Round 1 of Weaning & Cold Cattle Move

October 26, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

It says it’s 37° but that cold blustery wind sure made the cattle drive a long one! All’s well that ends well!

Making the turn for their new Fall pasture.

Mr. Bulldozer politely waited for us to finish.

Another round of saucing tomatoes. Our friend, Tracy was able to eat supper with us after the cattle drive.

Practicing for Adam & Lateasha’s wedding.

It’s neat to have our own little “concert!”

Hay Hauling, Cattle Moving, & Well Read Mom

October 25, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

We’ve been meeting ourselves coming and going, I suppose it should be expected during an Autumn like this one. Crunch time while the weather permits!

Windtower crew is working 24/7 to finish before winter…two windtowers overlook Haymarsh.

Grandma Mary’s sister and some of her family came for a visit the night of Well Read Mom book group.

Mom & Ricki (Great Aunt Neva’s granddaughter)

Most well attended Well Read Mom group yet!

Learning how to dunk a basketball with the high schoolers.

It was warm today, 64 F at one point when I looked, so we made the most of it and stayed outside until dark.

Made a visit to the Good Shepherd statue, the weather was beautiful tonight.

12 Years

October 20, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

12 years ago today I began an incredible journey with a best friend, I pray as the marriage blessing goes, we are blessed to know our “Children’s Children.” God willing even our Children’s, Children, Children! An interesting sidenote…my Godparents Ted & Ella were also married on October 20th. As well as my Confirmation Sponsor and her husband, Anna & Jay! I said a prayer today for All of You who encouraged, supported, and Blessed us on our Wedding Day! So Many good folks to thank! Some have passed on to the Other Side of this Life, Others are Still Here Encouraging Us To Sainthood.

God has Blessed us very much these last twelve years & He’s given us the strength to get through the challenging times!

The Best

Sometimes a woman has to admit when she has the best husband. I will admit that today! Next to St. Joseph, I married the most wonderful man. When I looked out the window after the school bus left, I saw this…

🌞 on our Home Sweet Home! Praise the Lord!

I was explaining to Andrew that I would need the tractor for the 50 to 100 lb pumpkins and here he even got some cornstalks for me by 7:45 this morning!

Simon is in school, I’m a little sad he’s not in this picture since he’s the one who planted the pumpkins.

One of those “stylized” photos my phone makes.

Kindness

In case you need a good reason to tear up today…

Hope your day is full of kindness & gratefulness.🤍

Salsa

What does a married couple do at 9:30 pm on a Monday night? Make salsa, of course.

Specialized onion glasses: highly recommended if you don’t like tears from chopping onions.

Plans Change

We had it planned on the calendar to wean one of the herds today. Due to the snow and unfrozen mud…plans changed.

Homeward bound…what a good, big brother!

Peter Piper sliced a peck of pickled peppers and his three sons watched.🌶️🥵🔥

Optimistic

October 11, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

I am choosing to be optimistic. I put on the Fall Leaves tablecloth and the sun is out, even though it’s mighty windy out. I feel for the livestock, especially for those in areas getting the worst of this storm.
