This November has provided some beautiful sunsets. 

Happy Feast of Christ the King everyone!  Andrew and I have been doctoring and playing pharmacist to our three youngest children these last 10 days or so.  Thank God they’re on the upswing.  I’ve always struggled in life and especially once I became a mother, with the fact that little ones have to suffer.  They’ve done nothing wrong, they haven’t sinned.  Why does the rain fall on the just and unjust?  Definitely a question I’m going to ask the Creator when I’ve departed from this life.  I’ve had some fun preparing one of the rooms as a “girls” room.

The cow was apparently chewing/sucking on the antler… apparently cattle will do that.  She got it wrapped around her jaw and one of the prongs was in her mouth.  With the help of two expert riders she was able to be rounded up and trailered and the antler was removed.

A neighbor sent us a picture of one of our cows.

Our morning started with such promise.  No wind, sunny, and crisp.  Then @ 7:30, we got a call, cows are out.  Andrew, the three little ones, and I got them back in.  Grandpa hauled two quick loads of water from town but all day the herd was uneasy.  Then after Andrew and Ambrose took off to check them, it was decided that after they discovered 5 cows who brought themselves to winter pasture, it was time to move them….the move started after dark and 5 amazing people showed up to help with 15 minutes heads up…we were a friend in need today and we know our good neighbors better, we are blessed to have them.

A full moon to move cattle by.

A full day that ended well.

We had a hydrant have problems…Opp Well & Drilling came and made short work of fixing the problem.  

My sweets gave me this book for my birthday. I thought I would share part of the introduction… May anyone reading this have a truly blessed Advent… Christ the King Sunday is next Sunday the end of the liturgical year.

Andrew canned the sauerkraut from the cabbage from our garden, now he’s out fencing the next pasture that we are moving to.

We received a dusting of snow 🌨️. Andrew has been asked to help with piano 🎹

Today marks the first day of me turning 109! 🥳
