The boys made their first pony sale. Twinkle has a new home. Beth is an excellent horse trainer and has a 5-year-old daughter and a three year old son that are so excited for their new pony! We couldn’t ask for a better home for Twinkle.

Andrew is out harrowing the field prepping the ground for some drought tolerant clover he’s going to plant. As you can see by the dust, we could use prayers for adequate rain.
It was imperative that the new little calf get a personalized ear tag (if you know our second child, you’ll understand this statement). Thank goodness for Grandpa and his help… The only thing is we’re going to have to tell Grandpa that it’s spelled Sh ei la!
We had our first calf of 2021! Andrew was able to witness the miracle of life during morning chores, before he left to do a full day of school observation since he’s on the School Board. Ambrosia is our milk cow, and Ambrose named the new baby heifer, Sheila. 💖
Our Bishop approved Stations of the Cross at St. Clements for the remaining Fridays of Lent. We had a beautiful gathering of 14 participants with our oldest being able to help out for the first time by carrying the cross.💜

The Master Chef this morning for breakfast cooked up a duck egg and put it in one bowl and a chicken egg and put it in the other bowl. I believe the final vote was three to 2 in preference of duck eggs over chicken eggs. The duck expert on the farm claims that White Peking ducks have 200 eggs a year on average and the Rouen ducks are not actually very good layers. Part of the discussion was how duck eggs are a bit more grittier. I, for one, prefer our fluffy, tasty, chicken eggs.
There is so much joy being a Homemaker. Feeling entirely Blessed to be a part of these little ones’ lives full time. I’m going to miss the little pitter patter feet sounds and the simple joy that is contagious around children.
Some heifers and yearlings are grazing on the hill and others have walked down to clean up the hay from yesterday.
We lost a big, beautiful, bred, 5 year old, Black Simmental/Cross cow on Saturday. It’s sad and frustrating because there was no apparent cause of death. I keep going back to the saying, my Grandma used to say, “If you are going to have livestock, you’re going to have dead stock.” My Dad shared this article he just read, I guess we’re not the only ones.
