Cattle Drive

September 23, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

We had our longest cattle drive today. We had amazing help, there were some tough spots with other herds and crossing the highway but with the great workers, all ended well! Thank you St. Isidore!

The cattle are in one of their Fall pastures. This is the “feeding crew.” I had 7 helpers to help prepare the lunch.

Always a successful feeling to have a happy trail drive!

I was at a Bridal Shower, so Andrew manned the apple sauce making!

Afternoon Apple Picking

September 20, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

With rain in the forecast for the next two days we went to pick apples after school today so we can process them on the rainy days.

Ignatius, Ambrose, & I planted tulips and daffodils earlier this morning, hope they come up next spring! This is a picture of them being measured out before they were planted.

Eggplants & Tomatoes

Time to sauce tomatoes! If anyone needs eggplant, please stop by!

The DRE (director of religious education) asked Fr. Zwack to do a practice Mass for the students…basically he walked the students through the Mass and explained everything from the priest vestments to the prayers he says, very informational! I hope the students learned a lot.

Please watch over the hunters & keep them safe.

Awaiting Mass at St. Clements… Exaltation of the Cross.

Grandpa with his “bouquet” of grandchildren!

Medora brought excellent donuts & Gabriel brought excellent fruit.

One of the hens decided to set and had five chicks! Ambrose calls them puffballs 😁

God… showing us that He’s an Artist. A gorgeous ending to a beautiful day!

Opposite of Drought

I am not a professional meteorologist, but I’m pretty sure we are not experiencing drought.

I figured a lit candle would shed a little light on this gray day.

Chili with tomatoes and peppers from the garden… The rain does provide me ample time to make suppers.

Apples 🍎

I love apple trees. Ours did not bear fruit this year (not a huge surprise since they were planted in May.) Grandma Anh’s apple tree has many apples and she shared with us. Her apple tree’s apples are sweet and soft however, and Andrew prefers the tart, hard apples to make applesauce… I should ask around and see if there are any close for the picking.
