I’m not sure if I’ll ever get excited about snow falling before December 23 but being around the young ones and seeing their excitement over the first snowfall, is pretty fun to see❄️

A reading from the Book of Tobit 

On their wedding night Tobiah arose from bed and said to his wife, “Sister, get up. Let us pray and beg  our Lord to have mercy on us and to grant us  deliverance.” Sarah got up, and they started to pray and beg that deliverance might be theirs. They began with these words:  

“Blessed are you, O God of our fathers; praised be your name forever and ever. Let the heavens and  all your creation praise you forever. You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support; and from these two the human race descended. You said, ‘It is not good for the man to  be alone; let us make him a partner like himself.’  Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not because of lust, but for a noble purpose. Call down your mercy on me and on her, and allow us to live together to a happy old age.”  

They said together, “Amen, amen.”

We received enough snow to have to shovel the deck.  The heifers are still missing their mamas, but they are adjusting.

Today we are weaning heifers, steers will be weaned in a couple of weeks.  Got our first dusting of snow this morning.

This fence was built in 1983, so today Grandpa, Grandma, Mary, and I had some “stitch in time” work to do before weaning.

Grandpa’s been cleaning our weaning corrals.  Uncle Peter came over with his skidsteer today to do the “fine-tuning” work.

Thanks to the help of my wonderful niece, we were able to attend the banquet fundraiser for the NDSU Newman Center.
