The new year started off at 32 degrees on the farm. The chickens are working on the compost pile, the dogs are laying around, the cows are munching happily on hay. It’s a beautiful day!“WONDERING IF… ” Anyone interested in having a pastured turkey for processing at Thanksgiving or other time in the year? We…
While MM and I were off visiting family, one of the chickens cut her foot. The kids have been taking care of her and doing a great job at it! They’ve cleaned, doctored and bandaged her up so that she is healing nicely. Love having the kids on the farm.
It’s Christmas time! Merry Christmas from the farm to all our friends and family. Thanking God for all his provision especially the gift of his son – born, died, buried, and rose again! YAY!
We’ve been busy working on remodeling the cattle stalls. We were not planning to do this just yet but decided that we’d better not wait. Watching our moo girls indicates that their babies are active. And because we don’t know for sure how far along they are we decided to go ahead with the remodel…
It’s overcast and wet on the farm today but not as cold. Yay! However, the wind is a bit fierce. We are getting ready for the Annual Christmas Event around here. Decorating, cleaning, planning the food list, cleaning, working on Christmas cards. Yes, it’s a wonderful day!

Snow. That is what it is. Got out this morning and made sure the animals all had food and water. Then went back out later to make sure the water wasn’t freezing up quickly. Sweet Pea is one of the busiest dogs I have ever seen. The snow was smooth and beautiful this morning. Bear…
It is cold out here. I’m so thankful for a fireplace and wood to heat the house. I’m praying for those that have to work out in this weather. Although it is 28 degrees just outside the office window, the wind chill makes being outside miserable. Our cows seem to be indifferent about the cold…
We have a lovely fall decoration display on our porch. It has pumpkins, marigolds, broom corn and fake leaves arranged nicely on a bale of straw. Sweet Pea (our blue heeler) likes to rearrange the pumpkins and check them out regularly. But, today I noticed that all but one had been removed from the bale….
I hate the time change each time it rolls around. Why can’t we leave well enough alone? Why are we trying to “fix” it by changing it twice a year? ugh. Autumn is in full swing around here. The trees by the house are in camouflage and it’s a cool 61 degrees this afternoon. Our…
