Round up day

We rounded up and headed some of the calves to the sale barn.ย  A beautiful day.ย  Now prayers for a good price…it’s helpful when Family Farm/Ranchers get a “just wage” for their year’s long work.ย  We had gorgeous weather, almost too hot for January…and great helpers made the day go smooth.

Last night this crew butchered 2 roosters. I think it’s fair to say my parents lived a “homestead” life, encouraging self sustainability, and tried to teach me some of those skills. Not much of it stayed in my memory, so Grandpa is trying to pass on some of that knowledge to a younger generation.

Love plant

The first floral gift that Andrew gifted me was a plant.ย  ย I jokingly called it our “love plant.” The third year I had it, I gave it a haircut that may have briefly snuffed the life out of it, then it grew again.ย  It made several moves in Fargo, then out west, was finally transferred to our house on a frigid January day in 2019 and today….it bloomed for the first time in 13 years!

Knight

The boys are proud of this rooster, he’s a White Faced Black Spanish.ย  He was the “extra” sent with the batch last summer.ย  They named him, Knight, I think he’s quite eye catching.

On our way home after collecting eggs. This winter has been so mild thus far. Today, I’m wondering is it January or April?

Fun to be 1!

I’m not sure if it’s because she was born during the holidays, if it’s because she’s the fourth child, or if it’s because she began walking at 10 months, but this Baby has sure grown quickly! Seems as if we just brought her home from the hospital!
Santa brought us matching aprons ๐Ÿ’•

Merry Christmas!

Our dear friends and loved ones, may you know the love and joy that the Baby born in a manger brings!

Merry Christmas!๐ŸŽ„
Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
