Last Sunday afternoon our shearer came out to the farm to shear our sheep. We took advantage of having all the sheep in at one time and gave them the full treatment. We trimmed their feet, wormed them all and vaccinated the lambs. We had a good crew that kept everything running smoothly. After we were done it rained a bit, producing a beautiful rainbow above the barn!
Today we hosted our third annual Mother & Daughter Day. Our theme was on chickens from Matthew 23:37 “...how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings...” The ladies enjoyed a beautiful spring day together.
The craft was needle felting.
Here are a few of the finished projects.
The first development project is under way! We are building a 30’x 50’ pavilion which will provide a sheltered area for program events including an open house and concert in June, a community outreach in July and our church picnic and a wedding in August. A friend helped the last two days with setting posts and getting the rim joist up. A crew will be coming next week to help with the truses and roof.
The building site.
Dad always said work smarter not harder so I hired a local guy to drill the holes.
Gus got into the action.
Posts in place and set.
The progress that was made over the last two days.
Gus celebrated his third birthday with a motorcycle ride and a motorcycle cake made with love by his sisters.

Harvest Home Farm received this beautiful donation today. We hope that this piano will be used as an instrument of worship for years to come.
