Not a bad mornings work


Last night Savannah asked if we could go fishing this morning before they had to go for their CPR/First Aid training. I told her we would have to go at 6AM and she said OK so we got up and went and the fish cooperated! She caught 6 and I caught 1 :-( It was a great time and we got enough for a great meal for our family It doesn't get any better than that. My Fathers Day weekend is starting off pretty sweet.

We were in the boat and the dogs were following us around the bank as we fished and then I saw one of them up on the deck so I thought they had given up. Then to our surprise here comes Cabella swimming up to the boat! We let her in and made sure to keep her away from the hooks and the fish. She seemed very happy to be in the boat with us so next time we will try just taking her from the start. Koko would follow us around but she was not going to swim out to us. She will get in the water but she has to have a little coaxing.

Well the early-morning fog has burned off and the sun is out so it's on to checking chickens, cows, bees and the garden. Have a great Fathers Day everyone.

Welcome!

Welcome to our family blog. We have a small (55 acres) farm and are attempting to raise beef cattle, some hay, laying hens, honey bees, a dog and a small garden. We also have a small pond that has fish in it but they pretty much raise themselves.The Twenty-eight eleven is the name of our farm. It comes from Deutronomy 28:11 which reads: "The LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you." We count on God's blessings for our life as we know it so we thought it appropriate to go ahead and give Him all the glory for anything good that we produce, be it crops, cows, or children. This blog will be a fun project for us to document what is going on at our farm and hopefully share some natural ways of farming along the way (as we learn too).
