Mighty is the Wind!!!

We have learned how mighty the wind can be around here.  Our army tent has been blown down twice and now it has finally given up entirely!  We spent the last two weeks on a trip to a Family Camp in Kentucky.  Arrived back to the ranch on Friday afternoon to this...

Our tent as it now lays.


The tent is now a thing of the past.  It tore right in two!  The guys are now in the process of renting a storage unit to put our "stuff."  I am sure that most of our things are probably not worth saving from the wind and rain, but for some reason we are determined to save them.

Our tent.

The bus has truly been wonderful!!  Even in the midst of all the bad weather, it has provided us with terrific shelter.
OUR AMAZING BUS!!!!!!!!


We now have a new family living on the property with us.  They are staying in the 5th wheel.  It has been a blessing to have them here.   They took care of the animals and gardens while we were gone.  We are really starting to look like a campground.  The guys now have 6 campsites ready with water, sewer, and electricity.  Looking good!!



The boys working hard on the water lines.
The water is all set up to pump from the lake to the gardens.  This has been a huge help!  So much easier to water than when we had to haul water.  The gardens are doing OK!  Something got in and ate all the peas, but the onions and potatos are looking terrific.  We are supposed to freeze here tonight and our hope is to put in tomatos and bell peppers soon.

More work on the water lines.
Life on the ranch is not easy, but we think it is the best!!  Every little thing we do to improve the place just makes things better.  We are determined and pray that the Father in heaven will bless our efforts!!
