Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~Matthew 6:21~
We gave Mikah a motorized Erector set for his 9th birthday. We’ve been so busy with the barn and school (and dishes, to his dismay) that he’s not had much time to devote to it. Until this weekend. He built that helicopter almost entirely by himself. I think it is remarkable because it is no easy feat to decipher the directions and work with the tiny screws and nuts. He thinks it is pretty cool that the picture shows the propellers spinning. We think Mikah is cool.
I presented Jeff with two hay rack plans: one off the internet and one from the book, Natural Goat Care. But they were just ideas to get Jeff’s creative juices flowing.

We worked from sunup to sundown Saturday and Sunday, and then from noon to past dark on Monday, to finish our barn. Or at least get it done enough to keep the animals dry and shelter the remaining water and electrical work ahead of us.
Last weekend, even though it was rainy and muddy, we got much done. On Friday, our siding arrived. It is not a perfect color match. 
We weren’t too concerned about matching the color. This is what was available to us, so it is what we got. Actually, I kind of like the color block look. What concerns us is that should we sell our property someday, we hope people won’t be turned away by the colors. On Saturday…
I will try to cover everything that has happened this week. Jeff has been out of town since Wednesday, but he’ll be back tonight. I researched steel through the early week, and then ordered the steel siding for the barn on Wednesday. The Lord was good and allowed it to be delivered today, in time [...]
