Prairie Winds

Have you ever heard that the wind howls......well it is howling right now on the prairies!!! We have had wind for the last few days.....about 20 mph with gusts up to 40+- . I took a walk this morning and YES the wind DOES howl. Makes us wonder just what it will be like this winter.....-20 degrees with winds at 40 mph????? But we take each day as it comes.

Yesterday morning we watched a doe leave her twin fawns behind in the weeds in the pasture just west of us. We could see them off and on during the day so we knew they were staying put. At dusk we got to see the doe come and retrieve the two. Mama made a graceful jump over the barbed wire fence and we wondered how those little ones would make it. Well, the fence is 3 strands.....so inbetween the bottom and middle wires.....no problem.

The land really needs a good rain....things are getting very dry. But it is still a beautiful sight.....all the hay bales and the cattle "on a thousand hills".

I have been preparing a lot of "stuff" for the beginning of Release Time which we have dubbed "Promised Land". It really seems that God is directing my thoughts and preparations are coming along very nicely.

We will really cherish your prayers once "Promised Land" begins. Thank you for your support!!

Love, Gary and Barb
