Listening

Listening to big brother read.

Always fascinating to hear young readers.

A friend sent me water beads for St. Monica’s Feast Day.

Brisk!

We drove over to the neighbors to get a Haymarsh cookbook for a sweet lady who is turning 40 and since it’s 58° and very blustery out we had to wear our winter caps and Autumn jackets! The Creator’s reminder that we live in the north land and winter is coming!

Ignatius is ready to face the blustery day!

Pumpkins

When October arrives, by the looks of it, the boys should have homegrown pumpkins for Jack o’ Lanterns!

Proud of his work on the mother animal matching baby animal project.

Happy Sunday!

A 3rd Mass in 4 days at St. Clements. Makes my heart sing to hear the church bells ring over Haymarsh Valley so frequently!

Helping Dad with his hobby. Making pickles!

We went on a Sunday excursion and found tasty Chinese food in Zap, ND. We were reminiscing that we probably haven’t been to Zap since 2007!

Thank you Father Anthony!

St Clement’s had another Mass this week! My aunt’s son, Father Anthony Saiki, celebrated Mass tonight!

Mostly local Gietzen relatives attended…some local parishioners were able to attend Mass too!

Happy to have the porch for extra space! 27 folks ate supper at our house.

‘Tis the Season

When God’s good Earth puts forth the harvest!

3 gallons of green beans, if anyone needs green beans feel free to come and pick some… I think there’s at least twice that amount out there still.

Green beans from the garden, eggplant from the garden, Salmon (not from the garden).

Our 1st grader brought this home today. His coloring makes me smile.

Friends

“The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.”
– Elisabeth Foley

We enjoyed seeing this Fargo Friend & her growing family! Thanks for allowing us to show you Haymarsh, Rachel! Photo courtesy of Simon.

On the farming side of life… Grandpa made a timely purchase of a baler. The bearing went out on our old one… Andrew hooked up Grandpa’s newer (1999 Gehl) baler. It’s good to have a backup when one is trying to make hay while the sun shines!

Rodeo Time!

A fun family day, enjoyed by all! It was good to see Simon’s hard work training his pony pay off at the rodeo today. We really enjoyed the Grant County Rodeo in Carson, ND.
