{Giving thanks}

As a community of farmers that gathers great strength from our spiritual practices, we give thanks for our families, friends, community and the abundant blessings we receive each day.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you. Speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea tell you. Every one of these knows that the hand of the Lord has done this. The life of every creature and the breath of all people are in God’s hand.” Job 12:7-10

Marsha Showalter of Sundial Dairy II sent in this image. This is the first litter from one of their Red Heelers, Molly. Micah, who is on the Chocolate milk label holding Molly as a puppy, looked down at her and said " I'm going to take good care of your puppy."

Cold day today with more snow and bitter winds forecast for later. A good day to sit inside with a cup of tea. Elise Trissel sent this picture of the view of the farm outside the window.

It has been cold in the valley with the recent storms. Photographer Elise Trissel sent us these pictures from the family farm as the fields lie dormant under the newly fallen snow. Thank you all for your expressions of support and prayers for the farmers.

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. ~ Proverbs 12:25
