Life on the Farm Take 1

So most of you know, I live on a little piece of land in Lakehills Texas. Podunk USA. I LOVE it here. Its far enough to get away from the city, but just close enough that I can go and see my dad and sister when I feel like it. I actually wouldn't mind moving a little further out, but really, one dream at a time is all I seem to be managing these days. So Jenny and I live on about 5 acres, give or take, of land. We rent, but our landlords are so cool about everything, there are days when I feel like this piece of land is our own. So I call it our little farm on Wrong Way Lane. Which really couldn't be a more perfect name...because we are wrong in a lot of ways. We have more animals than we know what to do with but we love them all. We are about to acquire a goat...lets see how that adventure unfolds. Axle needs a friend and really a goat is the cheapest option. Life out in the country is supposed to be easy, and slow and relaxing...but I don't think I have ever had an easy, slow, relaxing day. There is always something to do. Something is either dying or being born or stuck in a fence or wounded or something that calls us to take care of whatever God decides to throw our way. And most days, Jenny and myself, attempt to do this with a grace that sometimes leaves us. There seems to be a lot death lately so to ease the pain, I see if I can hit landmarks when I throw bodies over the fence. I told my boss this and I really should have taken a picture of her face. But death isn't sad to me...it just makes way for new lives that the spring will inevitably bring.
