I have been using my cast iron pans so much more and love how they bake and cook up!!! Today and yesterday I made rolls and Chicken Pot Pie!! So so delicious. Wasn't sure if I would like the onion in the rolls......but they were amazingly good!! I really enjoyed baking them in my cast iron pan.....the bottoms were really soft and so were the top. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The recipe asked for bread flour.....I didn't have any and the roads were so icy I couldn't leave to get some. So I looked up a substitute for what I needed. 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon of gluten = bread flour......so good to know for future recipes. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Look what happened to our world yesterday........I have a shepherdess farm friend who has had five of my Momma sheep for some time to help build her flock. She sent me a picture......it was Momma Olivia......and her two adorable baby lambs. I hopped in the car and off to her farm..... it isn't very far from mine. I could hardly wait to get out of the car....she said they were over in the shed and that there was another Momma in labor so we needed to quiet for her.......we walked up and there was Momma Olivia with her patchy black faced babies....she had a little boy and girl!!! I started to cry.....I know stupid but I was overwhelmed with Farm Momhood to these two littles!!! I so miss having children.....I know that might be weird.....but I do miss having someone to nurture and so my animals are what I care for now and I love it!! I will get to have them back here on the farm this next week!! You will find me out in their shed getting it ready on Monday when it is warmer!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas I visited Rosa and Aunt Ella to take one of my frozen chicken that I raised this fall. After feeding them they ended up being 10 pounds. I knew they would love this gift...because a fresh hen is wonderful especially when you know what they are eating....better then the store. When I got to their sweet farm......on the table Rosa had a jar of her own canned chicken......it was so funny that we both thought the same!!! When I got back home I placed my gift on the shelf for a special meal! The other night I put the chicken in a pan.....added a cup of milk with 1/4 cup of flour. Salt and pepper and let simmer with the chicken and broth until it was thick. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rolled the dough.......see my little heart.......????</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I whipped up a nummy </span><span style="font-size: large;">1/2 batch of egg noodles......having fresh eggs and a food processor makes the work so much easier......like in 5 minutes you can have them made up and rolled out it.....easy to start cutting. I made mine pretty......used a cracker cutter!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I made mashed potatoes.....we love our chicken and noodles on the top!! It was so good........it has been years since I canned chicken.....before spring I will try to get some done! So nice to grab a pint off the shelf for a fast meal. Chicken is easy to put up too!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">We are back on the farm and it is wonderful. God has been so good to us!!! Trying to get things done that we couldn't when we inherited it. Got to work on the big coop and decorated it for <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas!! A favorite for to do!!! Looks so cute!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you know we did sell the coffeehouse...so we have been home since May.....we got to put in a garden and I canned lots of tomatoes!!! We harvested our regular potatoes and sweet potatoes......we got so many and our family is enjoying the bounty!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas I was able to do a lot of homemade gifts and one that I did for my girls were littles was these adorable pompom garlands. So cute and easy. I wrapped my yarn around my three fingers 50 times. Took it off </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">real easy and laid it on my lap.....took a long piece of yarn...tied it from the back to the front and tied in a knot. Then cut the loops all around. After all the loops are cut start shaping the ball by cutting and making it a round ball. They are so cute and so easy to make!! </span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span style="font-size: large;">Decide what string twine you want to use......I used red and white thread...you can lots of strings now in all the stores. Thread with needle....poke needle into the middle of the pompom.....you can add as many as you want....and make it as long as you like. I made each of my littles a set. Just an idea!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I do post a lot more on my facebook site. It is a little faster for me to get something up.....but I do want to write more here on my blog also for those who don't follow on fb. I have know idea how many from here still follow since I haven't been able to post due to life and working outside the home. I would love to hear if any are though and so if you could please just leave a comment in the comments to let me know you are still out there I would love to reconnect? No pressure!!!!! Also I just put up a post a week ago about selling a Prairie Flower Farm Calendar. I reordered because they sold so fast and have some still on hand. I also want to make them available to any of you if you would like one. You can email me at prairieflowerfarm@gmail.com and let me know. I can do PayPal or check. I sold some 4 years ago and thought it would be fun to do one again. They are $24. and $4. shipping. I have 12 picture photos on the inside that can easily be framed. Please put calendar in the subject please. That will help me a lot!! Thank you!!! No pressure honest.......just want you to know they are here and available!!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well hope all is well......the Lord has been faithful as we walk this new adventure out!!! We are always asking what is it that He wants us to do. Praying about some things and He will lead!! Can't wait......and until then we will just keep doing what He has in front of us!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I personally am praying for a building.......a Gathering building to do ministry with ladies and young ladies....or whoever the Lord has. I know there is a need for learning to start your seedling......planting a garden......sewing....knitting......building furniture.....to start a green house....cold frames......I have had lots of interest.....just need a place. God has the plan.....I want to be in it.....He provides. Can't wait.....the calendar is my start.....small start but we have to start somewhere. I am sure you have dreams also.....lay them before Him.....He wants to be a part of our everything!!! I want to be a part of His......He delights in that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

