Jump start

Sheared another doe this morning, a very pretty light caramel doe out of Sassparilla. Maybe 6 more to shear.  Got a jump start on tomorrow's big meal late this afternoon. Made sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, cookies, 2 gallons of sweet tea, biscuits and corn bread for the dressing. Tomorrow  I'll cook the turkey and bake an apple pie after feeding and caring for the sheep and goats, that always comes first, even on holidays, can't concentrate on anything until I make sure all is well at the barns and everyone is happily eating their hay. So much to be thankful for, as always on a farm there are so many blessings, everyday. And you know it's not anything you could ever do, there is a God that keeps you humble and thankful. I've seen so many miracles of the first breath of a lamb or kid or calf or colt, and held them in my arms when they took their last breath. I used to cry for days and tell myself if I had done this or that I could have saved that one. It took me a long time to figure out, I have no control of this life. All the things that happen to you make you who you are, just be glad to have had the time living the life you love.
