Month: November 2021 (Page 1 of 3)

I mentioned to the children this morning that when they smell Ginger snaps in our house, they should know something very exciting is coming in the next month! They heard that, and they just had to help bake… It was warm enough to bring our little Lucy along for watering the cattle on the first run today.

Father, We have gathered to share a meal in Your honor. Thank You for putting us together as family, and thank You for this food. Bless it to our bodies, Lord.

We received a dusting of snow today.

Of Jacobson Cuties!

This November has provided some beautiful sunsets. 

Happy Feast of Christ the King everyone!  Andrew and I have been doctoring and playing pharmacist to our three youngest children these last 10 days or so.  Thank God they’re on the upswing.  I’ve always struggled in life and especially once I became a mother, with the fact that little ones have to suffer.  They’ve done nothing wrong, they haven’t sinned.  Why does the rain fall on the just and unjust?  Definitely a question I’m going to ask the Creator when I’ve departed from this life.  I’ve had some fun preparing one of the rooms as a “girls” room.

The cow was apparently chewing/sucking on the antler… apparently cattle will do that.  She got it wrapped around her jaw and one of the prongs was in her mouth.  With the help of two expert riders she was able to be rounded up and trailered and the antler was removed.

A neighbor sent us a picture of one of our cows.

Our morning started with such promise.  No wind, sunny, and crisp.  Then @ 7:30, we got a call, cows are out.  Andrew, the three little ones, and I got them back in.  Grandpa hauled two quick loads of water from town but all day the herd was uneasy.  Then after Andrew and Ambrose took off to check them, it was decided that after they discovered 5 cows who brought themselves to winter pasture, it was time to move them….the move started after dark and 5 amazing people showed up to help with 15 minutes heads up…we were a friend in need today and we know our good neighbors better, we are blessed to have them.

A full moon to move cattle by.

A full day that ended well.

We had a hydrant have problems…Opp Well & Drilling came and made short work of fixing the problem.
