Temps were cool here today, but the sun was shining.  I headed outside the camera.  Here is a little peak of what's happening around the farm.  It's Maple Syrup season!  And we boiled a batch down today.  The guys build a different stove out of materials we had laying around the farm.  Nothing like fresh syrup! ☺ Meanwhile other animals were enjoying the sunshine: What was the cat watching?  The boys- can you guess what they are planning?? Plan A: Plan B: Still lots of snow here, but as you can see in this picture, there is water running on top of the creek. Spring is on it's way.  Saturday night is pizza night around here, but if you think you want to join us, you had better bring your own pizza, because we demolished all 4 of these for supper tonight... Yum- homemade pizza is the best!  As you know from my last post, we didn't get to hold a music night this evening...

Hello from the farm, It's seems to be the norm these days: this, that, and the other thing all are getting cancelled/postponed. And unfortunately our monthly town hall music night has to be added to that list. Our governor has banned public meetings of over ten people and since we are 8, 9 with Charlie.... I guess one person could have a private concert. :)    In the midst of it all we encourage you to listen to less news and more music!  Here are the lyrics to a song we have recently learned.  How good it is to know that God has the whole situation and us in His hands. He’s Already There Darin and Brooke Aldridge  (one of our favorite artists!)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5g6q3eNiBI Never been a day when I went hungry, Never had a night I had no place to sleep, Never had a prayer that went unanswered, You might be wondering how that could be, Well I’m right here, living in the moment, To tell the truth, I just don’t re...

I hope y'all enjoyed Feb 29th and  having an extra day in the year! ;) I (Emily) am finally getting around to sharing some more recent pictures of the puppies and the results of Matt's 2020 racing season. Matt ran two races with his team this year (the same two races he ran last year.) He was hoping to run a race with a longer mileage this year, but he smashed his thumb wide open (fracturing it and having to get several stitches) just 2 weeks before the first race, which affected his training. So he opted to run shorter races- thumb brace and all. Race #1 went pretty well, the weather was plenty warm (which was nice for camping but not so nice for the dogs). The trail was softer and slower than last year. However, the team still did the run 6 minutes faster than last year, finishing in just under an hour. The start of the race.... (Photo credit: Mom who walked down the trail to take this picture.) The end of the race: it was a race down the home stretch. Th...
