Right now is my check email, facebook and blogs time and I realized I hadn't blogged in quite awhile. The newest addition to my farm is my bunnies. I am raising them for meat but will love them just the same until that time comes. I am not sure what kind of rabbits they are but I am thinking that the black and white ones have some checkered giant in them and the markings on the brown and white one look like dutch. I have seen some of the parents and was told about the ones I didnt see and they should all be a nice sized rabbit.
It has been raining all day yesterday and so far all morning today. Hopefully we will continue to get lots and lots of rain so that we can have alot of water in our well. Yesterday I was having a hard time dealing with our water issues. I felt so discouraged. I tried to wash a load of clothes but it ran the well dry before they were finished and it took a long time to get our water back. On top of the well being bad our hot water tank is also bad now so we do not have any hot water. It isnt the end of the world though because my stove still works so I just heat up any water I need for cleaning, dishes or bathing and use it. I praise God that we are able to do that because one day I decided not to bother with heating it up and just took a cold shower, wow! Never want to do that again, lol.
Caitlyn is back at school now. I think she had a good summer. She did a lot. She went to the Wilds with my sister in law's church for a week and then went camping with them at Tomilinson Run Park for another week and she also got to go to the fair everyday for a week. I think that sounds like a good summer. I got to feed goats everyday this summer so that was good, ahahahaha.
I have been trying to stay busy canning and freezing so that we can have fresh food in the winter and not have to buy the garbage that the grocery store sells. I am trying hard to raise all of my own stuff. It would be awesome to one day be totally self sufficient but I am not even sure if it is possible especially since Doug and Caitlyn would never give up the cable, tee hee hee.
The temps are finally getting cooler out and I can feel fall in the air. I am glad, I do not like the hot summer. I cant wait to see the leaves changing colors and the pretty smells and colors of Autumn. Spring and Autumn are my favorite times of the year but I have learned to be content with whatever season it is.Wether it is a season in my life or a season on the earth the Lord wants us to trust him and to enjoy it. Blessings to all who are reading this, hope you have a wonderful God filled day. God bless you!
