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.“
"Mommy Cow" was looking SO good in her blue halter when we dropped her off at her new temporary home. Mr. Bull was thoroughly impressed. We will leave her there 90 days (as cows ovulate every 21 days typically) in order to give her a few chances to get pregnant. It takes about the same time to bake a calf as a human child, so if all goes well, we should have a nice little Angus calf next Spring. Healthy hormones are very important for Mommy Cow - and same goes for us! I love the omega-3 benefits in my fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which are known to reduce inflammation, increase insulin sensitivity and balance hormones naturally.

We are sending "Mommy Cow" (as Lily named her) to a bull, so we chose a nice bright blue halter for her as she'll be in a herd with a bunch of other black cows. I got a cow halter and a horse halter because I wasn't sure what would fit best. I must say, she looks so purdy! If you want a shiny coat like Mommy Cow, don't forget to grab some fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which has been incredible for my nails, teeth and hair - truly! My dentist recently told me I have "very good teeth for 40." Use promo code "ALISON" at checkout for 10% off.
If you do self-care like Sassy, you will never need a vacation. Every morning she leaves the barn and heads right for her favorite itching post, a nice big old tree with plenty of shade and lots of exfoliating bark. Her facial expressions always seems like she is discovering it for the first time, despite having used it daily for years.
Speaking of self-care, love yourself enough to get a fish oil that really works because it’s mixed with a butter oil that compliments it for maximum absorption. Check out https://www.greenpasture.org/ and try the fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil blend from Green Pasture, which I have taken for over a decade. (Promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off). I used to get cavities all the time and cleared them simply with the vitamins A, D & K in this product. Love yourself like Sassy does!

No water to fight fires in Georgia! Residents told to cut back yet data centers have no restrictions - YouTube
And don't fall for claims about low water use data centers. They use more electricity. And guess what, it takes WATER to make electricity. They're consuming water via electricity generation. It just offsets the water use to the electrical generation location.
