Sometimes that gratitude is the biggest reminder of God, I think!<br /><br />We are up to 25 lambs and only two more ewes to lamb before we are done. LOL, I think that's alot and it is to a small farm but my nephew has 100!!! We're getting more "normal" spring weather back here in Michigan and I'm grateful for that.Cary ~ My Wool Mitten at Serenity Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349458644831264576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734212335740153332.post-52502163951696219122012-03-26T08:57:34.665-07:002012-03-26T08:57:34.665-07:00David,

What brought me swinging back was that I was walking around with this gratitude I couldn't shake..for the trees budding out, the grass greening up, the clean sweeping winds....I had to ask myself who I was thanking internally so constantly. That by another name we call God.Mr.and Mrs. Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188979181083669625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734212335740153332.post-51012416896276751582012-03-26T08:56:16.241-07:002012-03-26T08:56:16.241-07:00David, lovely comment, thanks!

Hurrah! I love the evening lamb romps, where they all band together in a gang and tear around the pasture.Mr.and Mrs. Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188979181083669625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734212335740153332.post-36155638323332620512012-03-16T05:01:08.682-07:002012-03-16T05:01:08.682-07:00Every time I read (and marvel) at your beautiful a...Every time I read (and marvel) at your beautiful and thoughtful writings, I wish again that I had "discovered" you all while you were still in Michigan ;) LOL...<br /><br />Wonderful photos, too. The busy time of the year begins, doesn't it? We have nineteen lambs on the ground and six more ewes to go. Thinking of your cheese makes my stomach rumble ;) Have a beautiful day!Cary ~ My Wool Mitten at Serenity Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349458644831264576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734212335740153332.post-78016093320249220472012-03-14T13:50:13.821-07:002012-03-14T13:50:13.821-07:00Yesterday I was walking in the woods with my daugh...Yesterday I was walking in the woods with my daughter and babbling on about the light, the leaves slowly unfurling from buds on the trees, the tiny flowers in the sunlit patches, and how amazing it all was, and I realized that it's "just" spring and it happens every year. I've seen forty of them. But it still is amazing. (Lucky for me she is only eight and thinks so too.) The more time I spend in the woods trying to understand how it all works, and the more I understand about it, the greater a mystery it seems. It was that that booted me finally out of my long atheist period, and in particular the sudden recognition of a smattering of bluets by the roadside as grace, a notion that had never made sense to me before, but there they were, no one had planted them, just an "I love you anyway" amid the fast-food wrappers. But to see God's grace in a wildflower has only made me want to understand the science of flowers and plants and trees more thoroughly. Faith ought to inspire reason and give it purpose, not eviscerate it.<br /><br />(I suppose it may be characteristic of me that I would find God in a pile of trash. That just struck me, apropos of nothing.)<br /><br />And I love your baby goats, by the way.
