Last week was a write-off. Though the rain didn’t add up until the end of the week, we were unable to combine. We tried and we were unsuccessful. A few of us decided to pack up some cattle and take off to the Dryden Fair on Thursday. We started off […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
What a weekend we had for the Emo Fair! Amazing! Many people were complaining about the heat but all I can say is “it is much better that rain!” Rain cancels events and it is just not good for any part of the Fair. I feel like it was such […]
So here we are, fair week! And other than my cattle, that is the only work that I have accomplished. It seems it has been a whirlwind of other things to keep me from doing tasks. I am trying to take time off work this week, but of course that […]
I have mentioned this before but three days at home in a row is heavenly. I mean I spent a good amount of my time working with fair cattle but in between that I got many little tasks done. If there wasn’t so much to do at work all the […]
I saw someone post this morning; “It went from July 1st to July 26th in like five minutes!” and I must agree. We went from thinking we have plenty of time to prepare for our open house to we only have two days to make things pretty. I am looking […]
Well last week was not a successful week for making hay! At least not at our place. Frustrating weather as we really didn’t have a lot of rain but enough to make it difficult. We have started cutting again so we are all looking forward to having it wrapped up. […]
I think we are wearing warmer clothes now that we ever did in May or June! We need Mother Nature to turn up the heat a bit and move the rain showers out. I understand there are a few areas that are still looking for some rain, but it is […]
Good news on the farm! We had a second duckling hatch! This one came on July 4 — so we now have Canada and Indee. They are still living in the house and Lexi is learning to be gentle. She sleeps by the spare room door where they are living […]
The University set Friday June 30 as our July 1st holiday, so we are working today, and I think most of Emo is closed. So, it might be a quiet day for us without any visitors. After three days off there is always a big list of things to catch […]
I am hoping that everyone received some of that “million dollar” rain we received over the weekend. It sounds like it varied in amounts once again. I received about 15 mm but my friend in Pinewood received 40 mm. I was pleasantly surprised that it came down slow and steady […]
Sounds like we are back in the heat wave again. I enjoy it but this heat usually brings on a thunderstorm and though we need the rain it would be better if it didn’t come with all that force. It is dry enough that lightning could potentially cause us some […]
Friday before leaving work we had quite a storm blow in! We ended up getting 22 mm of rain in about 20 minutes! It was crazy. I quickly looked at my camera to see if it was doing anything at home and all I noticed was the wind. My concern […]
