It shall be "untitled"

Early this year, in February, we entered into kidding season. We have kept dairy goats for the past nine years and after purchasing a milk cow this past fall, we began to sell our goats as they kidded. It has been sad to sell them after practically growing up with them, but it is something to get used to when living on a farm. I cherish the moments I spent helping the does while they were in labor, for I know I will not have that opportunity again. I love baby goats and spent plenty of time holding them. I thank God for the time I have spent helping my family on the small farm here in the south. I thought I would share some of the picture I took while helping with one of the births we had early this year. The doe had three baby girls:)

Yes, I took all the pictures myself because I was the only one down there :) The goats did not mind.

(above) The mama is in labor here and was so sweetly resting her head on me :)

It was quite windy and cold out there and I was cold and wet due to the afterbirth all over my skirt :)

~ Until next time,

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Reflections

Reflections are very interesting...they help you see the objects and scenery around you in a new way. I took some neat reflection shots today, and thought I would share them:) A smiling face in a tea cup:) Yes, I know, the computer screen is pretty dirty;) And while we are on the subject of reflections...I thought I would "reflect" on January so you get a little update on what I have been doing:) Since I was working in the general contracting world for several months, I learned some useful skills, and have recently been putting them to good use here in my home. We built our home many years ago, but moved in before the interior was finished. Doors needed to be put up, base trim, door trim, and painting all needed to be done. So now that I have those skills, and some time, I have taken on the job of finishing the inside of our house:) When I get a chance, I will take some pictures of projects I finish and post them for you. Besides that, I am still te...

Reminders

When I stop to look at the beauty all around, I am amazed that God loves me as much as He does! His creation is so much prettier than I am... It does not sin! But God wants a relationship with me and because He wants that, He sent His Son to die- for me. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them:) Let us not forget why we are here. Until next time, Elise
