After I had spoken, they spoke no more;
my words fell gently on their ears.
They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face was precious to them
my words fell gently on their ears.
They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.
When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face was precious to them

Limper and Copper are our very first cows that we ever had, they are also the two last cows that need to give birth to babies. Last year we had to bottle feed Copper's baby as her milk bag split and the baby refused to drink. Hopefully we will not have this problem or any problem this year. So far we have only lost two babies and have had no bottle feeding to do!
Star and John are two of our 12 horses that get to roam near the house because they were the skinniest of all the horses coming out of the winter and into the spring. John acquired lice, yuck, and he lost almost all of his hair. Seriously he looked like one of those hairless cats but worse because he was a hairless horse! He is feeling much better and quite spry for an older horse of 25. Star is a persnickety horse and no one likes to ride him. John on the other hand, is the very best horse ever! Everyone wants to take him out for a ride. He is smooth, fast, tall and has a real sweet nature. I was very sad to see him feeling so sick and was a bit concerned that we were going to lose him, but he has turned around and is frolicking like a yearling! So cute to see the two of these guys bucking and rearing.
Hosea 6:2-3 NIV
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”

James 5:6-8 NIV
Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
