Two years ago, on September 17, 2010, we closed on this property that would become Liberty Farm and our new home. It has been quite the adventure and we are amazed at how far God has brought us! We are so thankful for all of our blessings -- our family, our health, our freedoms, our God. We still have lots of ideas on the potential we have here to try new things and we're seeking the Lord for His wisdom and guidance. We pray that we bring Him glory in all that we do.
p.s. Talking about freedom....we hesitantly opened wide the door of the guineas' partition in the coop this past Sunday. We've been trying to "train" these wild, obnoxiously loud, and skittish birds, and are concerned about them flying away and never seeing them again, or that they will travel over to our neighbors' house and she will not be too happy. Fortunately, all six of the guineas are staying together with the chickens and have not left our property. We're hoping that will continue. They also come back to the coop with the chickens when it starts to get dark. Ashley in particular has done a fantastic job working with all of the birds -- they love her and come running when she calls them. It is entertaining to watch!
p.s.s. Update on the calves...Justice is quite naughty. She still will not let us pet her nor will she eat any of the grain treats we try to give her. She also head butts her water bucket, knocking it over when the water level is low enough. Patriot, on the other hand, comes running to us when he sees the bucket and lets us pet his back for a bit. He is much friendlier. They both have quieted down considerably. When they first arrived, they were quite the noisy pair!
