Please take the time to go read this article - it really sums up a lot of what goes through my mind when it comes to the commonly held viewpoint of "modern" agriculture....only much more articulately than I could phrase it!

Announcement
Before any of our goats had started kidding, and before any of the cows had started calving, I had mentioned to my father-in-law that I hoped that all the births would go smoothly this year.
“So what?” You might ask??
Well I hope all the births go well, including the birth of our second child! My husband and I are expecting a new baby due to arrive around the end of October, first of November. Cora, our firstborn daughter, will be 22 months when she becomes a big sister.
We are very excited, and eagerly look forward to meeting our new baby!

Off Topic
I want to take the time to make everyone aware of an issue that is going on right now that jeapordizes a parent's right to parent their children. View my blog post here. Check out www.parentalrights.org for more details.
This is a serious issue that has big time implications, and as usual it has a nice sounding name. It's the "United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child." With a title like that, it actually sounds like a good thing, but what it really means is that if your child doesn't like some of the limits you as their parent place on them, then they could be separated from you. I go into further detail at the other blog post, so I ask you to PLEASE check it out, and be sure to visit www.parentalrights.org for more details and to take further action.
If you are a parent, or care about the future of this country and our children, please take the time to check out the links I posted. Thanks!

What's that I hear?
Yes, the sound of spring coming!
Yesterday we first heard the sound of the Spring Peepers! The high pitched song of the frogs first coming out is a sure sign of spring coming!
The buds are beginning to form on the trees, looking out across the fields at the woods you can see a tinge of red where the new leaves are beginning to form. Yet another signpost of spring!
And certainly you can't have spring without Robins! The robins have arrived, hopping about the lawn looking for their next meal. The lovely brown, red-breasted birds are a cheerful reminder that warmer weather is just now coming upon us.
Our daffodils are beginning to poke through the frosty ground, and soon the crocus will bloom.
Anticipation of new birth, as well, calves and baby kids will soon be born and frolicking about the newly greening pastures.
Oh, what a wonderful, hopeful time of year spring is!
Praise God for giving us the fresh breath of spring air after the cold wind and freeze of winter! What an almighty and loving God we serve!
