We got to go to church today, meaning we are no longer snow bound. We have had 3 days of sunshine. Yes, the snow is still there but melting slowly. Maybe tomorrow the chickens will venture out. We love our Sundays and working with so many amazing people in the addiction recovery programs. We are so blessed to touch other’s lives as they touch ours.
We were so excited today. We met new families at church that just moved in. One of them wanted land but could not find any and one bought an 80 acre farm. We talked and talked about our animals and our desire to grow our food. It is so nice to have like-minded people where homesteading is concerned. We look forward to many fun times.
