...and He has brought it to pass.

God, in His great wisdom and by His mighty hand, has brought about a transition for our farm and family. In early May, Blair, the human kids and I relocated to the mountains of Harman, West Virginia, along with 4 dogs, 2 bucks, 5 does, and 3 kids. We have had great support from our family, church, and our new friends, and have in a short time constructed a well-winterized barn in a fenced winter pasture, and are finalizing plans to construct kidding pens for our 4 does due to kid in January. We have celebrated 6 birthdays, seen our first blizzard, experienced the miracle of 4 kiddings, and watched a litter of Holly's puppies come, grow, and go to their new homes. Blair has worked hard to split a good supply of wood and, with help from our generous landlord, fence a winter pasture, build a 16x16 run-in, and make lots of other improvements, both inside and outside here. School was very challenging for me, but was a lot of fun and intensive learning for all of us. The children have taken on a large part of the daily feeding and watering of the animals, and the herd and their guardian angels are healthy and happy. Stay tuned for my next update, with photos of the Christmas preparations and the winter kidding stalls.
