TWINS! Clover had her babies on Sunday night, one of each 🙂 Help us with names that start with “C”….We’ve had Cassidy, Corduroy, and Captain in the past… More pictures soon! They are already jumping and playing! 🙂 Such a beautiful blessing! Little Valient, born April 26th to Violet, is pictured in our Wrangler Clinic pictures. He’s growing so fast!
Girl Scout Blessings
An incredible weekend of activity at Guided Hope, starting with a wonderful blessing from a local Girl Scout troop! Many thanks to these girls for their generous support of Guided Hope so that we may continue to serve children and families in our community! We enjoyed having them out for chores and fun 🙂
Welcome, Valentino!
Violet, one of our Nigerian Dwarf does, had a beautiful baby buckling! Valentino, Italian for “brave,” arrived Tuesday night. He weighs about 5 pounds. He’s cuddled in with mom to stay warm during our April snow showers. Although it’s chilly, we praise God for the moisture for our hay field and our new arrival!
Do you have a “Green Thumb?”
It’s time to get the Guided Hope garden planted! Our dirt is tilled and ready for our team to start. Sign up to volunteer with other “Green Thumb” Ranch Hand friends to serve our guests with your gardening skills! The harvest will be shared with guests and volunteers. 🙂 Click here for more Ranch Hand Volunteer information.
