Strawberry & 4-H🍀

May 19, 2021 / Monica Jacobson / 1 Comment

We had another set of twins, the cow only accepted the bull calf and abandoned the heifer, the children named this one Strawberry, she joined Silver in the bottle calf pen. The boys had 4-H demonstrations awhile back…they made the newspaper.

Hauling water continues until the Good Lord sends a mighty amount of rain to fill the stock dams.

My new low carb diet…why is it so easy to eat poorly and so hard to eat healthy? Yes, those would be turnips & tomatoes with cottage cheese.

These tulips bring cheer to the front yard…so nice to have them greet us.

He received this today. He really enjoys school and we feel blessed that he does.

Blooms, Chicks , & Baby Calves

The tulips are blooming! With determination and consistent watering we might get some things to grow!

We dropped in on Planting Days in Taylor, ND, was neat to see all of the horse teams.

Grandma Jen appeared to enjoy pedaling with the children.

Grandpa was there with a few teams and eager learners.

He renamed his butterfly flower garden, “the Blessed Virgin Mary Garden.” Hopefully some pretty flowers grow for him. Here he’s proudly holding a garden statue. I told him that the Blessed Virgin is one woman I will support him 100% on doting upon and giving many pretty flowers 😊.

Planting

Andrew was able to find us a new no till disk that fits our tractor size! With quite a bit of coordination it was trucked from Georgia, unloaded in Glen Ullin and Andrew drove to town with the tractor and brought it home. Grandpa Bob and he worked most the afternoon assembling it, and now he’s planting!!!🌽🌽🌽

I love following the work of people who do the job well! It took quite a bit of time to get everything working perfect. I am not a perfectionist, I’m slowly learning that it’s worth it to do it correctly rather than just rushing through and having things break down later.

Grandma Jen takes some amazing pictures, I’m happy she’s always willing to share with me! Here’s “Silver” one of the twin calves, she’s growing fast!

Spring Concert & Baby Chicks

May 13, 2021 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

We are enjoying having Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson here. We all enjoyed the Spring Concert. School end activities are a flurry, but usually fun. Simon’s teacher worked with Simon since her daughter is also a teacher and wanted to hatch out chicks in her classroom. The number of chicks that hatched was quite low, but the teacher reported…”The Pre K, Kindergarten & 1st grade came to see them. So precious!”

Butchering Day

We’re running low on beef in our freezer. We have a “connoisseur” come and begin the process (a very educational process), it is such a humane way to butcher. He’s a sure shot, the steer is happily eating and within seconds it’s over… in the past when we loaded them and took them to the butcher shop, the animal had some stress and I think it was able to be tasted on the meat. The rest of the processing happens in Bismarck. Beef it’s what’s for dinner! 🍽️
