Turning the Corner

Christina standing out in the pasture — it's a beautiful sight.  It's been a day and a half since we gave her calcium and we are calling the milk fever over.  Milking is beginning to fall into a normal pattern but we're still re-remembering every habit.  Pretty soon we're hoping to make it to the cow shed with *all* the things we need instead of just most of them.

As I was worried that Christina wasn't really pregnant (= no milk), we've also been dealing with no eggs.  Over two weeks ago we butchered and we haven't seen an egg since.  We've gotten by with flax seed in baking and frozen eggs, but I'd like some eggs from our almost 40 hens who are eating well.  Today we found an egg.  Praise God!  Maybe they're finally getting started.

Waiting four days after antibiotics means our first fresh milk will be Thursday.  Our eggs are coming on.  Our time of scarcity has turned into abundance!  It's a reminder that God's abundance is never farther than right around the corner.
