"When faced with an unplanned pregnancy, teens need to realize the decisions they make are permanent and will affect them for the rest of their lives. Abortion may seem like the only choice, and the easiest way out, but abortion is permanent. There is no bringing back a dead baby.
This "Life Quote" is from Lutherans For Life

Saturday Farm Report
A busy, but fun day. We started out at a dog clinic; a 4H meeting of kids "doing dogs," this one had demonstrations of sled dogs and hunting dogs. John and I spent it at Starbuck's. Trust me, they were better off without us, decaffeinated as we were!
We hit several garden centers on the way to visit Mom. This weekend, I've planted gazania, edelweiss, sedum, dahlias, lupines, delphiniums, dianthus, foxglove and gaillardia. I have tons of pictures, but will share them next week. I also moved some lilies and some lavender, and planted sage, peppers and one other edible...why I can't remember is beyond me!
Played with my horse today; just brushing, feeding apples and, oh yeah, deworming. She LOVES that. Here's a picture, not of her, but of another horse reacting as she did this afternoon when she got her dose. It's hard not to laugh when you see that!

There Is Hope
Not always in agreement with the makers of this video, but it was just what I needed today. Thanks to my darling daughter for telling me about it!

Pro-Life Corner
"Who has more influence on the Church: the Word or the world? Theories of evolution don't mix with the Truth of creation (Genesis 1:1; 27) Arousing love before its time (Song of Solomon 3:5b) is contrary to love that is patient (I Corinthians 13:4), pure (I Thessalonians 4:7, I Timothy 4:12) and procreative. Although Satan wanted woman to be the mother of death, God directed man to name his wife Eve because she would become the mother of all the living."

Saturday Farm Report
I'm sorry. We've been back and forth to two hospitals with my mom over the past two weeks, and I've lost my steam. Blogging is beyond me for a bit.
Suffice it to say that the farm is still chugging along. We have new chicks, new sheep and a new dog. New pigs and turkeys are just around the corner. Pictures will be posted.
For now, I'm off to curl up in front of the TV with a dish of ice cream. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or Strawberry? That is the deepest decision I can handle tonight.

A Day Like Any Other Day...Almost....
So today we were supposed to get the yard work done, eat lunch at Joe's, and head in to visit my mom. We didn't see Mom, and we didn't get all the yard work done.
Some people went shopping for things like rat poison and sheep feed, and didn't get that all done until -gasp- 12:30 (But there was a physical therapy appointment in there, too!)
Some people didn't drag their sorry carcasses out of bed until 12:45. I'm not sayin' who (MatthewandKeri.)
Surprisingly, one of us actually did some yardwork, yanking all the lambs' quarters out of my flower bed and putting away all the clean dishes, just like she was asked! (Thank you, Miss Mary!)
Also surprisingly, after lunch, when we went into Corbin's for a sight-seeing trip, we found an intriguing sign on the bulletin board. Seems someone had bought a puppy from Corbin's last fall, and discovered since that they are allergic to him. This ten-month-old sweetie was house broken, neutered, had all his shots, and they were offering him to a good home for free. So the Jack Russell terrier/Fox terrier cross puppy formerly known as Jack has come to live with us. We have named him Jip. (Because his name and our command for getting dogs to keep paws off humans, "Off!" well, you say them together and you'll understand the name change!)
John is pretty sure that his new owners didn't really have allergies. He's pretty sure that they quickly figured out that their small house and a Jack terrier mix just couldn't coexist harmoniously. But he has plenty of room to run around, and plenty to do here. He'll be happy.
Tomorrow we're introducing him to rats...

Saturday Farm Report
Today on the farm....some of us have been off of it! Mary and her friend, Lindsay, participated in a 4H Horse Judging Clinic. Mary finished 6th in the County; not as good as last year, but still respectable. I mean, how many kids want to give up a Saturday to learn something?
Some things on the farm were accomplished today, mostly cleaning. And we now have sheep again! Houdini (guess what his main skill is?) and Hermione. She may be staying with us; Houdini will, too, but he'll be in little white packages in the freezer.
We got the chance to head to the hospital and watch the Kentucky Derby with Mom. Matthew and Keri came up from Oklahoma to see her, so we'll head to dinner in a bit. Then a movie.
Another exciting day on the farm!!