We had two of our grand sons and a friend for dinner.....I have decided that I am inviting them to our farm......I will feed them and we will get to hear what is happening in their life......they stayed for 5 hours......it was wonderful!!! I have time now that I have not had and it will be so fun to invest in their lives......they need us and we need them. Then one of my granddaughters has gone to college...2 hours away.....it will take some commitment on our part to go and see her!! We will!!! Can't wait.....I am painting her a chair and building her a bench. That will keep me busy!!! I know is it is rough out there and it scares me for her to be far away...but I am thankful for the Lord and how he hears this Grammies prayers and He will be all over in protection for my girl!!! She wrote me...she found a good Bible believing church.....she wrote how the Lord touched her that first night.......I cried through the whole message.......God had heard me...and He answered!!! Such a precious Lord I serve!!! I will continue to keep her covered along with all the other grands we have!! It is important that we pray for our family and friends!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday was a day for me to go visit my sweet friends that live down in the Beachy, Amish/Mennonite area. They are adorable ladies!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I walked into their kitchen.....memories hit me....dinners with the family right before Grandpa Yoder died.....Marian, Rosa's sister and my best friend sitting on the floor shucking corn while she was battling cancer....Grandma Yoder telling me that I had a problem with pride because I wouldn't take Rosa's fresh whole wheat bread....I took it and told her I was sorry......coming at CHRISTmas time to go to the tea room and get it ready for their family to have dinners and our tea party!! They all made me their own.....I was English and they were Beachy......perfect fit!!! How I miss all of those days!!! Thankful for the memories though. Rosa had a jar of homemade pickles and a jar of just made fresh homemade pizza sauce!! She gave me the recipe!!! She also let me taste the finished sauce.....oh my delicious!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As we went out the front door I noticed all her beautiful white roses in front of their porch. It was beautiful. She had about 7 all across the front. Her daughter buys her the small miniature roses in the little pots.....you see them on Mother's Day a lot.....someone had told Rosa that inside one of those pot there are 6 to 7 individual plants......she broke them up and planted each one. I AM DOING THAT!!! They are beautiful!!! Big too!!! I have so much work to do on my little rose garden and I can't wait to get some plants and start planting!!! Not sure if it should be in fall or spring!! I will see!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had not yet picked out my tea cup yet they were Marians. We had washed them a many times after having some kind of party!!! Oh the chatter that went on.....or the prayers that we prayed for our children that we lifted up to the Lord. She was a sweet sweet friend!! It was so hard to give her up....she died on the night before our youngest daughter got married. Marian wanted to so bad come to the wedding. It was a sad night for me.......but one day we will be together again!! She loved me deep.....I did the same with her. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello sweet ladies.......oh my it has been forever since I have been on here......I have started some other posts......and then life happens......and when that happens.......I don't get to finish them. I have missed blogging for sure......and maybe this will get me started on a roll. We sold the coffeehouse......we are thankful that we can now give time to help our family and to be on our farm</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">.......you will find me in the garden and putting up produce and picking zinnas. I am so grateful the Lord has allowed this in our life again!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This last weekend I bought a cupboard that was 7' tall x 4' wide.......lots of shelves and perfect for what I have been wanting. I have to paint the outside...it will be white......and I will try to change the look of the doors.....maybe build some new ones.....we will see. I couldn't wait to start organizing love </span><span style="font-size: large;">cupboards!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like a lot!!! Behind each door there are 3 big size shelves.....perfect!!! I still have more sorting today of things to go on each shelf......I know it is going to help me a lot!!! Oh and it cost me $10. Now that made me really happy!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Some weeks back I started getting my seeds planted......learning a lot this year about transplanting. Have regular shop lights at the shop and everything is doing fantastic under them!!! The key this year was to learn about worm castings...... to buy if you are interested <a href="https://www.simplegrowsoil.com/"><span style="color: #990000;">here</span></a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.simplegrowsoil.com/"><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></a> and learn about worm casting tea go </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Worm-Castings-Tea"><span style="color: #990000;">here</span></a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Roma plant on the left I had transplanted two weeks ago using worm castings in the soil. I had only so much soil to plant half of all my seedlings. I bought some more seed starting soil and had to get the seedlings transplanted....still waiting on an order for worm castings. The one on the right was when I got transplanted one week later in seed mix without worm castings. It showed me what I needed to know. I am amazed. