Farm Meeting...

This is a 3-generation farm meeting!  Not sure Daniel had a whole lot of input but he was there none-the-less.  Arthur and his dad have been studying fields and crops to figure out what to grow where this upcoming summer and Amos was helping Arthur out on delegating farm duties.  It's a good thing we try to take only one day at a time because when you look ahead at all that has to happen this year it makes a person really tired!  The dairy cows are starting to calve which gives whoever's on chores a little more work.  Those newborn calves are sometimes really poor at learning to drink!  At the same time we're going over the maze business and trying to figure out what things to change, what things to add, where the money is coming from, how to advertise, and all that kind of stuff.  Then Aaron came over the other day with seed catalogs in his hand wondering what we were going to plant in our garden.  Ahh!  I'm so glad there's still snow on the ground!!!  In fact, I don't thinnk I've enjoyed a winter as much as this one for a long time!

Today Hosanna and Priscilla went over to an older lady's house from our church and worked on a missionary sewing project.  Meanwhile, Miriam helped me at our church go through library books, find out which ones have "disappeared", put them in the right order, fix damaged ones, etc.  Caleb helped put the "very pulled apart" tractor together, Arthur worked on our taxes, Isaac was at his job, and Silas, well, I'm not sure what Silas did after he was done with school since I was gone.  Tonight they all went to play hockey.  So that concludes another day and a brief look at the coming summer.  Again, I'm so glad it's still winter!!  Isn't God good to give us seasons of rest, or at least less work!  A time to catch up!   And more important, a time to reflect on how God has blessed in the past year and pray for his blessing and wisdom in planning for the upcoming season.
