Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

More than 10 years ago , my Mother-in-Love Bonnah Lyn  presented me

with this blooming crab apple tree. Even though it's a bit crooked 

from a couple of bad storms causing a twist and loss of a  few branches,

you can't help but enjoy its beauty during the period of blooming 

and the sweet memories of my tree loving mother-in-law. 

There's a lot of assurance and hope in the unfolding of spring

 and  the routine  of daily life down on the dairy farm.

The impact of COVID-19 has removed alot of our normal in everyday

life but it can not remove our joy and hope!

I'm thankful that we are able to continue milking the cows, 

feeding the cows and calves  and producing high-quality milk

that feeds families in our community.

"Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually

grant you peace in every circumstance."

                   --II Thessalonians 3:16

Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

In the late afternoon on a beautiful spring day in Northwest Arkansas ,

 there's nothing more peaceful than watching the dairy cows graze or rest in the field. 

 This new calf was born in the early hours this morning 

after a terrific wind and  thunderstorm.

                                 I'm thankful for this picture of peace down on the dairy farm
                                      that serves as  a reminder  there is calm after any storm.

The fog thickened as we were feeding calves this morning.

 As I looked at the cows resting in the pasture, it was beautiful in an odd way.

For me it was  a  moment of peace in a crazy week.

                                            I'm thankful for the peaceful God-given moments
                                                                down on the dairy farm.
