New little additions ..baby chicks

It time of excitements around here again ...little chicks are hatching every day, Iris discovered the first one a few days ago... right now we have 5 chicks so far, the 2 mama hens have at least 20 eggs under each one so we are going to see how many God will bless us with this time.
Well, the past few days we worked on moving the 2 big, metal horse shades and the big tack shed to another location in our back yard so now we have a complete un-interrupted view of the Superstition Mountain in our back yard besides we are putting up a very large round pen so we can exercise the horses and practice riding them in a safe place.

Today was the first day we felt that summer is really here, we turned the air conditioner on, it felt good!

Our garden is full of blessing especially tomatoes of all sizes and kinds, Nellie is our fruit and veggie picker, she is always thrilled when I ask her to please go and pick some veggies. But, her favorite thing lately is to sit by the goat that I milk and squirt milk in her mouth as I am milking the goat.

Before You Meet Prince Charming

I have been praying very hard for the past few months that God would give me wisdom and understanding in the way I should be helping Iris become the godly young woman that God wants her to be, so I found this book and the title "Before You Meet Prince Charming" LOOKED VERY INTERESTING, I ordered the book and we started reading it together, (love doing that with her), I found it to be exactly what I was seeking to teach her printed in the pages of this wonderful book in a very realistic, interesting, and funny way and the best thing in this book is that it mentions HORSES, so for Iris it became interesting!
There is so much in this book, it is loaded with great stories, insights and verses that are just right for her age and the season of life she is in.
Today we read about the topic of dating, the book listed 6 dangers of dating, oh that was good!!
besides it has so much about courtship too(God's way to find your future spouse)
I believe every young woman need and should read this book over and over so she can learn God's way is better than the world way and that God is able to bring couples together in marriages.
So do I believe in arranged marriages?
YES I DO, God is able to arrange marriages for the individuals that obey HIS WORD and wait patiently on HIM.
