To farm or not to farm!

To farm or not to farm. Wow, what a question. We moved 80% of our belongings to our "new" place, the farm in previous posts. After being mostly there I was speaking to one of our new neighbor's and found out that he was the board of health commissioner. He stated that with our family size we would have to put in a completely new septic and all new lines. After checking things out I found that he was indeed correct. At the tune of $30,000.00. We decided that it was, again time to pray! After a lot of prayer we came to the conclusion that, since we had not sold our place in Bluffton, we would just move back. So a week later here we are still in Bluffton. At first we were a little dismayed and wondered why things turned out this way, but we still had a peace about everything. We still plan to sell our place here in Bluffton as soon as we can find something else. Pray for us, we are praying about starting a new ministry. Tasha and I were up late in the night last night with God as He was sketching out just what the ministry might look like. More to come in the next few weeks and months as God unfolds HIS plan for our lives. It is exciting indeed to dream of what God can do!!

Who's who?

Dreams really do come true!!

I wasn't really thinking a lot about buying a farm. In fact I am pretty sure I didn't want much to do with it. Then Tasha and I got married and she started "working" on me. After almost ten years I am starting to catch her vision. Well, truth be known, it is a bit more than that. I can't wait!!!! to get to the farm. (Next week) I suppose you are thinking that the title of this post, as well as the first paragraph, will lead into my talking about the farm being the "dream come true." Well, just to keep you guessing.... You are wrong! My "dream come true" is Tasha



Ha! Surprised you didn't I? I suppose that some women tolerate their husbands and don't mind being a mother. Tasha more than tolerates me......... she loves spending time with me. She loves going places with me. She will even watch over my shoulder as I try to explain things such as, why I love cars, or action movies ( Lord of the Rings) or why it is important not to have the ash borer beattle in our trees. (Just kidding about that one.) All joking aside, I could not have asked God for a more remarkable women to share even the silly things I love, with. I have seen her grow so much in the last ten years. She is a truly marvelous mother, I know five children that are very fortunate to call her "Mommy" (Never MOM!!:) I grow to love you more every day darling. Thank you for being the incredible spouse that God knew I needed.


I love you deeply!

This place is going to the Dogs (Literally)

Well, Tasha told everyone that Tanner would be getting a pup. We finally got some good pictures of her.

This is our smallish little lady, "LILLY" she is a fullblooded Mini Schnauzer. She should be getting her "beard" about the same time she comes home to live with us. She will be coming home in about three weeks, as soon as she is weaned. Tanner intends to have her ready for the 4H dog show next year. (July 2009) I am sure that we will have pics of that event when it happens.


Tanner and Lilly.



We intend on starting a goat farm once we get settled. This is a BOER goat and they are somewhat in high demand. Now , I was thinking, (Dangerous, I know) when our herd gets up to 30 or 40 percent does, and its time for me to inoculate (give shots) to 30 or 40 beautiful little girls, I DO NOT want to be chasing them all over the pasture to "round them up" to the barn. So.... we decided we should look into getting a working dog with "herding" instincts. We found a perfect dog and brought him home a day or two ago. He is half Border Collie, and half Australian Shepard. He is a very smart little guy (only 11 weeks old) we are seeing that he is VERY trainable already. I intend to visit another goat farm in the area as much as possible to let him interact with the goats. (W won't get our first Boer goat until August.) I will also be starting his "formal" training next week. Pray for me, I don't know who needs training more, the pup or me! Oh yeah, his name is "Logo". :-)








Like I said, This place is really going to the dogs!!!! (and we love it:)