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I got to thinking what if I could make up some worm casting tea.......I researched and sure enough. So when my castings came in the mail...... I bought what I needed. Now I have done more research and if I really want to do this right I will invest in a bigger air bubbler........but I am more then satisfied on a small scale what I have accomplished so far. On my second batch....went around the farm and put some on my little bushes and trees. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Starting seeds is very simple. I was running out of space and cups and thought I would try using my plastic milk jugs that we go through in our coffee shop. Turn on side so label is on the bottom. Keep lid on!!!! Starting cutting from the back top of jug "leave about a three inch space that you will not cut" in the back so it can have a flap. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fill milk container half-full with seed transplanting soil. You can add some worm castings if you would like. It really is amazing stuff!!! Pat the soil down a little bit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sprinkle seeds on top. Cover seeds lightly with your soil. Spray with a spray bottle filled with warm water.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wrap anything I am starting in plastic bags and put in a warm place. I can used the top of my shop light.....I have also used the top of my refrigerator. Works great. Now wait until it grows. After the plant gets about 2" to 3"tall you can transplant into a small paper cup or I am using the milk jugs and putting space of about 1 1/2" in between seedlings. I think it will work great until I can get everything outside!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been sprouting alfalfa, wheat, lentils and quinoa. Staggering them so every other day they get fresh sprouts!!!! It isn't hard to do ......just need a large mouth jar or containers especially for sprouting. Mesh lids or cheesecloth/a canning jar wide mouth lid ring works great too!!! Fill jar with water and let seeds soak for 8-10 hours. Rinse and allow water to drain out. Everyday two times fill jar with water and rinse....draining water out each time. Place jar on it's side in a slightly sunny spot. Watch little life happen!!!! Your girlies will love you!!! You are giving them good food and it only takes a few minutes each day!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So nice to be back on my blog......it is quiet.....which is a new new new for our H O M E......getting used to it now that our Tressy is married, but the tree is lit.......and the sun will be rising real soon. Eating my favorite breakfast........pie and a cup of milk. Now I am set! Just got off from FaceTiming our little.......she is so sweet in the mornings so her Momma calls so we can have some sweet time together......one of my favorite things to start my day. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had this idea for pictures or <span style="color: #990000;">Christ</span>mas......I knitted her a hat and mittens........I needed a bag so I used some of the burlap we had from her Momma's wedding.......made a tag.........tied a red checked ribbon around the top.......stuffed the bag with a lot of pillows and set her inside....with her little ornament and stuffed puppy (we keep it here at Grammies).....it will always be the grands!!! So fun to shoot these pics......there is such a sweet manner about her. We had quite a few giggles when she did a face plant in the cluster fiberfill......when she came up it there were patches glued to her face......then she started slipping down the backside to the inside of the bag......her Momma and I both went after her......made some sweet memories!!! We love her so much and thank the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> for her allllll the time!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"</span><span style="color: #1d2129;">Ladies: my grandfather was born in Switzerland and his mom used to make these eggs on special occasions. It is eggs poached in cream with grated Swiss cheese on top. You heat the cream, turn down the heat, and break the eggs into the cream. Put on the </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">lid and let it cook for a bit, depending on how soft you like your eggs. Take the lid off and add the grated Swiss cheese. Put lid back on long enough to melt the cheese. It is served on toast with the leftover goodness spooned over the top. Salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY!" Suzanne </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So on with my story.......we left the chickens in their coop......something got in which now we think was a "Herd of Raccoons"!!!!!!!!! Our big coop had a window where I had patched it with a small piece of fine mesh piece of screen. Something opened it and so the size of a window pane was big enough to get in........all my big older chickens (about 20 plus) my 3 ducks and 4 Guineas and about 3 roos.......all gone......except for two of the Guineas......literaly allllll gone! Like they had vanished!! I had noticed outside some Guinea feathers......and then saw the window pane....opened the door.....and this is what I found. JUST FEATHERS! No bones.....bodies.....nothing. I was sick to my stomach. We couldn't believe they were all gone.....just like that!!!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We checked the new chickens and they were fine the other night. We didn't think that anything could get in.......well last night they climbed over the chicken wire that we had put on the gate area and they got in.....whatever it was got 10 of my newwwww hens........ugh!!!!! Couldn't believe it. The way we built the doorway we had to put chicken wire on a certain way because it was the sheep's shed not a coop. From the gate up to way high we put on chicken wire......we should have secured it at the very top......tonight we will when we get home from the coffeehouse!! Thinking maybe to build the gate with new wood all the way to the top.....if I can do that I will. Whoever is getting them got my pet Chicky Girl.......sad.......3 of the Wyandotte's .....some Olive Eggers.......so thankful they didn't get the Mr. Roo Wyandotte.

