betsy and nat

Well, we left Denver yesterday morning around 8.  By midnight (with an hour factored in for the time zone change) we were home to Nat’s parents’ house.  The drive was long, but the beginning of it was very beautiful, with crazy amounts of frost on the grass and the trees:

pretty cute, huh?

In other news, the farm in Alabama that we have been looking forward to working on starting in January has cancelled on us — really at the last minute.  We are pretty disappointed, and are open to any reasonable suggestions you all have as to what we should do until it is the regular growing season again.  We have been looking for another farm, but so far have only gotten responses that they do not need any help right now, or already have all the help they need.  We really need direction from God on this one, so please keep us in your prayers.
