Well yesterday we tackled farm chores. One of my least favorite farm chores is taking the colts to be gelded. It is just something I do not like to do. But domestic animals must be domesticated and gelded horses are easier and safer around children for the most part, so it needs to be done. But you know what? Even the most unpleasant chore can become pleasant when you ask folks to pray ahead of time. Which is what we did. Even the Amish guy who helped was really nice, where as they are usually more just “business as usual”. Things went very smooth. We had a great time of fellowship with some new friends that are now the proud owners of one of our colts, and it was just a really good day. For those of you who aren’t interested in the behind the scenes workings of a horse farm, I will spare you the details of the process of gelding a colt. You might find todays tackles a little more interesting. This is on my schedule for today.

Amen to the prayer!!
Penny, how did you learn to do all these things?? You once told me you were an urban California girl– but you seem so suited to the simple, godly country life. Do you have an e-book or blog about your story?
I lived on a mountain for a few years as a kid– my parents left suburban life as so many young families did during the “Back to Basics” 80s. I left the mountains when I grew up. I didn’t have a very pleasant family life back then, but I sorely miss the country living and being self-sufficient.