<span style="font-size: large;">I was ready to start a little project. There is an elderly gentlemen that has come into the coffeehouse since we first got the shop. At first he was a little "unique".......but now......he thinks we are okay........ I think. Anyway he volunteers out at our Refuge and loves wildlife.....so do we. It is a beautiful place to go.....lots of birds migrate out there and Tress has enjoyed watching them come and go. The birds and coffee has given them some common ground.....fun to watch the two of them....the old and the young.....in action. The two of them bless our lives! Anyway.He wants to get different pinecones and freeze them so he can plant the seeds later. Can't wait to watch what he does. It was such a enjoyable time sitting at my machine.....need to do it more often!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">oh my.......I am n</span><span style="font-size: large;">ot sure where to begin.......one thing for sure.....you have been missed......by me. I know lots of you follow my Prairie Flower Farm Fb......and I am thankful that I can stay in touch with you there. It seems to be easier for me to at least put up a little post then over here on my blog. The last time I wrote was way back in Nov.......between Nov and Dec. We sold the flower part of the Coffeehouse. It has made our life so much simpler. The coffeehouse keeps us so busy as is and the food has been keeping us very busy also. It is a better fit for us....we seem more calm, which has been much needed. </span></div>

Off to go see the mountains in Colorado. It was so beautiful, the mountains were covered of snow.....top to bottom.......we soooo enjoyed ourselves! While we were gone we had some remodeling done at the shop.......we had the kitchen enlarged. It was really little and now we have more room and are more efficient with our time. Adding some new foods to the menu.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When we got back from our mini vaca, my sweet man and I put up a unit that we used at the International Quilt market years back to replace where the flower fridge was. I decorated with a Winter theme! I never cared for the flower fridge......</span><span style="font-size: large;">looks prettier when you look in the window to the shop and when you enter I think.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Everyone loves it.......little ones run in the front door to be able to sit at it......couples who are on dates use it.....Bible studies are done....it is pretty! So many men and women look at it to see how it is made......want to build one at their home for outside sitting. It's been a fun place for sure and would be super easy to build!</span></div>

I am so excited that now it is getting warmer and hopefully we will be getting all the new windows in. Her is a little area in our bedroom...I brought back all the hooks from the back porch of our old farm. Just a little place to hang my special necklaces. Simple.....but so what I like!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Little did we know that March of 2016 our life would again change.......my Auntie (my Momma's sister) would need a place to live. She got very ill and ended up in the hospital in California. We had three days to get ready to fly out and bring her back. Of course we had to go to the ocean........two different times......it was so wonderful to see it again. I so miss the water......and the mountains but the Lord blessed us so!! We drove back....she didn't want to fly.....we enjoyed traveling. We are now trying to get her settled......she is 88.....we have her back to health for which we are thankful. She has always lived in Cali......farm life has become an adventure!! </span></div>

She is meeting lots of people that love her. </span></div>

Hello my sweet precious ladies........I am embarrassed that I have not had time to write......for months. I have to say since we got the coffeehouse it has been one of the hardest times in my life. I am so busy...... half the time I don't know what way is up. I am not complaining......it just has been hard. It is like we have three shops in one building. The front is the sitting area, gift and flower part. The flowers keep us going with the funerals, birthdays, get well and special occasion flowers. That part can be busy for days. Then the middle part of the coffeehouse is the kitchen.....that is where we make the sandwiches, salads and soups. We have really doubled sales almost in that area. The back part has the coffee area. Tress has done amazingly well. We have also doubled sales there......so that just says we are busy! I miss writing and hearing how you all are. I do think of you often! Thankful so many of you follow on Facebook and I can still keep up with you there.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have been so busy at the shop and it is getting a bit much for Tress and I to keep everything going. The flowers have also been busy and seems never ending. We have decided to sell that part of the business. We prayed and in 3 days we had a name. It just came to me one morning. I called a friend.......and a few days later she said yes, So now we will be done by the first of the year! I am so thankful the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> provided a way out. The lady is going to be perfect. She already found a building just down from us and she will be fixing it up!!!!! Ekkkk! Happy Momma here. It will help us not be so tied down. So many times we would go somewhere and have to come back because of a funeral. Hopefully I will be able to do some crafting and designing again. I have missed it so! Loved flowers.....it just got to much. <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>is good! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We did raise 21 meat birds. I had bought a new chicken cage this last summer. It was quit big so I was able to get almost all but 3 birds into it. We drove up to the farmers place who was going to butcher them for me. We had to take mine all out and then put them into the farmers cages. I had never done it this way before. It was really easy and we will do it again come spring! We had to leave them for the night and go then just went and picked them up the next day.....they were all bagged individually and ready to put them in the freezer. We also gave half to our friends who used to have the market. We will all be enjoying chicken during the winter months with our egg noodles. Blessed!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Every Monday we have had a friend come and help us work on our home. We have put two new windows in our bedroom.......ask if I feel blessed!!!!!! The biggest window is a 4'x5'. The other night we woke up at 4:30 in the morning. Venice was straight out the window. It was so beautiful. All our farm windows were old (which I love and will save) but not efficient at all. Hoping the new ones will be more efficient and the house will be warmer for winter. I will show pics after the bedroom and bathroom are finished. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well that gives you just a bit of what has been happing here at Prairie Flower Farm and Broadway Market (our coffeehouse) I am so thankful for the time we have at the market. My heart is calming just knowing we will not have the flowers. So much ministry and encouragement are happening there. So many opportunities. I miss my home....but I do know <span style="color: #990000;">God</span> has us where <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> wants us. We are living in such a volatile time.......things are happening so fast everyday it seems. I am waiting for the<span style="color: #990000;"> Lord's </span>return. <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> said all that is happening would happen. I trust you are ready!!! I so want you to share heaven with me. <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> is waiting for each of us to come and repent. That is why <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus </span>died.....so we could have eternal life....</span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Jesus said ......., “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.

