Christmas Program

Happy to have Grandma & Grandpa Jacobson here for the next couple of days!

A very nice program at Church yesterday!
Grandma snapped this picture on the way here…a neat view!

Feast of St. Lucy

December 13, 2019 / / 0 Comments

“Lucy’s feast is on 13 December, in Advent. Her feast once coincided with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, before calendar reforms, so her feast day has become a festival of light.[7]

This is particularly seen in Scandinavian countries, with their long dark winters. There, a young girl dressed in a white dress and a red sash (as the symbol of martyrdom) carries palms and wears a crown or wreath of candles on her head. In Denmark, Norway and Sweden, girls dressed as Lucy carry rolls and cookies in procession as songs are sung. It is said that to vividly celebrate St. Lucy’s Day will help one live the long winter days with enough light.”  Source:  Wikipedia

So we thought tonight would be a good night to turn on the outside lights.

4-H Cookie Decorating Party.
I just had to share this picture from 7 years ago! Grandpa Bob and Grandma Jen had brought us one of their trees and we were decorating.
I have to post these once in a while…I just learned yesterday that my little brother has made 54 dozen of different varieties of Christmas cookies…I am not even close to that.

2nd Week of Advent

December 8, 2019 / / 0 Comments

We put up the tree and hope to add more “Christmas” to our home each week of Advent.  The tree puts an aroma in our home that is wonderful!  Once we have it all decorated, we plan to keep it up until the Baptism of Our Lord, January 12, 2020.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum 🎶
I had them in the window…then Andrew mentioned they may fade.
Andrew made a spot for them out of the sunshine. I could look at the detail on these for hours!
The calves are out enjoying the oats regrowth.
We were asked to make a dozen undecorated sugar cookies for a 4-H Cookie Decorating Party, so while we were at it we decided to decorate the others.
Cute Story time Library projects.

There’s deer in our yard! White, lit up ones!
It’s always cozy to me when it’s the time of year to pull out my snowman mug and sip a warm cup of tea or hot chocolate.

Happy Feast of St. Nicholas!

We’ll see if we get treats in our slippers tonight!

🎅 Jolly Old St. Nicholas!🎶
GU school is currently blessed with incredible leadership & caring Staff. I thought I’d do my part and let them know that they’re doing a nice job with a St. Nicholas Day treat ❄️🎄🎅
Sweets!
We went over and helped Grandma set up her tree.🎄
A Prairie Fire Pottery syrup pitcher was found in Andrew’s slipper.
48 year Anniversary!

Joyful Advent!

May you all be blessed with a Joyful Advent as you prepare and hopefully joyfully anticipate the birth of the Christ Child!🕯️

Creative Andrew made Advent Candles for our front yard. Driving home, I could see it clearly from the road!
Our Advent calendar. The boys eagerly await opening a new box each day.
A blessed & deeply prayerful Advent to each of you!

The Last Bale!

November 30, 2019 / / 0 Comments

We hauled the last bale to a hayfence in 2019 today.  A successful feeling indeed!  Andrew & the Boys held down the fort while Grandpa, Grandma & I finished hauling hay for the year.  A personal best of 131 bales hauled today!

Grandpa heading to get the last bale to be hauled to a hayfence this year. I’m pretty proud of our Good Little Minnesota Tractor, our pickup and Grandpa & Grandma’s hay trailer!
Heading to the field this morning.
It was a wintery day…but we got the job done… Praise the Good Lord!
Andrew helped me measure out and pin curtains after we ate supper.
The finished product! This was a fun way to wrap up November with my Better Half. He found an old curtain and challenged me to this project… I said if he’d do the measuring, I’d do the sewing… Thanks Marie for teaching me the basics of sewing!

Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

In Gratitude
Thank you, Father, for having created us and given us to each other in the human family. Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for your comfort in our sadness, your companionship in our loneliness. Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank you for friends, for health and for grace. May we live this and every day conscious of all that has been given to us.
From The Catholic Prayer Book, compiled by Msgr. Michael Buckley
So blessed to have this crew together. Luke & Raphael & Nicole’s Family were unable to make it and others had to leave early to beat the blizzard but we are feeling blessed for the time we had!

Homeward Bound

We had a chilly cattle drive this morning.  I’m happy we were able to get it completed before rain, sleet & snow hit!  Now back to getting those bales hauled!

Coming up to the gate.
More coming up.
Here they come!
In cattle paradise! Their winter pasture.
They finished up, cleaned up, and left today!
Not sure what Grandpa’s plans are for this place, but it sure puts a facelift on the farm.

Hay Hauling & Chores

November 25, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Just a couple hundred more bales to go & I love seeing the Brothers being responsible boys doing the night chores!

Getting through the hay hauling… hopefully we will beat the winter weather that we may get at the end of this week.
Heading out to chores.
