Hope everyone’s Lent is going well. Today is windy!🌬️. But it appears Spring has Sprung weather wise in Haymarsh Valley with mild temperatures… will be interesting to see if March has come in like a lamb or lion?
Sunday Sunrise.We worked our two yearling bulls yesterday, one was a bit nervous and testy so we’ll see if he sticks around or we choose to ship him. We prefer calm, quiet cattle.
Saw this cool list at Stations of the Cross on Friday…it’s a list for 8th graders, but I thought they’re also great ideas for Lent.
Our Parish set out new prayers in the pews for Lent.Sister & BrotherI rounded the corner to see the big brothers talking to little sister this past Thursday.He earned first place in a coloring contest and was awarded a certificate and prize money. Will art play a part in his future career?
📝I hope to blog a little each Sunday during Lent, have a wonderful second week of Lent!🛐
On our way to gather eggs, our 4 year old spotted a snow pile…
The ditches are full of water from melting.A little snow isn’t going to stop him from biking!A layer of fresh snow greeted us on our noon chores walk.Fat Tuesday blueberry pie, I hope everyone has a blessed Lent!✝️. I asked my children what I should give up for Lent and it was discussed for me to have less time on my phone. So, I will be doing a technology fast from my phone, except for necessary reasons, as part of my Lenten Observance. Hoping All have a good and Holy Lent.
We were reminded that homeownership isn’t what it’s always cracked up to be. Our sump pump decided to act up…it gave us a warning before any damage was done. Thank goodness Andrew is very capable and was able to fix it.
Dealing with plumbing, does anybody ever really want to deal with that?!We were blessed to have three visitors show up at noon today!Godmother and Godson!Our big city friends made a visit.One thing possibly unique to the country is it’s typically okay if when you’re in the area to stop in and visit!8 weeks old!Andrew became a Godfather to a Jacobson this past weekend! Life is so precious, and new life is so amazing. It’s always encouraging to me when parents baptize their babies! Throwback to January 11th…will be fun to see these two cousins grow.
This lady is incredible! Not only was she teacher of the year in ND before she retired, but I get to also call her friend! Mary got to meet her yesterday!
We shipped a batch of calves this morning. Here’s hoping the weather holds, the price is good & the buyers are generous.
The calves follow the tractor that feeds them. Andrew is on the four wheeler.We (Ambrose, Ignatius, Mary, & I) encouraged the calves to walk straight to the corral.Always a reflective day for me. The creator, cows, and bulls create the calves, the ranchers provide feed, supplements, and water for them & it culminates today when we ship them off to the sale barn. The cycle of life. Another crop of calves off to the sale barn to feed multiple dozens of people. A year of Blessings we are grateful for.Sorting out the calves to sell.
Andrew & Dad loading the calves. We are generally impressed with our current bulls, not one calf got riled, not one calf kicked. I know a lot has to do with cattle handling abilities, but a lot has to do with genetics of the cattle too.There they go. Godspeed.
Simon’s first grade teacher has her degree in art as well as elementary education. I think she does such a wonderful job with these kids!