<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't say that, <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus</span> did.......I chose to believe <span style="color: #990000;">Him</span>! </span></div>

I think of you daily! Life at the coffeehouse is almost to much at times.....but we are learning to be content. We can't believe that we have been at the market for 10 months now.......that is amazing to me. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have fixed up my little kitchen..........to look like I want it to. I love looking at a few pretty things. We get so busy at different times of the day........we have many stories each day......some are </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">sad, happy and just plain life. We are meeting so many people that we never even knew lived in our town. We are meeting needs.....life seems to be lived through the lives of the people that come in on certain days......we see little ones, children....high school kids who come in with snacks that they bought at the gas station......(I think that one is cute).....Mom's who come to meet other Moms.......they have little coffee breaks.......Professors.....Pastors......Grandparents on vacation with the grands......so many people. We have to take calls.......calls for orders......funerals......birthdays.......just because calls.......little old men who have been married for 56 years and still count each year as if their sweeties were here..... but their sweetheart is at the cemetery.....they can't forget them.........nor will they let us.......they always tell us who they were and how cutie they were.....what they liked.....what they didn't.....we are their friends. Life has changed for us....we have grown......learning more about what the Lord wants us to do in this mixed up world we live in now......the most important part......is to love people where they are......it has stretched us.......I know He will stretch us even more in the coming year. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I started a garden at the backside of the market. It's my me time......I love it! A man and a little girl come in all the time. We have things in common.......like old things. He took some of my pallets and some of his "junk......beauty to me" and built these adorable boxes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">trust your Resurrection <span style="color: #990000;">SON</span>day was a blessing for you and your family. Ours was a little interesting. We were getting ready for church and the lights went out. Need I say more. Thankful we were almost ready!!!! Thankful we had the market so we could have our dinner as a family together. It was a precious time with our family......lots of laughter and memories were talked about. My favorite time was listening to everyone share. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We had lots of damage on our farm last week. Our animals and our family were safe! It was a bit scary for sure. The wind was so powerful. Out in our area they said their was real dangerous weather. It came through the farm with hail that broke out windows (on our back porch) and a kitchen window.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our meter and light pole blew down and fell on our farm truck. The electric company came today. It will be 2 days until they can come and put a new one up. So many are still without electricity. We can wait! Ours came back on yesterday....... even though we still have lines down on the ground from our farm house to our big barn it was still working. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">Our sheep were gone at our neighbors farm..........that was a huge blessing. The shed they stay in had a huge limb fall on the edge of the roof. They could have hurt each other because of being scared. It is that time of year again. Praying for our farm. We have not had rain..... the wheat is stressed. Thankful my <span style="color: #990000;">Father </span>understands my heart! <span style="color: #990000;">He </span>is a strong foundation in times when you are walking around your farm and needing <span style="color: #990000;">His</span> divine intervention and comfort. Thankful <span style="color: #990000;">He </span>never tires of me coming to <span style="color: #990000;">Him</span>. The sanctuary has damage on the top of the roof........branches and tree limbs hanging everywhere. We will repair it.......not sure when........but we will!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello sweet ladies! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I miss you.......it seems like my time is taken up with lots of new things. I find it hard to find time in my busy day to get all I want to get done...anyone feel the same? I think of you all every day and miss the time I used to have when I could blog more! The coffeehouse has so many parts to it. The people we serve each day are precious to us. But I so miss the farm.......checking in on my animals and chickens......baking in my kitchen.....crafting and you! Maybe in the summer it will be a little different when we don't have the college kids in town.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">I have them up in front of the floral area. I was gone over the weekend and when I came back they were about 2" tall. I had put them in a dark place, because seeds don't need light to start......they just need warmth. Love watching them grow. I will never tire of life that grows!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">All clean......needs some more work done to it this summer. This is my little Milk House. It works great to house my Momma Cochins and their babies. Cleaned the coops.........l</span>ove laying fresh straw. Filled the nesting boxes also. Makes me feel better and the Girls will be scratching and eating the wheat heads for days! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I have been weeding out in my rhubarb patch. Will lay paper and straw to keep back the weeds. They look like they are going to do well. Transplanted them last year. Can't wait for Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam.....what do you make? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a little post to keep you posted on what is happening here at Prairie Flower Farm..........sorry.......I do miss you all and if you want to keep up with what is going on...... I do post on my Facebook. Hope life slows down.......some day right? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hugs to you and may the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> bless and keep you. It seems to be getting rather crazy out there in the world. Hold onto everything the Word of <span style="color: #990000;">God</span> tells you......it is important to do the right thing even if you stand alone! <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> says <span style="color: #990000;">He </span>won't leave us or forsake us....we may lose all here on earth......but not our souls. That is <span style="color: #990000;">Truth.</span> We need <span style="color: #990000;">His </span>guidance like never before. Pray for the persecuted whenever you think of it. Watching so many things going on. What was always wrong is now right.......so much against what <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> has said in <span style="color: #990000;">His Word</span> for All of our protection. Looking for <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus </span>to return to get <span style="color: #990000;">His Church</span>. Please be ready. </span></div>

