Teachers

May 6, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Andrew and I were able to attend a fun little teacher appreciation gathering last night.  Community, support, and gratefulness…what beautiful things!  

‘The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see.’ –Alexandra K. Trenfor

‘A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.’ –Thomas Carruthers

‘The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.’ ― William Arthur Ward

Strawberry/Rhubarb Crisp Pie

Tart and sweet sounded good today.

Checking on the little calf.
Grandpa showing Ignatius how to bottle feed our calf until Matilda the milk cow is ready to take care of the little heifer.
Hauling water to a pasture that has 2 dry stockdams. There’s so much extra work for ranchers in a drought. On the positive side… for the rest of my life I may never look at a full stockdam the same. In fact, the next time I see one, I may look to the Heavens and Praise God for being a generous giver!

Twin Calves

May 3, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Twin calves are both a blessing and a bother.  We are at 125% for our calf crop thus far… would be lovely to finish at that percentage…we have just begun though.  It takes a pretty good cow to accept and take care of both calves.

Andrew found this tired cow this morning. She’s only accepting the bigger, stronger twin.
The little abandoned twin will now belong to milk cow Matilda… it’s nice Grandpa keeps a milk cow around for the colostrum and a nurse cow.

Happy May🌷

Happy Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.  Gotta love that man!  He helped raise God’s son, he was humble, and yet is known as the “terror of demons.”  St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!

We sold our first Registered British White Bull. He’s off to Montana!
Grandma is accompanying Grandpa on the trip.
So windy today 🌬️. She really had to lean in to the chores. She’s a bit of a lightweight for a 15 month old, but the cans help weigh her down 😉
Saturday family time….we hand planted 15 trees…
…Mr. Engineer (the perfectionist) runs a line and measures out the distance between every tree…
Evening chores with Sheila in the background … she’s growing…
…Grandpa prepped some land for corn (the ducks loved the newly tilled land)…
…then we planted potatoes!
Spring Saturdays on the Farm are very busy days. In spite of the wind, it was a happy, memorable day!
