I am happy to see the sun shining, even if I have to spend more time at the computer these days. I find the dreary days very long and with longer days I feel like I am missing being outside but there isn’t a lot of things you can do […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
I am waiting on my last two cows to calve, and I would be lying if I told you that I am not looking forward to a full night of sleep. It has all caught up to me and I am in need of some quality shuteye. Today was a […]
It is the day after International Women’s Day, and I am still celebrating all the amazing, strong women that I am surrounded with. Personally, I would owe my strength and determination (and maybe some of my stubbornness) all to Nanny. I have learned kindness and to never give up from […]
Time is certainly marching on! It doesn’t seem like Christmas was that long ago. We made it through another cold day or two and it looks like we are going to be trending warmer. There doesn’t seem to be a happy medium. It hasn’t been too bad for calving at […]
The first night I was away last week I couldn’t sleep, not just because I was leaving the farm at a busy time but the Toronto traffic kept me up. I decided to look in on the barn cameras and Debbie had a calf on my first night away. Of […]
As I sit down to pen this Moos update, it is raining outside. Yuck. I think we all know how I feel about rain in the warmer months, and I don’t enjoy it any more in February. I spent most of the day on Saturday getting extra panels set up […]
I survived my week away and so did my mom and the farm! I flew out from International Falls last Monday and, despite the flight being delayed due to a mechanical issue causing me to miss my connecting flight from Minneapolis to Nashville, it was a really great week. I […]
I was leaving the house last Saturday at noon to pick up the rest of my Christmas lights when I heard a cow bawl. That made me very suspicious, because generally, right now, they have no reason to make much sound. I headed straight out and I was greeted with a […]
Thankfully it is looking like we might be moving out of the deep freeze. I am hoping I can stop worrying about all the things that could potentially go wrong. Then again, it is doubtful because that seems to be something I am good at. I really don’t have anything to complain […]
It seems as though winter had found us and is planning to stick around for a bit. I was planning to leave Lexi at home this morning but she insisted on going for our morning walk but she was very anxious to get in the house when we got back. […]
I can’t believe we are nearly at mid-January! I always remember Nanny telling me “January is a long, cold month.” We haven’t had it to bad for weather but it does look like the more normal January temperatures are returning this week. I am not completely over Christmas. I did […]
Happy New Year friends! I wonder how long it will take me to remember to write 2026? I am still in Christmas mode mostly here but everyday I try and removed some type of decoration that is more related to Christmas and turn things into more of a winter theme. […]
