Happy Sunday 🌞

August 29, 2021 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

Off to Mass.

Diaper changed ✅, Nutritious meal & Tummy full ✅, Nap time 😴

(My prayer this Sunday is that my daughters, possible granddaughters, and great-granddaughters, and so forth, may always live in a country where they are loved, respected, and looked upon lovingly as daughters of God. My heart hurts for those infant baby girls, girls, and women who suffer around the world.)

Cow/calf pair & Bull

August 28, 2021 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

Today we rounded up a cow/calf pair and a bull.

Setting up the panels, we had to move them to two different pastures after we loaded them.

Gator loaded up and arriving at the next pasture.

Gathering the bull, had to use all sort of stock sense on him… He wasn’t keen on being loaded up.

Helped rounding up by providing deep meditation and prayers.

After everyone was loaded up he noticed a large spider on the fence.

This young man knows how to put up an electric fence better than I do, because he has been helping Dad all summer long.

School Days 🍎

The curriculum I ordered for Ignatius came in yesterday, so we were able to start today!

Making monster cookies for after-school snack🍪

Many of us are happy Andrew’s on the school board again.

Fun crafts work well to keep them occupied as I make supper. Thank you Marie!

Wheat Straw

We are grateful that my uncle offered to sell us his wheat straw. The total amount looks bleak… we’ll be lucky to have 25 bales off a 150 acre field.

Gentle Soul

We were blessed by a visit by a gentle soul yesterday!

I thought some of these explained well why agriculture folks do what they do. WRM is starting the year off by reading a book by Wendell Berry.

Fresh straw, Andrew & Co. Cleaned the coop on Saturday.

Not sure if you can see the detail of the chicks…but these are Ambrose’s. They are quite eye catching and unique…blue cochins, Easter Eggers, and a variety of cochins.

Youth Rodeo 🏇

Andrew and the 4 oldest were able to squeeze in a Youth Rodeo as summer comes to an end and school begins. They all enjoyed the day…From goat tail untying to mutton busting to stick horse poles and barrels, each child had their favorite rodeo memory.

Rain shower🌧️

We’re getting a rain shower tonight, I don’t remember the last time we had measurable rain. I finally got around to writing “thank you cards” for the Baptism gifts.

This is interesting… thought I’d share. This would be Lucy’s great, great, great Grandma and Grandpa, my Great Aunt Neva gave it as part of her gift to Lucy.

They all enjoyed helping Lucy open her gifts 💝

Rocket is turning in to a good looking little stallion.

Grandpa Bob and Uncle Chris, I can’t help but smile when I go in the garage, thank you again for all of your cleaning and organizing of it!

First Day of School 🏫

Our eight-year-old posted this the other day we had to chuckle… We sure miss our two oldest sons and it’s only been a couple of hours.

Baptism 🕊️

August 15, 2021 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

She’s a baptized member of Christ’s Family! Lucy was surrounded by helpful family this entire weekend who helped prepare the house for the Baptism supper, she has musically talented uncles who helped make the Mass extra beautiful and the Meyers sure provided a tasty supper for all to enjoy! So many folks helped out in so many ways.
