I am hoping that this miserable weather we have had these last couple of days in our “March coming in like a lion” and it is smooth sailing from here on out. If we never see that kind of wind again it won’t hurt my feeling any. We ended up […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
We had a couple hours of winter this morning as the snow was blowing around. I spread fresh straw yesterday which takes a fair bit of time and sweat and so of course the snow had to come in and make a mess of that. The wind helps the calves find […]
We couldn’t ask for better weather for Family Day! A great day to get outside. I expected to be on my way to Toronto for the Beef Farmers of Ontario AGM. My boyfriend / partner ended up not feeling good and ended up in the hospital. They are planning on […]
There are a couple of significant dates worth mentioning. Did you realize that last week the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) has calculated that by February 9th, 2024, a Canadian household of average income will have earned enough to pay for their entire year’s grocery bill, which lands on the […]
I am sitting at my desk thinking of what I should share with you this week as I look at my yard camera and it looks like April. Grass appearing through the snow, mud in the driveway and fog. This is crazy and let’s face it, colder weather is just […]
I was feeling like I was doing so well getting things accomplished but it seems like it went south on me! I have high hopes for a good work week coming up. I agreed to help review some grant applications for an agency thinking that it wouldn’t be too much, […]
Now that it has warmed up, we are getting a bit of snow, but I guess that is usually how it works. Though the thermometer appeared more pleasant on Sunday, the wind ruined the day. I toughed it out and convinced my cows to follow me home and I sorted […]
Winter has found us! The crisp air feels good, but the wind isn’t so enjoyable. I was nervous about checking water bowls this morning as I heard the house cracking all night from the cold. I was relieved to find water and not ice. It is more difficult to keep […]
OK, so today starts the official day that the holidays are over. No more putting things off and eating snacks and treats. I never get excited to de-Christmas here, but I’m feeling more ready this year since I have big plans to do a major de-clutter. I am still hosting […]
Here we are, the week before Christmas. The common question, “are you ready for the big day?” I am not ready and there is a good chance I won’t be. I am rushing around this morning trying to do last minute things on the farm before I pack up and […]
I was off to Dryden on Saturday to spend the night celebrating Linda Zimmerman’s surprise 40th birthday! Of course, after a lot of good weather it changed on us, and some had troubles getting to Dryden. For those who made it, a great time was had! We celebrated in the […]
Well, I am close to finishing my outside light display! I have something in mind that I would like to make for the barn, but it might be an all-winter project. I didn’t work on it full time this weekend as I wanted to check out Emo Holly Days and […]
