Godmothers

These two lucky little ones were able to see their Godmothers today.

Uncle Hilary flew in to GU this morning with Anna.
We had some lovely, unexpected guests today…so happy that they were able to swing in for a short visit.

Rosie

Andrew worked on his horse training skills this afternoon despite the strong wind!

Teaching Grandpa’s filly, Rosie, to accept the halter.
Rosie’s dam is a registered Quarter Horse and her sire is a registered Suffolk, so she is part workhorse.
Had some Sunday visitors.

Networking

I think the neatest part about this ranching way of life, besides it involving the whole family, is meeting new people almost every job.

Met 6 new people.

2nd cattle drive before noon.

Andrew took this one๐Ÿ’•
Our Little Pumpkins ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™
Andrew was happy to wrap up some yard work. He finished after dark.

Marsh Hay

The marsh gave us more bales than we had expected!ย  With the dry weather we have been having, Grandpa was able to harvest further into the marsh.

Hauling bales double time to get them out of the marsh in case it rains.
Grandpa’s 81 year old cousin improved the stockdam at the home place… when he retires he’ll be missed.

Happy October๐Ÿ

Parking the baler for the year.
Grandpa can no longer climb to let the air out, so now it’s my turn.
Moved some heifers with…
my Lil’ pardner. ๐Ÿ’™
Pretty neat working with my son.
Piano ๐ŸŽน practice. He was challenged to memorize a song for next week.
Enjoys helping with morning chores.
My little “Shadow.”
Early morning sunrise… getting ready to haul bales.
Blast from the past… children grow up so fast!
They found a pumpkin that they missed in the patch! A beautiful fall evening.

Tomatoes ๐Ÿ…

Every third day or so, Mary and I need to glean through the tomatoes to collect the ripe ones and dispose of the rotten ones.

These are the tomotoes we collected today.
He likes to make the yard look festive.
Clever Daddy made a hose for a watering tub for us so we don’t have to work so hard keeping the ducks happy.
Watering Mary’s Maple ๐Ÿ
Ginger๐Ÿพ
Likely the last bouquet of the year from the yard flowers.

Colors

The trees are a beautiful autumn bouquet right now.

Youth deer hunting season has begun and Grandpa’s Chiropractor’s daughter tagged her first buck.
We hosted Sioux Falls, SD friends and their children experienced Family Farm life for the weekend. Their 8 year old said she wants to stay, she likes the farm life๐Ÿ’•
Frying up fleishkeukle.
Fleishkeukle & sauerkraut were part of supper on Saturday.
Chili for Sunday supper, with cooler evenings, Andrew’s chili tasted good.
Making chocolate zuchinni cake.
A family walk on Friday.
On Thursday my WRM book club exchanged garden produce after our meeting, this neat looking squash has a chestnut flavor.
