Joys of blogging and Lydia

 As you may know, things aren't always rosy in bloggerville.  This morning I cannot get these pictures to move for anything, so they'll just have to stay mixed up.  Anyway, this morning I rode out to the pasture with Jacob to check on, "The cow," as she has been called since Friday.  Here he is driving me in our piece of junk, Dodge Ram.

When we got out to the cow, whom I learned through her BT session yesterday is named Lydia, Jacob fed her a pail of oats.  You can see the snow in the background yet on the second of May.  Hardly any fieldwork is done yet, so it's going to be a late year.

I got this closeup of Lydia's surgery.  It's swollen about an inch above the surface of the body and looks really nasty.  Please continue your prayers for Lydia and all of the farmers who are stressed out with all of the storms this Spring.  At least it's a lovely day today. 

When we got back from feeding Lydia, Jacob went to work greasing up the new tractor.  Here he is in the cab looking in the owner's manual to see where all of the grease zurks are on the thing.  Can you tell that Jacob REALLY likes this tractor?

Please be in prayer for my newest project which is coordinating a radionics class.  We've had nothing but trouble trying to get a hotel.  I had no idea that Jehovah's Witnesses are such a large group.  They have every hotel room in Bismarck taken for the night which is our last day of class.  I know that the Lord will work something out for us, as this is HIS work.  The mystery, though, is trying to figure out exactly what He has in mind at times.  Of course, that it what makes life so interesting!   :)

Love to all you who serve the Lord,

Dawn

PS.  Don't ask me why half way through this post we switched to center alignment.  If I knew that, I would fix it.  Any advice anyone?
