I wish my Nannie was here......

Oh how I wish my grandmother was here on earth.  I know she is having a time in heaven but I really need her now.  My Nannie, would listen to my problems, give me hugs, share life experiences, show me to love God and would help me anyway she could.  I really really miss her when I need someone to talk to about lifes problems.  She would help me when I need to restock my pantry before paydays.  I am so desperately in need of a car and I know if my Nannie she would help me get the one that I have found.  I need a co-signer in order to get it and she would do it for me.  I don't have anyone else.  When my grandmother died, I lost a part of me.  My grandmother's will left me and my sisters out of it because other relatives had it fixed so it was their gain.  There were items that I so cherished that belonged to my Nannie, but I did not get any of it.  She had Christmas ornaments that I loved, she had her cookbooks that I did not even get one of,  I did get a bible that was hers and I cherish it.  It is like she has left little notes in it to help me along.  So Nannie, while you are up there running on the streets of gold, would you please stop by and visit with Jesus and God  and ask them to send me a debt free vehicle and a pantry full of groceries.  Nannie you would not believe how much Jamison has grown and how much he eats.  Tell Mamaw and Papaw Shaw hello for me and Mamaw Ingram too.  Give Pop a hug and tell JerJer and Papaw James that Jamie really misses them

We have twins... Andy and April surprises us

Betty our ewe surprised us on April 1, 2015 with twins.  Andy and April are growing fast and moves with lots of speed.  It was no April Fool's joke for us but Blessings to our farm.

The farmgirl is in need of a truck.....

Yes... I need a truck.  If only I could afford one right now.  We only have a small car and with the farm we need a truck.  I would like to have a four door one so that SweetPea can get in and out.  We also need it to haul stuff in to and fro from our other farm. 

I just ask anyone that reads my blog to lift this up in prayer that we will soon see a way to get a truck any truck used or new.

Many smiles and blessings,

Tracy

Happy National AG Day 2015

What Is Ag Day?

It's a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America join together to recognize the contributions of agriculture.

When Is Ag Day?

Ag Day is celebrated on March 18, 2015. National Ag Day falls during National Ag Week, March 15-21, 2015.

Who Hosts Ag Day?

The Agriculture Council of America hosts the campaign on a national level. However, the awareness efforts in communities across America are as influential - if not more - than the broad-scale effort. Again this year, the Ag Day Planning Guide has been created to help communities and organizations more effectively host Ag Day events.

What Is Ag Day All About?

Ag Day is about recognizing - and celebrating - the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives. The National Ag Day program encourages every American to:

• Understand how food and fiber products are produced.
• Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
• Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.

Why Celebrate Agriculture?

Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. But too few people truly understand this contribution. This is particularly the case in our schools, where students may only be exposed to agriculture if they enroll in related vocational training.
By building awareness, the Agriculture Council of America is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture.
Each American farmer feeds more than 144 people ... a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more - and doing it better. As the world population soars, there is an even greater demand for the food and fiber produced in the United States.

What Can I Do to Help?

Put simply, get involved! Your participation in Ag Day is critical in helping us spread this positive message about agriculture. If you are interested in planning an event, download your Planning Guide today. Of course, there are other ways you can lend your support, including sending a letter to your local newspaper, calling your Congressional representatives or simply sharing information about agriculture with youngsters in your community.

Where Can I Find More Information?

Our Ram - Gideon has left us.....

Wednesday brought sad news to the farm.  Our Ram - Gideon passed away.  We have had him for nine years.  He was a mean old cranky ram but he produce many beautiful lambs.  My husband promised the lady we bought him from that he would never sell him and we never did.
