Although the weather could have co-operated a bit more for all the Canada Day celebrations across the district, it could have been a lot worse! As far as I know, all the events that were happening continued on despite the rain showers. Maddie and Marlee joined Charlie and Levi (the […]

I hope our summer isn’t over already but the forecast sure isn’t looking all that summer-like. Although many people thought we were too dry, last week should have ended most of those fears. On Friday, for instance, my girls had our big work truck stuck out in our tile drained […]
I love summer! I love the warm sunshine, the blue skies, and the green grass. I don’t like to be in the house on these days and you can tell–my housework is slipping. Our 4-H beef club was coming to my house Monday night and I hope they didn’t see […]
Yay! Summer has arrived. I really enjoy the heat, and we are getting plenty of wind to cool you down and keep the bugs away. We had 3.5 mm of rain at home on Friday night although the Emo Agricultural Research Station received 22 mm. Quite a difference. But even […]
Many are talking about needing a nice warm rain and how our mornings are still cool. Both are likely true, but I will take dry, cool days over wet anytime. It will happen–it always does. It is looking like tomorrow we will see some rain and the grass will grow […]
I think we all will agree our weather has been very pleasant lately. Everyone is rushing around with their gardens and lawns, and, of course, you will see the farmers getting out on their land by spreading fertilizer, doing fencing, and getting some seed in the ground. It is a […]
Here is hoping everyone enjoyed Easter weekend. The weather was decent for the most part and it was a great time to get outside! We tackled vaccinating all our cows, calves, and yearlings. Although it was a slow task (with slow-moving cattle), it was a job well-done! I had a […]
Our sales barn training day on Saturday seemed to be a big success. We had a great bunch of people show up and the weather was great! A big thank you to Aaron and Murray for bringing cattle to the barn and Melissa for bringing down her two horses. We […]
We celebrate my dad’s birthday on April 3 every year but this year he was turning 70! He did not want a big celebration but we did end up going out for a pizza Sunday afternoon. He was in his glory since the restaurant sold Nevada tickets and he won […]
The longer daylight hours and the sun shining certainly makes us all feel good! I really love the cooler nights and sunny days-it makes for a bit less mud in the yard. Mind you, my dad hauled in some hay for me the other day and it created a “soupy […]
Monday was the first day for 2017 at the Emo Agricultural Research Station (my time off always goes so quickly). I had plans to get caught up on the stack of farm magazines that I subscribe to. That didn’t happen, though at least I can shut the door of the […]
I’m sure you all will know how I feel about the wet weather we were experiencing Monday. We sure don’t need the rain. I was really hoping we would miss it. The temperature was mild enough but it sounds like we are in for a cold snap–and rather quickly, too. […]
