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 […]
I updated my weather information, and it looks like we have had our hottest May since 2007. We have only seen this amount of heat in May four times since 2000. This is based off my Corn Heat Unit data. The rain amount was slightly below normal, but it all […]
