I don't know why God allows bad things to happen sometimes? Doesn't it seem that the bad things come in waves? This past weekend had me asking, why?....A LOT. We said goodbye to Pilot on Friday. His kidneys just gave out on him and it was time. Heart wrenching, would describe that whole day. Then, a simple Sunday test drive in Dusty's new car turned bad, very bad. Jess, Dusty and Jason all (eventually) walked away, but those three minutes that it took me to get from the house to the wreck, took 10 years off my life. I never want to do that again!
I don't know why any of this had to happen, but I do know that Pilot is not in pain anymore and he will never have another bad day. I know my son and husband are alive, only because God is good! God has a plan and I won't even pretend to know what that is or how he will use us to bring about His will. Things are crazy right now EVERYWHERE and we tend to see the bad, but God is at work and like my very wise mom told me yesterday, "God is doing 10 million things and we only see 3". I'm thanking God today for His protection and His plan!❤ Be safe everyone and hug your husband and kids.❤❤❤ #godisgood

It's day 19 and we have some pipping and peeping going on in the incubator! We have hatched ducklings and goslings before, but this is our first time hatching chicks. I have a feeling that even when it's our 50th time it will still be exciting! #nevergetsold #chicks #hatchingeggs #incubator #chickenmom #homesteading #homesteadlife #farmanimals #futureegglayers #modernhomesteading

She has gotten big enough to be a royal pest! Anyone who's ever had a bottle baby knows what I mean!😄 She's a keeper though. 🥰

I love candling eggs! Gods creation just fascinates me.🙂 We put 21 eggs in and 18 are fertile and growing. 10 more days to go! 🐣🐤🐥

That guy, the one on the left with his head buried in the ground. He went to the vet on Tuesday. Dispite a small infection on his nose from a gopher bite, he is great! Our veterinarian can't believe how well he's doing and even said he's a miracle! His kidneys are functioning better and all but one of his symptoms of kidney failure are gone! She even asked us for the homemade dog food recipe we've been using. If you are interested in making homemade dog food I put the recipe on my stories today and added it to our highlights for future reference!

Cats have a very important roll around here. They eat LOTS of mice! Many years ago we found ourselves with no cats. Almost immediately the mice moved into our house and this mama does NOT do mice😱. We quickly acquired a few cats and the mice disappeared!😽 I don't ever want to have a cat shortage again😂! New kittens are always a happy site. This mama only had one and we've been waiting for her to introduce him! 😻 #futuremouser #barncats #kitten #homesteading #ruralliving #farmanimals #homesteadlife

Meet Lucy! Our neighbor called last night and asked if we would like a bottle baby. Josie claimed her immediately! Lucy is a Katahdin lamb. She has hair not wool and that's just fine with me. Sheep shearing is not a skill I wish to acquire😂! She is eating great but not walking much yet. I think she will be all over the place in a few days though😍. #themorethemerrier #homesteading
