a joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house
empty of it's future, still treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in. Be grateful whoever comes, because each has been sent
guide from beyond.
-Rumi, 13th century poet
Something to think about!
This weekend was full of fun and wonderful new things, the sun was out Friday and Saturday and we went to pick up our new Turkeys, 9 of them, a Tom and a Hen and 7 baby's.
We will be butchering the baby Toms when they are full grown! We have already sold one to a guy we saw at the feed store! Jason had to clip the wings or they would try to fly.
I also made granola this weekend! I got my oats from winco in a 25lb bag for 10 bucks!
We get our milk down the road, from our neighbor, this is the real stuff folks, with the cream on top and the kiddos love it. I have been wanting to make butter with the cream, so the kiddos passed the jar around shaking it.........

You have to share your granola recipe.. We eat so much, and I should make it sometime.
Good post:) I need your granola recipe..it looks fab:)
(Darn I was just at Winco!!)
homemade butter too!!
You never cease to AMAZE me!
I think I need to come visit the farm, and bring my buff arms to shake up some butter! :)
I made my own, but I didn't squeeze all the butter milk out of it, so it got sour really fast. The butter stays fresh, but that butter milk is a fickle thing!
