Everything was approved and the tank is being filled with water!

Today is our official due date start for the cow herd. Andrew went out to find six newborns.  Grandpa and I will be busy tagging!

GU is very lucky that Andrew is willing to share his many talents.  Today, he was dubbed The Piano Man by the music department.  Wonder if he’ll ever share with them that he’s actually more proficient at the trumpet?

🌹 Happy Mother’s Day! 🌹

A beautiful sight!

Our oldest says there was 1/2 in.  in the rain gauge!

A year ago we discussed adding a well to improve grazing and we had a wake up call this winter when we thought the one well we have by the cattle during calving was having issues.  Both of our home pasture stockdams are dry.  Well the fellows finished up installation yesterday, and we’re just waiting for the final steps to be able to turn it on for the cattle.  A year in the planning, months of coordinating, weeks of work, it will be nice when it’s up and running.

Andrew and I were able to attend a fun little teacher appreciation gathering last night.  Community, support, and gratefulness…what beautiful things!  

Tart and sweet sounded good today.

Twin calves are both a blessing and a bother.  We are at 125% for our calf crop thus far… would be lovely to finish at that percentage…we have just begun though.  It takes a pretty good cow to accept and take care of both calves.

Happy Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.  Gotta love that man!  He helped raise God’s son, he was humble, and yet is known as the “terror of demons.”  St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!
