Little things in life can be so rewarding! I have been without fresh cream in my coffee for a little bit while our cow was "dried off" in preparation for calving. I was using goat's milk in my coffee but it just isn't the same. I am so thrilled to have fresh cow cream again-its the best in coffee!
I found out something interesting in my Bible reading yesterday from Leviticus - cattle form a herd, sheep and goats form flocks (I always thought it was a herd of goats).
Finally, I finished the book, "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen yesterday (required reading for my Agriculture class). The middle part of the book that speaks of his figuring out how to make food was inspiring (however all of God's providence was left out of this book) but the ending was awful.
I have a bid on a four volume set of "Farm Knowledge" books (published in 1819 by Sears and Roebuck). Our mentor strongly suggests these and they look wonderful! The one thing I do believe is that in our current and deepening recession/depression, farming will be one of the most profitable ventures as people always need food.
Until next time...
