Well Read Mom

August 27, 2020 / / 0 Comments

We kicked off, “The Year of the Sister” tonight.  

A bouquet from one of the mothers.
Each member that attended mentioned at least twice how appreciative they were that I was willing to host, it makes me think that sometimes we humans do things not realizing how important it is to others. May everyone reading this find fellowship, friends, and genuine sojourners on this journey of life to accompany them in growing closer to Christ to ultimately in the end attain Heaven!
I also need to thank my Dad and Andrew for providing childcare to make these evenings possible. It truly does take a village and a community to thrive!

Fastest Fence Fixer

August 26, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Fastest Fence Fixer in the West!

He just pounded in 4 fence posts and stapled the wires down in less than 10 minutes. I think he left smoke on the barbed wire. We had two herds decide to mix on Monday evening…so there was fence to fix. Grandpa was able to fix some yesterday and the children and I checked the rest of the fence yesterday evening.

8 months old today!
She let go and tried to take a step. I bet she stood up a hundred times today. I guess that’s how those little ones build muscles and balance for walking.

Selling Steers & Autumn Colors

August 25, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Here are some of the autumn colors in the garden & we sent our British White steers to the sale barn this evening.

 

One of Ambrose’s sunflowers bloomed.
Eggplants
Cantaloupe
Hoping to get a good price since we kept these fellas an extra 4 months to try to get the best price. They ate alot of feed so we are taking a risk there, but hopefully the markets are decent enough for a good price.

Hay Hauling

August 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Mary, Grandpa, and I, left the farmyard at 5:15 a.m. for an early start on hay hauling before the heat sets in… It’s been mostly in the 90s the past 7 days.

Once the sun was up, the fog looked really neat as it descended on the valley.
We helped with early morning chores since we were up and at ’em already.
On Sunday, he asked Andrew to help him make a surprise, chocolate chip cookies!!!!😋
Yesterday, Tracy came to drive Lilly with Lark. Her horse, Ashley is injured, so she asked to use Lark for some hayrides she’s giving.
Simon’s teacher was my teacher! She’s a very caring teacher that takes her job seriously. I meant to post this earlier, I thought it was neat that she took the time to send him a postcard before the school year began.

Queenship of Mary

We enjoyed having Mass at St. Clement’s today!  Life has been full of adventures.  One of these adventures is named Ginger.

On our way to a beautiful morning Mass.
We really appreciate it when there’s a Mass we can walk to 😁
Helping ring the bell.
Our 4 year old brought his own missal without prompting. He’s very organized.
A wonderful, young, priest celebrated Mass.
She’s discovered stair climbing.
Four healthy, lovely, children sleeping soundly, a happy, full days work completed, candlelight, and the end of the sunset. Heaven must be wonderful if it is better than this evening.
Meet Ginger. The men in our family just needed this farm to have a dog. Ginger needed a farm. Simon said, she’s nice, but she’s not Skipper. I said no, she’s not, and she will never be. Skipper had strengths, he was the fastest farm dog I’ve ever seen. He had energy and a work ethic that didn’t quit! Ginger is calmer, a lot slower, but over time, I told him, he’d find strengths in her he liked too.
Ginger is very sweet. Her temperament puts me in mind of Nana on the Walt Disney movie, Peter Pan.

2nd Grade

August 19, 2020 / / 1 Comment

This young boy is ready for second grade.  We all joined him for breakfast.  We all reminisced on this past summer. It was a full one.  Life is so precious.  Children grow up too fast.  Tragedies happen, keep the good memories, and one must persevere and carry on.

First day of second grade.
He has a new route and new bus driver this year. The two year old was quite upset that he could not go with Simon. Our preschooler’s first day is tomorrow.
Her sweetness and smiles help keep our spirits up.

Tragedy

August 18, 2020 / / 5 Comments

We lost Skipper today in an accident.  Poor Simon just sobbed.  My heart just hurts for him…I thought Skipper would be seeing him off to college like my Bonnie sent me off. Andrew, just this morning, told me how he finally felt like he and Skipper were able to communicate well and he was telling me about how Skipper was showing good cow sense during morning chores.  If you have a little room in your prayers please say some prayers for little Simon and our family.  Today we lost our companion, guard, and friend.  

Laying Skipper to rest.

Red Gingham Tablecloth

Ever since we moved in, Andrew has wanted a red checkered tablecloth.  I finally found one at a price that I liked.  I really like how it looks, that man has taste!
