Easter Garden

Plant an Easter Garden! Using potting soil, a tiny buried flower pot for the tomb, shade grass seed, & crosses made from twigs. Sprinkle grass seed generously on top of dirt, keep moistened using a spray water bottle. Spritz it several times a day. Set it in a warm sunny location. Sprouts in 7-10 days so plan ahead. The tomb is EMPTY! He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! ♥

Love

 ¹"If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸ Love never fails..."

Springtime Animals

This is Joel's Pyranees, Indy. He takes good care of our sheep herd, and is a gentle giant!

We have 6 adorable Shih-Poo puppies in our living room right now! They are all looking for new homes.

Introducing "Sassafras", or "Sassy" for short. =) Joel got her for me as an early birthday gift! She's very laid back and loves attention. I can't wait to ride her around the farm this summer!

Isn't this little fella adorable? So cuddly and such soft, sweet eyes! Ben's Lab had 11 puppies and we are trying to sell them. Indy is the father! =)
