God is good!

Sorry, I am still around! I have been working double time on the Hoedown, homeschooling and just making sure my girls feel loved. The greatest thing just happened....my little one shuffled in after a good night sleep with a book in hand. I think it's so very important to literally drop what we are doing to spend time with our kiddos, so that's exactly what I did. Put the emailing on hold and curled up in our big chair for a story. It was so wonderful spending some quiet time alone with such an amazing little person. She told me about the dream she had while sleeping and talked about what plans she has for her day. She's such a great girl!!



I see God's hand in everything these days. Maybe I am just finally taking the time to wait for Him and look for Him. Hubby's business has been in "a drought" as he calls it. He has work but hasn't been signing any new jobs. BUT 2 days ago the drought ended!!! He has signed several jobs this week and for that we are so grateful!! God is good!



HAY!! We have so much HAY- well now I can say had so much hay!! When we baled the pasture in the spring we thought we had buyers for all 850 bales. Wrong!! We only sold about 50 and had to pick every single square bale up out of the pasture to store in the barn. It has been sitting there ever since. Until last week.....first someone bought 100 bales, then someone bought 25. Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze came out Tuesday for 87 bales. A friend is taking 40. THEN, yesterday we had two calls- one for 150 bales and another for 80!!! YEEHAW!! The hay is going away! We honestly don't know how some of the people are getting our number. We listed in the Farmer's Market Bulletin a few weeks ago but our ad isn't in the latest bulletin nor listed anywhere on the site. Thank you Lord!!



I have been praying for our Hoedown. I felt a while back that we should not only have the Hoedown again this year but also include a cause that is so worthy of publicity. We chose Reece's Rainbow because we feel a strong call to help orphans with Downs. We thought that the easiest and possibly most finacially rewarding thing to do would be to have a silent auction during the Hoedown. I am truly overwhelmed by the donations we have received already and we still have a month to go!!! Please, visit their sites and support them- they have opened their hearts to help RR.
