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, […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
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 […]
I spent a good part of my week working on my Research Report. I would say I am three-quarters finished and if I wasn’t so easily distracted, I would likely be finished. Something pops into my mind, and I am off onto something else. I must get back to my […]
Well, the weather has continued to be favourable and with some freezing at night it has made things a little firmer around the barn yard. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings to have some frost before the snow at this point. I was admiring the beautiful sunshiny day and was thinking; […]
I always have big plans to get my Christmas decorations up early so that I could admire them a bit longer, but my month is jammed packed with meetings and events. I didn’t plan on November looking like this. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself, but I am the only […]
Well, we finished our last cattle sale for 2023! I have mixed feelings; part of me is sad that it is over and part of me happy that it is over. The truth is most of us that work that really love it and enjoy every bit of it! We […]
It certainly seems winter had moved in to stay. That was a fast transition. I was complaining about the mud but with these temperatures the mud might not be here for long either. It certainly made us move quickly to get heat on in the water bowls and animals drinking […]
