"The mission of Heifer International is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. This ranch is over 1,200 acres and trains volunteers from all over the world to help educate others to pass on the gift. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, Heifer empowers them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope."<br />

He is an early bird and loves to get up and go outside in the morning. I think he's excited to wake up and see what each new day brings. He is full of joy and expectation. The quiet time for him in the morning alone, gives him freedom to think, observe, and wonder at the world around him.<br />

And yes, it seems to take a whole day. My son was excited to help pick and he promptly woke me at 6 a.m. I'm a little slow in the morning but being out in the garden early, is a peaceful place to be. Everything seems so still and quiet and if you listen closely, you can hear the morning awake with the bird's songs.<br />

The sunrise, the fertile ground, the growing season, the rain, the miracle of God's creation from the seed, to a plant, to food that will sustain us, the birds singing, the woodpecker pecking, the rooster crowing, the health to harvest this food, the time with my son....the gratitude seemed to pour out of my heart to the Lord this morning.</div><br />
I need to take more time to be still, be quiet, and daily be thankful for the little things. There is an amazing joy in recognizing God's abundant blessings.<br />

Over the last year, we have learned to identify and name over 40 species of birds....mostly those found in our own backyard. We are learning the unique calls, which I imagine will take a lifetime of patient observation and attention. It has become a very enjoyable hobby for all of us.<br />

The classes met for two, half days and they chose two categories of art. At the end of the second day, we all watched a performance by the drama team based on the book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Great-Kapok-Tree-Amazon-Forest/dp/015200520X">The Great Kupok Tree</a>. We packed lunches and stayed the day, to play with friends.<br />
