Well, we finally got the rain that everyone was wishing for. From what I understand the amount varied along with nasty wind and hail. Over the weekend we received 58mm at EARS and 33mm at home. We also had more wind and hail in Emo and at the sales barn […]

Well, that week went fast. On Friday, we thought we were going to melt at the Emo Fair it was so hot, but it stayed pretty darn decent on Saturday for the 4-H show. We had some large classes so as our show grows like this, it takes a lot […]
It’s the Emo Fair week and I have such a big list, although I’m reminding myself that it is more important for Maddie and Marlee to have exhibits to display–not me. They are crafting like crazy. I’m sure every year we tell ourselves that we will try and not leave […]
What a great long weekend! I realize we all are looking for a bit of rain and a few places received some I’m hearing. I feel confident it will come–I just hope it doesn’t all come at once next weekend during the Emo Fair. The weather forecast looks sunny for […]
It was celebration time at my place on Saturday night! After a hard day of work, we finished our first cut of haying! It was a good feeling. We had both the square baler and round baler going. It was just like the good old days when we hayed all […]
The week of our annual soil and crop tour and open house has arrived. It is a bit of a bummer, though, because it is one of the signals that we are reaching the end of another growing season. Following this is a rush to be ready for the Emo […]
The middle of July has arrived. Time is just ticking along. The weather is mostly fabulous! We are down to our last 120 acres of hay but it will be a slow week since I will be out of town for a few days. I am somewhat looking forward to […]
I really enjoy my life and especially my farm life, but there are days I really wonder what I’m doing! And I’m certain this happens to others, as well. I do feel that some days the farm sucks the life right out of me. Even on the days I feel […]
I was fortunate to know and call Rachel Hill a friend. Myself and many, many others. Sadly, Rachel lost her battle with cancer and she was honoured with a beautiful memorial on Saturday right at her home. Most people who live longer haven’t conquered as much as this amazing, strong, […]
Some of us experienced some significant rain over the weekend and others not so much. At my house, we received around two-10ths of an inch but the Emo Agricultural Research Station got just over an inch. We also are working with a Ph.D. student who is doing some work on […]
With Friday being a P.D. Day, I decided to book off from work and prepare for sheep shearing as well as spend the day with Maddie and Marlee. When I booked it off, I didn’t realize I would be nursing two bunnies and bottle-feeding a few lambs. My mom has […]
That was a long weekend hard to beat! The much-needed rain came before most of us started our weekend and then we had sunshine for the rest of it. Unfortunately, dampened the Rainy River First Nations’ annual fish fry but the meal still was top of the line. Cliff Westover […]
