Happy 4th of July!🇺🇸

An interesting picture sent from my older brother.  Happy birthday U.S.A.!🎇

Checking on the herds in their new pastures, this group is so happy and content.
This herd is also happy and content. Praise Him!
Time to cool off.
No fireworks this year, water balloon fight will have to do.

Hot 🔥

We moved out pairs today,  did we pick a cooker!  God sent Maria and Uncle Peter to make this day survivable for us!  When we were finished at 5:30 p.m. I looked at my phone and it said 102°

A new corner and gate.
We began the day at 6:30 am to beat the heat!
Cousins 💝
A good day for the pool. Thank you Maria for the excellent care of the children today.

Coyote Hunters

Enough is Enough.  We had our third loss from predators on Friday, 3 calves eaten since June 6th.  Local ranchers suggested I call Game & Fish.  I met with a nice fellow on Saturday morning.  This morning they are out with an airplane, I’ve heard 12 shots.  I hope they are able to get the predators killing our calves.  The only losses (besides one premature twin) we’ve had this year was to predators.

The sharp shooters just reported, “We shot 3 down by marsh 1 east of your house 1 north east.” Hopefully that will stop the calves from being eaten.

Swimming Lessons

The little towns out here have only outdoor options… it’s supposed to be in the 90s this week…so outdoors should be fine.

The first strawberry 🍓 from our garden for the year!
While a few of us were at swimming lessons, big brother hit a grand slam!⚾

Rainy Sunday 🌧️

After Mass, there was a goodbye meal for Father Zwack, then a heavy short rain happened.

Husband playing piano on a rainy Sunday 💙
Marie sent them a craft to work on, a rainy day was a good day for it!
Daddy & daughter 💞
A few of the dianthus made it! They were transplanted from Grandma Jen’s flower garden, so happy some made it!
On Saturday, Grandpa and Dad worked on setting a corner so that we can move out pairs.
Headed to the Line Camp, we hadn’t been there this summer, yet. Such tasty treats and excellent sandwiches!
Sweet brother.💙

Cherries 🍒

Life is just a bowl of cherries 🎶…it rained about .65 today.  The fruit truck came to town and we picked up some cherries.

Delivering mineral and salt to the heifers earlier this week.
All 3 needed to open the gate 🙂
A very pleasant game against Center.
Looks like Andrew’s on the school board again.

Grazing

We decided to graze out the fields close to us. They were not producing like they needed to, after the herd has grazed it off we plan to replant something with a short growing season.

Andrew gets some nice views from his office…he also gets to see the boys doing their chores.
Took in one more big trip before our Bundle of Joy arrives. Was nice to see the cousins.
Fun to take the boys to the big city to a barber shop, it’s nice to see them in something other than my homemade haircuts.
Maria made a very tasty rhubarb pie! Thank you for putting us up.
Craft time while Daddy worked … Wonderful to have friends that don’t mind us stopping by💖

Working Calves

A very nice crew of Tracy, Ed, Glen, Nadine, Jim, Priscilla, Denyka, Kennedi, and Malachi came to help us work calves today.

Helping take lunch to the crew.
It’s amazing to see Tracy’s transformation, just a couple of years ago she did not know how to rope. She trained her nice mare and her roping skills have greatly improved!
We learned a greater appreciation of well-trained, calm horses today. Jim is one of the best ropers in North Dakota. His wife, Nadine, is a great help!
Andrew has become an expert brander.
Last calf. All’s Well that Ends Well!
