“Angel Song Acres” – Le~blog
Hello Dear Fans of *Angel Song Acres*!
Today is “Back to School” for my two oldest grandsons Deron-8-1/2 and Nathan-6, and it is the FIRST day of pre-school for Logan-4, but “OH What A Summer We Shared Together” – and we added the new baby-girl “Cailyn” to our tribe over the summer!!!!
Summer days of chasing butterflies are nearly gone!
The Summer WILL Come To An End Soon…
Yes, just as surely as the sun goes down each evening these hot summer days will fade and a new curtain will be opened unto a luscious fall and invigorating winter!!! But for now… a few more weeks of dreaming in the sunshine of all the fun that lies ahead for the family… and then I’ll be ready to run races again! And speaking of season-changes, that reminds me of this Scripture: “It was You God who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.” – Psalm 74:17
There’s not a lot of farm-news this week but here’s a bit…
The Garden -
With temps shooting up in the 100′s I think I will just stay indoors today, but it looks like the latter part of this week will be in the low 90′s so Yaaay! I’m still fighting to put in the fall garden!
The Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats -
With most of the new fence-line finished the goat-girls “Genevieve & Gisele” had no idea that they could escape if they wanted to after I let them out to pasture in the back “FOUR”!
Rich and I worked on creating some new gates to lead from their goat-cabin to the pasture yesterday, and then this morning I created a chute-passage for them to come and go as they pleased even, so that if I am ever gone and it should suddenly RAIN they could run back into their little shelter! But it was too cute and funny to see them just standing on the edge of where their old fence used to be and wonder if it were really true, if they were really free… but a full two hours went by without them venturing to test the invisible fence and so I went way around from the east-side of the acreage and came up to them and when they saw me they ran right to me and finally realized the fence was no longer there! Welcome to your new world of grazing in free-pasture goat-girls!!!
~ That’s the kind of FREEDOM that Jesus has given us too! So let’s all run in that FREEDOM!
“Jesus Christ has truly made us free: so keep your free condition and let no man fence you in again.” – Galatians 5:1

I say that you are a chosen one! ***** That’s all the “News” for now…but just email me if I can ever be of help in sharing the things I have learned in my sustainable explorations – constance@countrygirl.biz Thank You all for sharing in my farm journey with me!!! 2 Thessalonians 3:5 “May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 – “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” *** Ants live a very sustainable life!
And the weight of the years, though treasured as gold.
But you’ve stood in the rain; now you’re refreshed again,
Oh little bud, let your petals unfold!
So dear to the plan of love,
Show forth your beauty!
I’ll see you leave your fears behind.
I’ll see you dance; I’ll hear you laugh in the wind,
Releasing the music you’ve held within.
So dear to the plan of love,
Show forth your beauty!
Then just fly like you’ve been given wings!
Learn to dream, learn to believe,
Live your life from a heart that sings!
Go live out your dreams!
There’s no river too wide,
There’s no fountain too great,
There’s no mountain too high!
So dear to the plan of love,
Show forth your beauty!
