In case you need a good reason to tear up today…

Hope your day is full of kindness & gratefulness.🤍

Salsa

What does a married couple do at 9:30 pm on a Monday night? Make salsa, of course.

Specialized onion glasses: highly recommended if you don’t like tears from chopping onions.

Plans Change

October 12, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

We had it planned on the calendar to wean one of the herds today. Due to the snow and unfrozen mud…plans changed.

Homeward bound…what a good, big brother!

Peter Piper sliced a peck of pickled peppers and his three sons watched.🌶️🥵🔥

Optimistic

I am choosing to be optimistic. I put on the Fall Leaves tablecloth and the sun is out, even though it’s mighty windy out. I feel for the livestock, especially for those in areas getting the worst of this storm.

The 🌞 is out & the snow is beginning to melt.

Snow much Fun!

We’re making lemonade of lemons.

Picking onions and carrots for today’s lunch… chicken noodle soup. This snow just seems unseasonable.

Building a snowman with Skipper after school.⛄

Winter Wonderland

We woke up to a world of white this morning.

Heading out to morning chores before the sun is up.

Bundled & ready to face the day… little brother will stay in a while with me.

Contrary to most adults, he’s excited for the snow.

Colorful

It seems like in just the last week some of the trees have really changed color.

Haymarsh Roots

My Dad’s aunt’s daughter, her husband, and mother-in-law, swung in for a visit. It’s always interesting to meet Gietzen relatives.

Linda, Catherine, Beth Ann, myself, and Grandma Mary. Beth Ann is a teacher, her mother was a teacher, Grandma Mary was a teacher, I am sensing a recurring theme here 🧐

On the house side of things…a line was trenched today. Everyone is scurrying to get outside work done before 🌨️

Peppers, tomatoes, & chicken pot pie!

October 8, 2019 / Monica Jacobson / 0 Comments

With accumulating snow in the forecast for this week, we gathered all of the tomatoes and peppers from the garden tonight.

Our unripened tomatoes; next spring we’re planning on starting the tomatoes a month earlier. If anybody reading this has friends or they themselves believe that God is dead or doesn’t exist they should come and see what a neglected little garden can produce! Production like that can only come from a good Creator.

He and I are going to miss the garden….he’s my little garden Buddy.

Grandma Anh loves peppers, so we shared our pepper crop with her.

Andrew never ceases to amaze me…he took a rooster that Grandpa Russell & Simon butchered and made a tasty chicken pot pie! His pie crust must be as yummy as any award winning crust!

Fun storytime project (caterpillars, butterflies, & birds) and I love seeing Ignatius’ personality blossom. What a process… pregnancy, newborn, infant, toddler, & now shining personality…life is beautiful! Ambrose is now one of the serious big kids…he works hard to do well on the projects.

Pleasant Sunday & Harvest Prayers

What a pleasant quiet Sunday… Andrew & the Boys even got time to tinker in the garage after Mass. Simon is quite proud that he and daddy built him a workbench.