Her name is Myrtle!<span style="font-size: large;">Hello sweet ladies, </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">How are all of you doing.......I know.......I haven't been by here lately. We are putting in so many hours at the coffeehouse and when we are home...... I am trying to get all done that needed to be done the whole week. <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>is using the coffeehouse in precious ways. After watching the news.......and all that is going on..........we have to share <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus </span>more than ever! Just seems to me that the Bible and the Truth of <span style="color: #990000;">His Word </span>is being ripped apart. Choosing what we want to believe and not taking <span style="color: #cc0000;">His Word</span> seriously. So, I am thankful the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> has me where I can love people! Sin is abounding.......not because I say so, but because <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> has a way for us to live....... in <span style="color: #990000;">His Word </span>to protect us from ourselves! I am so not perfect! I need my family of <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>to encourage me and they do! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you need prayer in anyway........please leave it here in the comment or contact me via email......found at the top right side. I will pray. Please pray for us also. My heart is so sad to see what is happening.......but <span style="color: #990000;">God</span> knows it all and will work it out until <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> comes back for us! What a precious day that will be! Hope in the real! It is going to happen.......we have to be ready!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now for the news.......you know my Olivia has been waiting just forever to have her baby or babies! Everyday we would check.....sometimes 3 and 4 times.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">today we were home.........our day off. My sweet man came in and said.........."get your camera........and heavy coat on and come with me"! Well I knew exactly what was going on. One.........two? Out the door! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Only one little girl.......her name is Myrtle! I love her name.......don't you? She has black little ears, black under each eye and a little black smudge on her nose. Absolutely adorableness! By the time we got out there she was all dry and snuggled in a bed of straw. She had probably been born in the wee hours of the morning. .....while I was sleeping in! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could barely wait to get out there! I peeked in.........and was surprised there was only one. Olivia was huge...couldn't believe she had only one........but it was a girl and I was ecstatic! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so thankful the day was a warm one here. Now I just have to keep both the little ones nice and protected from the winter and we will be fine. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see Bittersweet is a sweetie. He is eating alfalfa like a big boy! Getting fat and so so healthy! The babies are almost exactly a month apart! They will have fun scampering around the barn yard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love my gifts! I miss being home.........and the city is not my thing.......never has been........but that is where the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> has us and I am learning to adjust! Everyday <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> gives us something specific to do for <span style="color: #990000;">Him.</span> I want to listen......so having these two little ones in the dead of the winter........I know He was thinking of me at this time! I needed a little fun on the farm!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, love you all.......please write and let me know how you all are......I do so miss you, but Facebook has been good. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This little baby lamb has been such a blessing!!!!!!! I could sit for hours and watch him. Time doesn't permit it, but the little time I do have with.... makes life so precious! <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>knew we alllll needed this gift. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I trust that each of you are enjoying your time with family during this <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas season. If you are alone this year, know that I am praying for you. So much can change our life and I just want you to know that I am thinking of you if saddness has happened. <span style="color: #990000;">He</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span>will get you through whatever is before you!!!! Call out to <span style="color: #990000;">Him.......He </span>will listen. Take refuge in <span style="color: #990000;">His Word</span>.....it will keep you close to <span style="color: #990000;">Him</span>. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">"You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your Word." Psalm 119:114</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I know lots of changes have happened in my life these last few months and it has taken all that I have to keep life as normal as I can. My trust has been in the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> as I live out what <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> has before our family each day. Days have been exhausting, but <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> has kept us wrapped in <span style="color: #990000;">His</span> care. Now that the <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas season is soon behind us, things will slow down at the coffeehouse......I think. Wink!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have enjoyed when friends come to the coffeehouse......the other day my farm girlfriend Gail came and we sat and exchanged gifts and ate a cup of soup.

