Snake in the Grass

While doing chores this evening I came across a snake.

A good snake.

Thank goodness.

Winter Clothes

This is Matthew practicing wearing winter gear.

He was informed that:

1. Universities don't cancel classes for snow.

2. Long John's are worn UNDER your jeans.

3. Ice is slippery.

4. Snow is cold.

and 5. Tell'm you're from Florida and they'll understand.

4-H at the Beach

Our last 4-H meeting of the year was today.

We went to the beach.

We got some sun.

We had a cookout.

We had some fun.

And now we're done.

See ya next year Green Thumb Ranchers!

Matthew Graduates !

Just think...

you're here not by chance,

but by God's choosing.

HIS HAND FORMED YOU

and made you

the person you are.

He compares you

to no one else -

YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND.
You lack nothing that

His grace can't give you.

He has allowed you to be here

at this time in history

to fulfill His special purpose

for this generation.

I love this quote written by Roy Lessin.

It really sums up my graduating senior.

I love you Matthew.

Congratulations.

Well done.

Baccalaureate

Matthew is graduating!

I'm smiling on the outside.....

.....and I'm crying on the inside.

Oh, I am gonna miss this boy.

Why do they have to grow up and move away.

I know. I know.

But I don't have to like it.

Growing Up

Amen is growing up.

She was the last goat born on our farm this year.

And she is getting big.

I think this one is a keeper.

Dinnertime ?

Little Dot has won Mother Goat of the Year.

She is still patient when they nurse.

She doesn't mind if they use her back to practice balancing.

And she doesn't butt them away when it's time to eat grain.

She has done such a good job with her triplets.

This goat is full of good surprises.
