Clearing out what's dead and overgrown. Farming is such a metaphor for life. 😅 Blessed to have our little, but strong, farmhand. ❤️

Happy Spring y'all!! A little reminder of how fast they all grow. Even our little chickadee. 😢 Our farm kitty, Bella is loving the farm. Chix aren't quite sure of her yet though. 🤣

We'll hopefully be getting veggie starters up soon, but have a very full plate right now. We'll keep you posted. Eggs are available again at Verona Caney Garden and Landscaping!! They also have the best priced raw honey and several different meat cuts. Go say hi, to Mrs. Patsy and Mr. Richard for us!

Ever since we bought our property, I've wanted to see this sight. Not just for the help, but to feel like a "real" farm. ❤️ God is good. Just when we needed it most. It also reminds me of my favorite drives back home. 💞

Just when it seems all hope is lost and death has won the victory, if you look close enough, you'll see new life again. Compounded grief is complicated, especially when it comes in triplets or more. After losing 2 more pregnancies back to back in the summer and fall, my dad's death proceeded in the winter this past season. I've not been able to catch my breath and could do little more than lay prostrate begging for Jesus to come quickly many days, or stare into space, searching the heavens. Under the weight, it has felt as if death is lurking at every corner. But as the good, good Father He is, God reminds us all, that it's ALL in His plan, in His timing. Where there is new life, there will be more. And joy comes in the morning (mourning). He IS close to the brokenhearted. Though I can't hear Him amidst the noise right now, I can feel Him breathing new life and see Him in His creation and the love of family and friends. Death, where is your sting?

For those of you that have planted a row of bulbs by hand and have seen them return year after year, you know what a victory this is. 😅♥️🌷🪻

‭‭John‬ ‭12:24‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[24] Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:55‭-‬57‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[55] Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? [56] The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭30:4-‬5‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[4] Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name.[5] For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:18‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[18] The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:4‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[4] Blessed are those who mourn, for they WILL be comforted.

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭CSB‬‬
[18] Then I thought, “My future is lost, as well as my hope from the Lord.”
[21] Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope: [22] Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. [23] They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness! [24] I say, “The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in him.” 💕
