Ugh, life and it's ending is expected on a farm but when Mother Nature gets cruel it can really slap you in the face.
Sure hope you feel better soon. Have you been using any new products for pest control or such lately? Just a thought...:hugs

Thank you so much for all the kind words and encouragement everyone, it means a lot and it really made me smile.

Sigh, been a rough couple of days, with fevers, vomiting, etc but finally, I’m better. Don’t know what caused me to be sick, maybe the animals? Dunno. But it was rough, very rough.

Thankfully I’m better now.


God is so good. And I trust that he knows what he's doing and is watching over me, even when sometimes it doesn't feel like it.


Well, he is!

For ages, I have been wanting to get back into the swing of caring for baby joeys……………..and look who was found in his slightly bloated mum who was in the middle of the road.

He's going to be a lot of work. Every 3 hours he needs a feed.....around the clock. Bless his little heart, if we didn't find him, well......dont think he would be alive.

He is a sweetheart. And very small.

For those of you who pray, please pray that this little guy will survive and will flourish, for his sake and mine. I can't handle another heartbreak right now, and the little fella deserves a really good life.

He has taken his first bottle really well, actually need to go feed him now.

I'm in love.

Thank you, :) I just spent the last half an hour trying to keep his body temp warm……if he gets too cold he can die.

He sure is, but also is a lot of hard work---he is so small!

Thanks again, it sure does feel good to be feeling well.

:hugs You are awesome. :bow You don't have enough going on but to add saving a baby wild animal to the mix. :fl Hope he thrives for you.

Why thank you,:D =D Yeah, he is making me pretty tired but it is worth it to get him settled in and thriving. Thanks, I'm really hoping he makes it.
