The Perfect Weekend!

This weekend Joyce Kathy and I set up at the fiber fest in Corydon IN. Had a great time sitting around talking and meeting new people as well as people I have talked to online but had not met in person. Its always great to put a face with the name! I was good and only bought 4 oz of roving 2 of baby camel down and 2 of sea cell so I did not spend all my profits LOL. I also traded a German cross buck for a very nice alpaca fleece from Mount Ampato Alpacas I still have a few German cross bunnies and lots of roving for sale I will be posting pics of them in the next couple of days. I did take my camera but as usual did not but a couple pics, and not one of those was of our booth. This is a pic of some Angora goats that were set up in between the 2 buildings. It was so hard not to take one of those guys home! I could have fit one in my care I think, luckily for me the lady does not live far from me so I can get a goat at a later date! LOL These guys were set up in the middle building playing music. The were sing a song about who broken the chicken house door or something like that when I was in there and then they would all start clucking. Its was great.

Sunday was a very special day as well. My best friend just recently surrendered to the ministry and he gave his first sermon Sunday! It such a great pleasure to be there on such an important day, and it was an awesome sermon! God has used this boy a great deal in my life, in fact it was his witnessing that brought me to salvation. It is so amazing to see the plans God has for people that He as brought into our lives. I know that God will use him to touch many many other peoples lives and I hope I am there to see all of it! Please keep him in your prayers and ask God to guide his footsteps. God Bless all of you and I pray each of you have found Salvation in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Meet Tommy

My friend Joyce came over this weekend and brought Tommy with her. I am hoping in the spring he will mate with my female turkey so we can lots of little turkeys. Its funny as big as he is he is still afraid of my rooster LOL. Since he is too big to fly we put in the chicken house, we didn't want anything to get him, but he is afraid of the rooster so I am going to make him an outside pen with some cattle panels and a calf hut for a house. Then hopefully my hen turkey will fly in with him so he is not lonely.

This weekend Kathy, Joyce, and I will be setting up at the fiber fest in Corydon IN. I have been busy getting my yarns and some roving ready to take along, I decided to part with a little of my Rambouillet Angora blend. I am saving all my white angora to do another blend so I have plenty. I will also have a couple German cross bunnies for sale and an English Angora that belongs to some friends of mine. If you make it to the fest make sure you stop by our booth and say HI! God Bless!

Ol' McDustin has a farm!

It is amazing how much the good Lord has blessed me! On top of my salvation I have been blessed with wonderful family, friends, and lots of critters! I thought I would show you just a couple of the blessings God has gave me. There is no way I could ever list them all.Roo my labMoses my shadow.The geese follow me around while I do my feeding and like to check out the bunns. They even talk to me I say "Goose goose goose" and they say "HONK HONK HONK" LOL I ain't right I know.My turkey, that should make you laugh! P.S. The knee is alot better and I have been off the crutches for over a week now!These little guys came to live with us lastnight. I traded 5 laying hens for 25 Cornish Rock Cross chics that will be put in the freezer.Pekin Ducks and some of our laying hens. There are still more critters that have been on the blog before that I did not take new pics of. Can you believe a few short years ago I only had a couple horses, its hard to believe now but I was a total different person at that time and in the last 2 years that has changed even more! All of that is only becasue God Himself came into my life and changed my heart. I think He was working on my heart even before I was saved and has freed me of many many things to help prepare me for my salvation and the many wonders He has planned for my life! God Bless all of you hope you enjoyed the pics of all my kids!

Only me!

I manged to really do it this time! Anyone who really knows me is not surprised at all knowing I am an animal NUT! A little over a week ago I came home from church Sunday morning to find turkeys across from my driveway (not wild turkeys btw), later I noticed them walk by the living room window. I said, I am going to have those turkeys. I wait it out, give them some time to get to the barn, when I go out Moses is barking over by the round pen. All 3 turkeys are on the gate, I walk up and grab one put her in the chicken house, one jumps down the dogs chase it, the other jumps up in the tree. Not very high just high enough I think I can still get it. Here is where my swift thinking comes in LOL. I go to the barn and grab a ladder. I know I know what was I thinking! Get up the ladder almost to the turkey but it flies higher in the tree so I start to come back down the ladder, get halfway or so down and it falls. I land on my left foot feel my knee shift to one side and fall to the ground. So I lay on the ground for a bit and them hobble to the house. The Dr said I either pulled or tore the muscels in my knee. It has been swollen and pretty sore but is starting to get better now. I have not been using my crutches as much even though the Dr says about 2 more weeks I think thats a little extreme. So next time you see a turkey think of me! LOL Hope that made you all laugh, once I get back to myself I will post pics of a skien I dyed with onion skins! God Bless!

Dad's new hound

Dad and my older brother are really into coon hunting, they have the dogs and all the gear. I am not so much into it, went a few times but its just not my thing. When I was younger Dad always had Walker coon hounds, now my brother has Black and Tans so Dad has fallowed suit with Black and Tans as well. This summer they bred 2 of there dogs my brothers female and Dads male. Last week while at my brothers house to look at the kids rabbits I picked out which puppy I wanted Dad to bring home and I named her Molly surprisingly Dad liked my pick and my name. So here is little Molly, I am claiming her as my new kid! She was not to much into a photo shoot.Molly's first meal. She was a hungry puppy! God Bless have hope you enjoy your holiday weekend!