<span style="font-size: large;">39 years ago today I gave birth to a very special son. Joshua Aaron Stubbs. He has taught me much.....as each one of my children have over the years. His heart as helped me to learn much about forgiveness. My prayer for him this year is that He would grow in wisdom.......as he continues his journey here on earth. May <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>bless and keep him with all <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> wants to do with his life and may many come to know <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus </span>as he serves <span style="color: #990000;">Him</span> daily.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello sweet ladies.....how are you all? Are you all getting ready for the<span style="color: #990000;"> CHRIST</span>mas season? We seem to be more busy than we could ever imagine. The time we get to spend at the farm has been wonderful. I am off for two days and I will be getting the farm ready for family and putting up our tree. Can't wait! We have been working hard at the coffeehouse each day! The other night we hosted one of our families who wanted to have their <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas Party for all their workers at Broadway Market. It was a precious time. Thought I would show you pic's of what we did.........we started with.......... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Winterberries........I had never heard of them and one of our Floral companies we buy from shared with us some ideas for Christmas decorating. They are beautiful.....when we open the box they are wrapped in brown craft paper.......tied with twine in a bow. Now that might sound like nothing......but to me I just love love love simple and it brightens my day when I open the box! The two companies we work with are very interested in making our business a success. They have been so helpful!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning sweet ladies,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Life is just way to fast for my comfort! I knew that the coffeehouse was going to be different.......but honestly I didn't think it would take up so much of my life. I am not complaining......it's just the way it is for us at this time, I so miss my farm, but when I do get to be home I truly enjoy each and every moment of it. I appreciate every minute the<span style="color: #990000;"> Lord </span>gives me to see the wheat fields growing.........watching my ducks waddle about the farm, hearing Mr. Rooster"S"......yup I have a few that serenade me around 6 in the morning......cleaning up my coops and laying fresh straw......talking to my "Girly Hen's .......cleaning my little farm house......washing and hanging fresh clean sheets on the line......walking out and sitting on the Sanctuary and just sitting and letting the <span style="color: #990000;">SON</span> woo my heart to <span style="color: #990000;">Himself</span>.....life seems to be quite busy for me now.....but <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus</span> has me right where <span style="color: #990000;">He</span> wants me. It takes a lot of time and energy to start up a business and it consumes your time.....but I also have blessings that my <span style="color: #990000;">Jesus</span> gives me during the day at the coffeehouse.......such as......a young man (Ant) who got busted for drugs.......and because of our Saul (one of our college boys who has been in our life the last 4 years) had shared the gospel with this young man a month before he got arrested. Ant called Saul from jail.......because he knew he could trust Saul........Ant got saved........in jail! After he got out Saul brought him down to the coffeehouse so we could love on him. Ant was free!!!!!! Not from the acts and consequences of his sin......but eternal life was his! We watched the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> do some amazing things! We ended up going to the courthouse with and <span style="color: #990000;">God </span>met us all there! He still has to wait to go back to the Judge, but we do know that God will be with Ant and Ant says know matter what he is served......he will tell everyone about Jesus!!!!!!! There are lots more stories that walk through the front door of the Coffeehouse.....and I tuck each one in my heart and pray that my Heavenly Father will continue to equip our family to help with all the needs. Just want to thank you for your prayers. Can't wait for the day that life slows down a bit!!!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My sweet Olivia......love her face..hope she is pregnant!! Hope they all are for that matter! Come early Spring we will know! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I so miss my time posting and saying hello to you all.......please comment and tell me how you are. We have been putting in 92 hours a week since we opened up a month and almost 3 weeks ago! Talking about a change in life style. So much to learn, but we are now getting things together a bit. With the time change I am at least getting to see the sun rise. It is dark when we come home so that has been a bit difficult with chores. We have made some changes on our hours at the coffeehouse and that will give us more time to be home on our farm!!!!!! Ask if I am excited??? </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tressa and I are having fun with the plant greenhouse truck comes right to our front door. We tend to like the unique different kinds of plants........this one just jumped out at me. It is called a stage horn fern. Doesn't it look like antlers? Just had to show you! Have you ever seen one like this?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The time at the coffeehouse has been busy. Getting to walk with those who are suffering or just need a friend has been precious. I am seeing how <span style="color: #990000;">God</span> has a plan and by us having the market we are part of it! College kids are coming, so that has been sweet!!!!! Three girls come weekly and read the Word......OUT LOUD sitting in the what I call living room area! I am sure it is music to the <span style="color: #990000;">Father's</span> ears.....I am blessed and so is my family to watch growth happen! We keep encouraging the girls on what a blessing they are to us! Such a simple thing.....but so powerful to the heart!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We start to decorate for <span style="color: #990000;">CHRIST</span>mas in a few weeks at the coffeehouse and home. It is my favorite time of the year...... so I can hardly wait! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We are sooooo thanking the <span style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> for the wheat crop that is growing on our fields! It will go into the winter stronger because of the stand we have now. The weather has been pleasant and we did get a bit of rain on it last week! That makes a farmer happy!!!