is a tough word for a farmer. This year, we are only getting 6 % of water. We have to watch a lot of our fields die. We are only able to get one good cutting of Alfalfa, maybe two. It's hard. But God is always faithful and He always provides in His timing...and not a moment to soon. It takes trust...to trust Him to provide for what you are lacking. It takes faith...to carry on and still have the joy of the Lord. It takes hope...to believe that next year will be a better farm year. Yet, I can already see the blessing in this year being a drought. Leighton and I have a lot more time together and opportunity to get our house in order. We have a little more freedom to get all of that done. It is a blessing in a way. :)
But, in spite of a drought, I truly am loving life on the farm! It's a lot of fun with all the different equipment. Being able to work alongside with Leighton is my favorite part. We have made a lot of memories... especially in the Squeeze. (I do believe that is my favorite piece of equipment. :)
