Smokin’ ๐Ÿฅ“

Andrew is smoking his bacon!

She may have partied too hard last night ๐Ÿ’•
Feeding time! Such a nice group of heifers.
Andrew made the tastiest bacon!
Waiting patiently for some bacon to fry.
Preparing to wrap the bacon.
Life is good in God’s country.
Bacon, Bacon, Bacon! Mmmmmm….mmmmm…..mmmmm!
& that’s a wrap! Best bacon this side of the Mississippi!

Aging

God’s blessed me with the most amazing friends and family!โ™ฅ๏ธ
On our way to Swimming on Sunday! To celebrate my aging self.
Then treated to a tasty meal. Yum!
My age in hexadecimal…this is what happens when one is married to an engineer.

Weaning Steers

Today we weaned steers with the help of Don, Tracy, Glenn, Chelsea, and Andy.ย  It was a blessed and safe weaning.ย ย 

It was a foggy, damp, and chilly morning.
Yesterday, Grandpa and I had to doctor a sick heifer.
For a change of pace I made some no-bake white chocolate, marshmallow, peanut butter treats for the helpers.
& Seven Layer Bars. They are one of my favorites.
Andrew is taking part of the afternoon and flattening out the extra scoria in our yard.

Bacon ๐Ÿฅ“

He is curing his own bacon. Local butchers are booked out until next summer. Desperate times call for desperate measures.๐Ÿ˜„
Thank goodness for beauticians! Once in a blue moon I get away to get my haircut and I sure appreciate it!
This little lady decided to start walking last week… It is such a fun journey to see her reach milestones. Too many parents don’t get the great blessing of watching their child learn to walk and yet, God has given Andrew and I four chances to see our babies walk. Praise Him!

Happy End of October

An article sent to me by a Fargo friend…old, but still interesting. I’ve seen it from the highway, but haven’t driven up to it.
