I strive to be a good help meet to Steve and good mother to my 18 children. We have been blessed with children both by birth and adoption. Our adopted children have all come with some challenges and as such our life is not easy but God never promised it would be. We hope to be sanctified daily. We are passionate about education that gives people of all ages a love of learning. We are also passionate about good food, food the way God intended it to be eaten and as such are working at establishing our sustainable farm to provide for ourselves and our community.

No piglets yet - butchering day

Still waiting on the piglets - hopefully any day now.  Steve and boys butchered a goat, our first turkey and some roosters on Saturday, during intermittent periods of rain.  Its been raining so much here (its raining again today) that its beginning to feel like England or Seattle.  I itch to put plants in the ground but the fact that we will probably be moving in the next month and the possibility of a late spring freeze (most folks don't plant until the end of May here) keeps me from doing so.  Its actually fore-casted to snow tomorrow.

We are beginning a plan of hospitality nights on Fridays and Family Sabbath meals of Saturdays starting this week.  Unfortunately the first hospitality night is being ousted by a church family dance we found out yesterday but that will be fun as well- the kids are certainly looking forward to it...

    Hi Amy,


    Sounds like you are busy with all your animals right now. Hope the weather improves. Nothing worse than rain daily with no let up especially when you have so much to do outdoors.


    You mentioned you may be moving next month. Fill us in. Love to the kids and Happy Mother's Day to you. I'm cooking!#><+*
