6E Farm

Spring 2008
Looks like spring is finally here!!  It seemed like it was a long cold winter.  I'm glad to see the grass finally start to turn green.

It's been a busy winter here.  We have 8 new bottle babies on the farm, all of which are does except 2 and so we will be increasing our dairy herd immensely next year.  We've also picked up a few more does and so that brings our dairy herd up to 5 milking does at this time and all together 16 goats.  The Lord has truly blessed us in finding some wonderful deals on beautiful healthy girls to add to our herd. 

We also have peeping all over the place!  I think we have brought in and hatched out well over 150 chicks.  God has truly blessed us with wonderful hatch rates this year of over 90%.  We have added all the Marans chickens I think we want to and we've added full size Cochins and Welsummers.  Looks like next month will be chicken tractor building time. 

Big project ahead next month.  My dear sweet husband has decided to give up his tool shed which connects to my goat shed.  So, we're pulling everything out, cleaning it up, and pouring a concrete floor, putting in windows and this will become my new milking  barn!  I am so excited about it! 

We also had some new meat bunnies born.  They're so cute!  Shearing time is also at hand.  We'll be shearing Saturday as long as the weather and the shears hold out.  I finally got my farm store up and running.  I don't have a shopping cart set up yet, but you can e-mail me.

We still have some fleeces left for sale.  We have 2 white Leicester fleeces and a silver fleece left.  We also have 4 Mohair fleeces left.  Check out our wool page for prices.  We also have hatching eggs for sale and raw goats milk and herbal vinegars. 

Hope that this spring blesses you with an abundance of new life!

Colossians 3:2

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Prov. 23:7

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he....."

 

 Searching for His Will  

© Glueck Gibbs


His will for me is perfect,
His will for me is pure,
His will for me is the only way
To happiness here on Earth.

His purpose for me will be revealed,
but only in his time.
His will for me this day is to search,
And completely let go of mine.
