Storms are A'Brewin'

The weather has cooled off by several degrees today. Although the humidity is still rather high, you can tell that fall is on its way. Arriving soon will be cool, crisp days, yet still full of warm sunshine as the leaves change into brilliant colors!

Trey finished the chicken house yesterday. It is complete from gates and ramps to gutters and doors. All in all, it is a work well done. The rabbitry on the front houses some of our New Zealand breedstock.

Adorning the outside of the building, is a rustic sign that Rachel painted advertising our "Farm Fresh Eggs."

The Rhode Island Reds are enjoying the garden. We opened the area up so that they could run in and scratch to their heart's content. The bugs and insects are running for cover- much to no avail!

Trey and Mark worked on the Ford 8N this evening, overhauling the hydraulic system.



They were enjoying a moment in mechanics together as they contemplated the next move to make.



The clouds began to build as we proceeded with the evening farm chores. We have had several light rains off and on for a few days, but this storm that was a'brewin' looked like it would last for a while. It is yet to get here, but it is on its way.



The sun outlined the storm clouds in the west with pure gold. It truly was a sight to behold!



Gracing the sky in the east, we beheld a small rainbow, reminding us of God's promise to never flood the earth again! What a wonderful way to end our day.
