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

My mother, even in her current state, was bragging to Andrew about her yellow prairie rose bush.  My Dad hopes we take some to transplant in our yard.  They sure handle drought well.

82° today, we cleaned 3 rows before lunch.

Inspite of a jailbreak of the heifers last night, we still had time to take the children to the zoo.   Since all work and no play makes people dull we want to make sure we give the kids some outside the farm experience. Through St. Isidore and St. Francis’ help the heifers were located after church and all except one are back in their pasture.  The one left is in our neighbor’s pasture and we’ll have to get her later.

All in a days work.  Another very full, but good Saturday!

Grandpa’s goslings have arrived!

We went to check on the heifers on Sunday and found out that the well is not working… We did two quick emergency runs of water to them and moved a tank over from a different pasture.

Thank you for the pictures Catherine.  Each time we get to be in this little country church, we feel blessed.  There’s been a Corpus Christi procession since I was a young girl, the prayers are so powerful and we as a community feel blessed to be able to gather together and participate in this tradition.

There are few things that make me want to become an Annie Oakley and work on my marksmanship skills more than going out and finding that the coyotes have gotten a calf. Heartbreaking. Nature can be so cruel. 

Simon’s registered Shetland pony, Jet, had a male foal this morning!  The children were so excited they had to run out in their pajamas to see!
