Zinnia’s school had an egg hunt yesterday at which the “Easter Bunny” made an appearance. The Producer fled with her bucket, a similar reaction to the one she had at their Christmas party with Santa. I realized that she has an innate sense of facade, a trait kids seem to share. But adults tell them to stifle it, “come on it’s just fun,” and then when we get older we simply turn that into, “what are you, a conspiracy theorist?!” I have also noticed that The Producer has an innate desire to participate and help around the farm. I can see how parents would say, “I’ll just do it myself because kids are messy, awkward, take forever, etc” but once again we have discouraged what could turn into the curiosity of an adult who is engaged in his or her community. Just some thoughts on this Easter weekend. Being a parent continues to teach me so much about why Jesus said, “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” For those of you celebrating the empty tomb today, hosanna! One of my favorite verses in John is the very last line, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.“
There was a manhunt for an attempted murder suspect around the farm last weekend. I was out feeding the chickens, bringing animals in for the night, when I noticed a helicopter hovering above my head and sheriff vehicles driving down the road. At the same time a friend sent me an alert from the Sheriff’s Office saying to stay indoors because they were combing our neighborhood for 2 people in connection with a shooting. The teenage suspect had fled the scene with a friend and ended up two doors down from us. It was a 16-year old who got into some kind of domestic dispute with his mother‘s boyfriend or husband and shot him in the face. That man is in critical condition now and the 16-year old is in jail. Terrible story and a reminder you can move out to the country expecting peace and quiet - but anything can happen, anywhere. Stay safe everyone!
We are a brand new rodeo family and had never heard of mutton bustin’ until a few months ago. Kids aged 6 or younger try to ride a sheep as a precursor to bull riding. Most kids fall off within a second or two. The kid at the end of this video is going pro, mark my words. He is 6 and his parents tell me he already wants to ride bulls.
The chicken coop took flight again. We have had some Arctic weather blast through Florida and it was windy for a few hours. I did not think it was windy enough to send the chicken coop airborne but, Lily came running inside saying the hens were loose, and sure enough, they had “flown the coop” when the coop flew. This happened last April during an afternoon storm. It really doesn’t make sense to ratchet the coop down everyday, it would take so much extra time moving it. Just one of those things you have to think about when you decide to do a mobile chicken coop.
Impeding peaceful worship.

That checkerboard floor is talking. And it's talking about "another jesus".
All the same, the intruders should be prosecuted. No matter who the people work for.
