New Mercies

This time of year there is practically a new baby born every morning! Calving season is underway. Husband is going to bed checking cows and waking up checking for babies. Who doesn’t like waking up to a new baby every morning?

Life has been busy and lots of things have changed for us. My creative side has been just about buried and when I finally “hear” something to write about, I just can’t find the time or energy. I was honestly considering closing the blog site down. What even is there new to write about anymore? I’ve written on just about everything on the farm and who is even reading this anymore?

Well, it’s no surprise that hurricane season has started and we have had a tropical depression/ storm already! We aren’t quite sure how much rain we had during the storn, since the rain gauge was overflowing, but it was somewhere around 8-10 inches! There’s a lot of water!

As husband went to drive across the spillway, I had him stop so I could take a picture. As always, that still small voice was speaking and this time I was listening.

Not sure about your area of the world, but around here, we have had A LOT of rain! Lately, we have been experiencing not only some heavy rain, but some pretty big storms as well. We are generally accustomed to storms; we have lived with hurricane seasons all of our lives, but these storms lately have been quite unusual. We have definitely not been saying, “let it rain!”

During hurricane season 2020, we had about 11 trees that were blown over and had to be stood back up and staked down, along our driveway. After one storm last week (not a hurricane), we had to stand 8 trees back up that the wind had blown over even though they were already staked down. Along with the wind, we have had a lot of rain. Each time the weather has been rough, we have gotten several inches of rain. I have really been tired of the rain, especially.
