TODAY’S PASTURE TOUR

Just when I was thinking my lifestyle was humdrum and workaday, an opportunity for excitement comes my way: a pasture tour is scheduled for this evening in Washington County, just north of here. You know how they decorate swank mansions for Christmas and have house tours to raise money? Well, these are pasture tours. To the discerning eye, they’re just as exciting.

According to an item in the nearby small-town paper, some folks have planted a cross between turnips and rape that’s just the in thing in midsummer forage.

(That’s “rape” as in the mustard-type plant, not “rape” as in that terrible thing.)

The next pasture tour will show cool and warm season grasses in a rotation grazing system.

Both pasture tours remind me a lot of what happens in our kitchen on these summer weekends with four children all on wacky schedules. Foraging and grazing. Unh HUH.

Next week they’re touring a sod farm. Be still, my beating heart.

PRAYER REQUEST: Thank You, Father, for bringing my mother, daughter Eden and niece Nikki home safe and sound from their Caribbean adventure so far away. Thank You that the girls were obedient, that they avoided all forms of trouble, that the ship staff were so pleasant and helpful, and that Eden did, too, get a little homesick near the end of the trip. Grant Mom rest and the knowledge that she has given those two teenagers some wonderful lifelong memories. (Proverbs 25:25)
