The cows are getting closer now to calving so I’ve had to increase my trips to the barn. On Monday, I planned to get another larger area ready so I can put multiple cows in if I don’t have enough room right in the barn. Meanwhile, the three calves that […]

Although I’m thankful that the minus-50 temperatures have left us (for now), I’m not overly happy about the snow and wind. Now that I’m making multiple trips out to the barn, trudging through the snow isn’t that fun. My dad will come over with his trusty snowplow and fix that […]
Last Friday was my mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary! I’d say a big accomplishment. For Christmas and their anniversary, we bought them a trip to Nashville as it was something we thought they both would enjoy. While there they attended a game between the Winnipeg Jets and Nashville Predators. […]
The big news of the weekend is the fact that Richard Norman “caught” the ace of spade on Friday night to win a total of $21,711.20. Though we felt a bit disappointed that Round # 5 of the weekly draw was over, we had a goal that we wanted to […]
And here we go . . . back to normal! The first full week of work for 2019. It was a snowy start to the week but it sounds like Thunder Bay was hit harder. No complaints on my end although the snow we did get was heavy so be […]
Monday marked the last day for me to feed cows in 2018–just six months until green grass! The cows are enjoying their last month of freedom as calves will begin arriving around the middle of February. My boyfriend/partner has been packing the yard a bit since the horrible wet fall […]
I finally got through my entire house and cleaned up a pile of dust–all the while realizing I really need to unload some stuff! I have stuff packed away all over the place and this means I am not using it! So I think it is time for a garage […]
By Monday of next week, everyone will be settling in to celebrate the Christmas season. I just hope I’m ready and still not looking for that special gift. I really enjoy gift-giving–provided I have that perfect idea for that person on my list. Meanwhile, my family is frustrated with me […]
I attended my first Christmas party of the season last week! It was a great night but certainly made me think that the time is ticking away. I also attended a Christmas concert in the Barwick Heritage Church and it was incredibly beautiful. As soon as you walked in, you […]
I may come off as rough and tough and hard to bluff but the truth is I worry about a lot. As soon as I start feeding hay, I worry I won’t have enough. As soon as there is snow on the ground, I worry the cows will lay down […]
One month from now, we will just be working on the leftovers from our Christmas meal. So I’d better get organized–and fast. Every year my intentions are to be organized and to have things all dialed in. Alas, once again, I am a long way from that. I partially can […]
I guess my hopes of having a surprise “Indian summer” has past. And for some reason, this transition period to winter is difficult. It seems like you just cannot put on enough clothes (I’m certain I won’t feel this cold in the middle of January or February). The sun was […]
