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.“
I was truly amazed to witness Soleil, one of our mama goats, standing beside her kid when she got her head stuck in the fence. I first noticed something was wrong when I saw Soleil standing there, bellowing across the pasture to the other goats. Then I noticed her kid. Soleil stood there the entire time, in the hot sun, until her baby was free. Share this with a mama who doesn’t run when life gets tough.
And don’t forget to tell her about the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which I’ve taken for 15 years. Motherhood can suck the nutrition right out of us, and this has helped me with chronic cavities, inflammation, energy and immune response. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at checkout. Happy belated Mother’s Day!
I noticed recently that a box of MREs in our feed room has been untouched by rodents despite the ravenous way they chew through the animal feed containers. The MREs were issued to my husband when he was in the USMC. I have no clue why we still have them but it certainly caught my attention. Only the best for our service members, right? Semper fi!
EDIT: since I have been getting so many comments on other platforms that they just can’t smell through the packaging, I want to add that they eat through boxes in our barn that have no food inside them, this includes camping gear, Styrofoam, towels, fertilizer. You name it.
If you ate that stuff, or you’re just looking for a nutritional boost, grab the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ for gut repair. It has helped me with a lot, not the least of which has been going from chronic cavities to quick and easy dental exams. LINK IN BIO. Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off!
A few months ago I put our buck Tod in with the ladies so he could breed our mini Nubian dairy goat, Sundae. However, as is typical for my plans, it didn’t go as I’d hoped and Tod spent most of his time fighting with our alpha doe, Heidi. Though I figured my baby goat aspirations had been thwarted, I think Tod still snuck in a goal with Sundae because she is looking pretty fat right now but he didn’t waste any time getting back to the boxing ring.
And in case you ever find yourself boxing with a miniature goat, they are pretty tenacious so best to build up your strength with sacred foods like the fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil from https://www.greenpasture.org/ which healed my cavities 15 years ago. The omega-3 benefits reduce inflammation and give your bones a boost. Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off.
