"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope". Jeremiah 29:11


Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:28b-34

Pulling Taps & Collecting Sap Buckets

Today my friend Wren and her children came to my rescue and helped me pull taps and gather up all the buckets and barrels out of the woods and bring them back to the barn to be washed and stored. Prince was a very good boy, and made four trips without too much fuss.

The kids taking a whittling break from picking up bucket. What good workers they are!


Wren was determined to get all the barrels on one load. She got them all strung on with baling twine. They all stayed on until we got home. It looks like a gypsy wagon!



I am very thankful for my friends. Wren and her children are so fun to work with-the day flew by; we got a lot of done and had a great time doing it!
