I am about ready to go back to using it as I did when mail carried by trucks and planes was our only option. No we didn't know every detail of everyone's every waking moment . . . but er, do we really need to? Our day is full too. Even with downsize I still have 11 goats in my care and I have increased my chickens. As I get older I have found that chicken wrangling is easier then being a goat wrangler. And I have a family about 12 miles from me with 12 children who purchase my eggs. Sometimes with cash sometimes with barter. Got bags and bags of the sweetest walnuts for a few weeks of eggs. So my outside day begins with critter care. Geoffrey not too far behind me . He is still being treated for his illness so his mornings take him a bit longer to organize. He spends his day with gathering wood for our heat and other this and that's he can manage in between those still all important naps to help him stay on course. Baking often happens and I am spinning, weaving and knitting too. I love being on our 42 acres of Paradise so much that this week when I found myself having to go into town three days in a row for business I found myself feeling very resentful. I felt as if I were being robbed of precious time. Stay warm my friend.

Yes, we need to work and keep busy - I guess, I just don't understand the lack of work ethic. It is God's will that we work hard at whatever it is we do - including ministry. We were up on Hwy 2 yesterday, I thought of you as we turned left to Ashland and not right to the UP.
