The beauty of life is this….. wonderful things happen regardless of chaos or calm. Meet Justice. A curious thing about this little guy….. we had just about decided that his mama was sterile and we were going to have to let her go. 3 months ago I noticed that she appeared to be preggo, but I didn’t want to hold out too much hope since she’s kinda “big boned ” and has shown false signs before. Rosie continued to show small signs that got bigger and more obvious, so I knew we had turned a corner with her… and goodness was surely coming. Last night I knew we were less than 24hrs from go time.
Justice was delivered early this morning.❤
Keep the faith friends. Sometimes when you are ready to bail out, that’s when God shows up.
Have a beautiful day!

Jupiter & Saturn
Is anyone else out there all excited about the ‘Christmas Star’ we will get to see tonight? Dec 21st is the darkest (darkest because it’s the longest) night of the year.
I’m not well versed in astronomy, although I do love dark nights and stargazing…. Saturn and Jupiter (the two biggest planets) are going to be the visibly closest together they’ve been in over 800 years.
Praying for clear skies tonight to see this beauty. NASA recommends looking towards the low southwest about an hour after sunset. For those of us in north Texas, sunset happens at 5:23pm today….. so head on outside around 6:20pm CST and take a look!
(I’m attaching a link that offers a live stream of the event courtesy of the Lowell Observatory. It starts at 6pm CST if it’s hard to see the night sky wherever you are: https://astronomy.com/…/jupiter-and-saturn-will-form...

(Why am I grateful to Young Living, and how does this play a part in viewing the star tonight? 🧐 I’ve spent the majority of my life behind a pharmacy counter unable to participate in small… but big things… like this. God and YL have given me the second half of my life to participate instead of being sidelined by employee duty. 🙌)
Oily Farm Squirrel
For those of you who don’t know this furry face yet, this is Henri the #oilyfarmsquirrel ! She is part of our porch picnics and dear part of our farm life. If you’ve been around for the duration, you’ll know this question…. What Young Living supplement was she raised on? 😍
We love our Henri 💓

Salmon – A Sad Reality
Well…. this is a disappointing truth. I have to be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of salmon until I tasted true wild caught in Washington state a few years ago. #ohmyword! Sadly, I haven’t had it since, only because….. well, when you’ve had the best…. how do you go back to mediocre?
Turns out, mediocre might reflect the flavor, but “toxic” is actually a more justifiable adjective. I’ll let you read the article or watch the video yourself. Here are my takeaway 🤯 ‘s:
😳 more than 1/3rd of “wild caught” salmon isn’t wild caught.
😳 the world produces more farmed (and toxic) fish than it does beef. Factory farming fish is a danger to the environment by polluting the waterways with excessive crowding , fish waste, and a toxic soup of fish food (made of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, PCB’s, and GMO’d crops pelletized into fish food).
😳 the “not wild ‘wild caught'” salmon is actually salmon that has escaped factory farming netted pens.
😳 Farmed salmon has 8x higher toxin loads than true wild caught salmon.
😳 Farmed Salmon contains far higher amounts of Omega6’s (It’s bad for the body to have a high Omega 6 vs Omega 3 ratio)
😳 When a factory farmed salmon breeds with a wild caught salmon, the babies don’t tend to survive because they are genetically not equipped.
💗🐟 💗 You can find healthy Salmon by looking for the MARINE STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (MSC) logo on the packaging. (Logo: MSC plus a blue checkmark that is in the shape of a fish)
If you are eating at a restaurant…. ask the hard questions before you order Salmon!
enjoy your weekend!

Critter Crate Care
Dog crates are used for many things on a farm….. you just never know what kind of critter you’ll have to be either caretaking or transporting. 🐰🐔🐍🐢🐱🐀#truth
Birds are fairly sensitive to toxins, and I’ve used this recipe with great success both in the coop and when cleaning transport crates.
Note: it also works well for kitty litter boxes AND, once you have the spray mixed up (I personally just use 8 oz of water + the other ingredients), you can use it as a misting spray over your kitty litter if it is a little stinky on occasion. #poopourri
