Day #15~

Tonight, I am thankful that God kept Jacob and I safe while we ran around and around and around for nearly 3 hours, trying to get our cows back in the fence after they broke out. Half the time it was dark out, so driving around on a 4-wheeler and dirt bike could have been dangerous indeed! We ended up herding them all into our East pasture. The cornfield they had been in just had electric wire around it, and they decided not to respect the wire today. It was quite windy out and snowing a bit, so that's probably why they wanted to get out.

We also spent a good portion of our morning making bread, and most of afternoon topping carrots and sorting through them.... Mom and Jacob were in Bismarck and our dad was gone trucking and then had to load up another load of hay to sell to a farmer in Texas.

Please pray that Jacob and I stay well, as I don't feel so good right now, plus I'm a bit hoarse from hollering.......

Dear Cora,
I will be praying for you. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well... what a job that must've been. You must've been worn out by the end of it! :(

Well, trusting the Lord to bless you. Praying you feel better today. :)

Yours, Carra

Hello again Cora!

I will certainly be praying for ya'll!

It is very good you were able to round up your cows! That would be rather a long day! Our goats get out at times but its nothing like a herd of cows...we just go up, get their collars and lead them back to the barn! :)

Snowing! That's very hard to believe! Here today it was so warm my mother, sister, and I were sweating taking our evening walk!

Many prayers for you all, with love;
April
