New ways to save money: onion soup once a week, porridge every day, We bought a years supply of wheat berries for very little money. We use it to make bread, and hot cereal etc. We gave our male goat away to save money on alfalfa

God's provision: wool sweaters, bedding, free wood flooring for kitchen, clothes for the boys, our credit card debt has been paid in full.

Things we could really use: laying chickens, healthy meat (still alive is ok), grammar workbooks (not text books), Country Living grain mill (I am thankfully borrowing a grinder right now but, this kind would be more efficient., 100% cotton fabric, yarn, wool blankets or fabric, wood for Ephraim, produce, grains, beans etc, king size blanket, and fire wood.

Projects: We repaired a collapsed goat shed. We bought wood for less than $40 and Ephraim, Havilah and Asaph were able to completely replace the roof and 2 sides in two days. The goats are about to kid so we will have plenty of milk (1.5 gallons a day) after letting the kids nurse for two months. We are starting to do projects to increase the value of our home. We want to be ready if God makes a way for us to make another lifestyle change. One project is putting wood paneling on a bedroom ceiling that needed repair. Another project will be finishing a bathroom downstairs that was started before we moved in.
Nehemiah has been working on upper teeth. If you are blessed to have him kissing on your cheek or lips, you may be surprised by a sudden painful nibble. Ephraim is working on wooden welcome signs, staffs and putting up that wood ceiling. Havilah makes crocheted hats, scarves and baby bonnets. Asaph is a fantastic cook and assistant to Ephraim's projects. Zuriel is super cute and Naphtali looks like a little Leon.
That's about it. I wish you would all comment more on any of the blogs, if there is anyone out there. Love, the Goodenough's
