped up and what needs to be pricked out and replanted. Some times I take an hour down a few cell packs and get exciting g about eating the fruits of my labor♡.
I absolutely love growing and it makes me feel happy and full of hope.
We commemorated the 1 year anniversary back in mid March on the 19th the one year anniversary of our sweet Murdochs passing. It still stings and feels bad inside and I miss his company. He was such a big part of our lives and there is such a big hollow place without him.
Of course all three cats are doing well. I “ungrounded” daisy this week twice…. she has been grounded since last November when 2 days in a row she crossed the highway and almost got hit by cars….. we have let all three out to get somenfresh air and they are loving it, angel and Charlie are a little scared with all the noise but never the less enjoying the fresh air.
So we are up to a couple of projects, 3 to be specific and they are so exciting. Can’t wait to share them with you in time so for now they are staying under wraps.
We are both doing really we’ll and i have to say that our walks with the Lord have been better and stronger. With all the world events going on it is so hard not to for a minute not believe that the Lord Jesus is coming back soon. With all the unrest in the middle east and the falling of the west its is exactly what the Bible predicts and says will happen in these last days.
I personally have never been as hungry for the word of God, looking for whatever teaching I can get my ears on. We have found a couple of excellent and amazing book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse teaching churches on line. Pastors that are not afraid of speaking and teaching the truth. I, we have learned so much and it has also given me such an urgency and desire to share the word if God as well, salvation with people.
If you haven’t picked up your Bible recently or haven’t spoken with God recently I urge you to. Ask him what He wants you to do today. Speak with Him, tell him your needs, hurts joys He loves you so much. In the midst of all the chaos in the world His love is faithful, His peace sustains, His word speaks truth and He never fails us, He lives us.
If you don’t know Jesus, seek Him, read about Him, know Him. Stop running from Him rum to Him. Recieve Him today, recognize you are a sinner, and you can’t do it on your own. Confess your sins, invite Him in and let His love guide your life you will never regret it. He will never fail you!
Blessings to you all today and have a great weekend. Love and hugs R & V
