Thank You, Lord, for Your Blessings and Protection!

We have had LOTS of rain lately!

It has been so good for our area, as it has been a particularly dry summer and fall.

We were surprised though this morning to see our normally dry little pond full to overflowing!

 We also found out at the end of the day today, that with all this heavy rain,

came a landslide on the main country road out to our house.

We are praising the Lord for His protection as we realized that this landslide that took out trees and downed power lines happened just moments after Ted and I passed by in our van on the way to take him to the doctor, and just before Caroline tried to pass by in the car. 

 (Caroline left just about 15 minutes after we did for errands in town,

and by the time she got to the area, a man had his truck blocking the road and was telling folks that the road was impassable.)  

Just one of the trees that fell across the road just moments after we passed by and before Caroline came up to the area.

Thank you, Lord, for your protection!

And this is what was going on back at home while we were away . . .
(Victoria took all these photos!)

This is a perfect example of what we call "Joe's World!" 

 Oh, and since I took these photos of Joe off of Victoria's camera card . . .

I thought it is fitting to add these photos of the newly delivered baby goats.  These are from Poppy, the pregnant goat that we took with us to Leavenworth.  She waited to have her babies until about 11:30pm Monday night!!! 

 Two bucks and a doe!

Praise the Lord, mama and all three 8 lb-ers are doing good!