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hope all is well with you......please write and let me know. I do enjoy the times I get emails and comments. I will try to comment back.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yesterday morning I was able to spend most of the morning and part of the afternoon on the farm. For the last month my time has been consumed by the coffeehouse. I leave in the dark and come home most days in the dark. There has been much to learn and to say it has been different.......that is an understatement! Change has never been easy for me......but I know that lots happens in change......for me a more dependency on the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Lord </span>happens! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">He</span> has been my<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> Rock</span> through this last month!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When we drove into the market to take Elizabeth, it was so foggy......... you could barely see in front of you. With the deer traveling we have had to be more careful and more cautions. We hit one about 2 weeks ago coming home....it got the front headlight. That was not good! </span></div>

Things like this are simple, but for me every season does something to my soul. It is in the details of creation that I really see my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Father's </span>work.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sweet man took me south of our place to our son Jarad's land. It was just as beautiful. There used to be Peace Creek flowing on his land until the state came and had to separate it from the main creek. Now it fills up only when we get some rain! Which for the last 4 years we have not been getting enough to keep the creek bed filled. The trees are huge on Jarad's land. I was enjoying the outside. Much needed time! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I continue to learn much at the coffeehouse. Sorrow comes through the doors.......women who are burying their Momma's who unexpectedly died.....and they stand in front of me numb. It is heavy stuff! You can't run from it. Or a Momma who buried her older son.....and she sat at one of my tables.......and wept with her friend.....then she turned to me and told me about one of our chairs. I will show you a pic when I have a chance to take it. She and her husband had the auction that I went to, to try to buy the old Ford truck.....I didn't realize she was the who had the auction. Remember the 16 chairs we bought from it? Well we wondered about this tiger oak chair and she told us it was a pulpit chair from a church. She liked that chair a lot. I told her to take it.......that we could put it in her car. If she doesn't take it I think I should put a bow on it for her CHRISTmas present. We sat and talked......she said the rose that I fixed up in a vase that someone else bought for them......well she took all the petals and dried them and put them in a jar. To remember her son......never knew the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Lord </span>would use my hands to comfort someone else and I would get to hear the story. Again......I lean on my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Savior</span>......to help me so that the pain doesn't ingulf me. And then the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Lord</span> sends a little girl, who's name is Leah who comes through the front door of the coffeehouse....on a dead run to jump into my arms....and we talk about her day. She has red curly hair......she is 5 and adorable. She makes the time fun when she is there....she eats my sandwiches...and a cinnamon roll frappe...she made the drink up and Tressa makes it for her! Another blessing is when......the college boys who need to study the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Word</span>.....come and sit at the table with all the chairs that we bought at the auction......and then my sweet man opens the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Word </span>of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">God</span> and it pours out into these young men's souls....and they talk and talk! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Took this pic today at the market......it was raining outside and love the way the rays from the lights inside came shining through!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It has been a whirlwind of a month for my sweet man, Tressa and myself. Putting in so so many hours and feel at times like life is falling apart. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">God </span>is our refuge and help though it all and if it wasn't for Him.......well I would have fallen apart! We know without a shadow of a doubt that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">He </span>has us right where we need to be. Sharing the love of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Jesus</span>! Who said it would be easy. Well......when things were getting to be wayyyyyy to much I was talking to my precious friend and Prairie Flower Girl, Jill Novak. Some may remember her from Remembrance Press and her magazine The Girlhood Home Companion. Anyway we were talking and she said, "if ever you need help I am sure Elizabeth.........their daughter would love to come and do an internship!" When things got really hard and life felt like it was to much, I called. A week later we picked her up at the airport.....that was last <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">SON</span>day! I wanted to share, but time was just not there for me to even write! She put up a post today on her blog.......I thought it would be fun for you to see the Coffeehouse from her perspective. We love her and she fits just perfectly in the shop! She is lovin' it and we are lovin' having her! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">God</span> knew just what we needed....we are all not so tired! </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hugs and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">God</span> bless those who have been praying for us on this major adventure. More then we thought it would be......but again we are just holding on to every promise <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">He</span> has and cry out when we need help......wink.....which seems like every minute these days! </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Jesus</span> is so good......and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">He</span> knows the plans <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">He</span> has for us! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I do so enjoy it when I am home on the farm......which hasn't been much and I miss. The Lord is letting me learn more about quiet and learning to rest in Him. I found one single egg last <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">SON</span>day morning......one of my Girls left it for me! Simple things mean a lot again in my life! Learning gratitude......learning never stops no matter how old you are. </span><br />
