Adventures in Haymarsh

Tomatoes πŸ…

Today, we sauced the tomatoes.Β  I’ll be honest, the garden does not make us money, and the amount of time and work that’s put into preparing, planting, weeding, harvesting, sorting, just adds to the work load. But, the food it produces is so delicious!Β Β 

Midway through canning it was lunch time, I grabbed a bowl full of sauced tomatoes and made some of the most savory and delicious tomato soup I have eaten!

Godmothers

These two lucky little ones were able to see their Godmothers today.

Uncle Hilary flew in to GU this morning with Anna.
We had some lovely, unexpected guests today…so happy that they were able to swing in for a short visit.

Rosie

Andrew worked on his horse training skills this afternoon despite the strong wind!

Teaching Grandpa’s filly, Rosie, to accept the halter.
Rosie’s dam is a registered Quarter Horse and her sire is a registered Suffolk, so she is part workhorse.
Had some Sunday visitors.

Networking

I think the neatest part about this ranching way of life, besides it involving the whole family, is meeting new people almost every job.

Met 6 new people.

2nd cattle drive before noon.

Andrew took this oneπŸ’•
Our Little Pumpkins πŸ’–πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’™
Andrew was happy to wrap up some yard work. He finished after dark.

Marsh Hay

The marsh gave us more bales than we had expected!Β  With the dry weather we have been having, Grandpa was able to harvest further into the marsh.

Hauling bales double time to get them out of the marsh in case it rains.
Grandpa’s 81 year old cousin improved the stockdam at the home place… when he retires he’ll be missed.

Happy October🍁

Parking the baler for the year.
Grandpa can no longer climb to let the air out, so now it’s my turn.
Moved some heifers with…
my Lil’ pardner. πŸ’™
Pretty neat working with my son.
Piano 🎹 practice. He was challenged to memorize a song for next week.
Enjoys helping with morning chores.
My little “Shadow.”
Early morning sunrise… getting ready to haul bales.
Blast from the past… children grow up so fast!
They found a pumpkin that they missed in the patch! A beautiful fall evening.
