The Bakers, down from the mountains ...

"The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In."
Isa 58:11-12,

Jay and his horse - Cocoa

Cocoa came to us in early 2012.  He was a rescue horse - actually, he is a Hackney Pony of about 25 years of age, but with lots of spunk.  Cocoa belongs to Jay!
Here is Jay up close with Cocoa.





And here is Jay riding Cocoa:


Oh, how can we possibly forget about you, Fender puppy?

Now here is Jay riding Cocoa:






Amen and amen.

Winter views

Here is the view out Mimi's new kitchen window - she likes it very much.




Farm update

Well, we have spent many months thinking about what name we want to call our new farm.  Many of you have heard some of our thoughts in this area.  We finally have selected it:
Wellspring Meadows Farm

Secondly, we have enlarged our farm this week with the addition of a 2 month old Guernsey heifer.  Her name is Blossom - isn't she beautiful?

This is Blossom with Mimi at the farm in Virginia where we purchased her.  She had been with a wonderful family in the Blue Ridge Mountains who helped us "cow handling rookies" immensely.  The boys made some stall changes in the barn to accommodate our new family member.  

If you are in the neighborhood, drop in and see what we have cooking. :)
