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 […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
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 […]
Another cattle sale is behind us and I honestly can say it was a tough weekend. It seemed whatever could go wrong did–maybe even times two! I finally crawled into my bed Sunday after 4 a.m. and I was still feeling it by Monday. Luckily, everything was fixed, solved, and […]
Here we are the middle of October and it’s a cattle sale week. I am crossing my fingers for a better week! “Roxee” is doing OK but we made a trip to the vet on Monday because the top of the bandage was slipping. I think she is more upset […]
I hope everyone was able to enjoy a nice long weekend. The weather wasn’t so great but otherwise I was feeling like we all had a lot to be thankful for. I tried to tackle a wee bit of housework but spent most of my time getting equipment put away […]
Well, Oct. 1 is here but I think it feels more like Nov. 1. We really need some sunshine–like a whole month or two of it. I just can’t believe how quickly things went to heck. I think we all were expecting the miserable weather to come and go but […]
Well, I hope all of you who were complaining about the drought and the heat are happy now! Me, not so much! I realize the rain was needed but we didn’t need to have so much at one time and it did not need to drop the temperature so much. […]
What a weekend! Sun, rain, and some crazy winds to dry things up again. At my house, we had just over one inch of rain but I’ve heard some had as much as two inches. Normally that would keep me from cutting the lawn but with the strong winds and […]
Here we go moving right into the middle of September! We always talk about how quickly the month of August disappears but I think the same can be said about September. We have a jam-packed list so the days rush right on by. A good number of farmers are a […]
September has arrived. Although I love fall (if it is warm and dry), I’m still a bit sad that summer is over. Time just passes us by. I just had three days off and I still didn’t accomplish all that I wanted. I always wonder, “Is it just me or […]
