Many of you still will be celebrating and visiting, and perhaps because of the weather, some celebrations will be extended! Although the weather didn’t co-operate, we certainly can feel lucky because it sounds like places around us were hit harder. If your visit was extended because of the weather, enjoy […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
We are moving quickly into that final stretch before the big day! I finally got my upstairs tree up on Sunday. But as I was dragging it in from the minus-34 temperature, and the needles and branches were following off, I did think to myself, “Why do we do this […]
Emo once again hosted a wonderful weekend of “Holly Daze!” The parade was just awesome! Maddie and Marlee each brought a friend along and this year with our “dog” theme, we not only tossed out candy canes but milk bones for all the dogs watching the parade! Marlee’s friend, Ella, […]
Winter has arrived in parts of Rainy River District but we still have bare ground here in Emo. No complaints, though, as it will be great if our farm yards get some frost into them before the snow falls. I did have to spend most of Saturday getting all the […]
Here we are the middle of November and still enjoying amazing weather! I realize this will be coming to an end but we certainly have had a good run. For instance, we unrolled bales and baled them into square bales this past weekend and actually were hot. Meanwhile, I’m feeding […]
November–who would have thought this! This weather is simply amazing. But then you have the people who just have to tell you,“We will pay for this” or “This will be added on to the spring!” Let’s just be positive, enjoy it, and hope it is just as nice on the […]
The Cloverbelt Local Food Co-op was here presenting how it could allow all of us to access more local food and even other items. I hope some of you were able to attend one of their sessions. If not, it works like this: items that are for sale are listed […]
Last week seems like just a blur. Our cereal performance data was due Thursday. Although I knew we were cutting things pretty tight, it all went bad when I went to enter the numbers and discovered our 1000 kernel weight machine was giving us false readings. There was no way […]
Though it was a damp morning here in Rainy River District on Monday, we sure cannot complain about the temperatures! It seems odd not to be dressing up in full outdoor gear. I even had to cut my grass again over the weekend—amazing! And my flowers are still blooming. I […]
A couple of my friends purchased a cabin on Off Lake and we went up to celebrate my birthday on Friday night! They have wanted a place for many years and they certainly made a great choice! We had a great time but because of the busy Thanksgiving weekend ahead, […]
Well, I’m hoping the sun will return again! I think we all enjoyed it much more than these dark wet days. We have surpassed normal rainfall amounts for September so I’m hoping that means October will be drier. I certainly need the sunshine to return in order to complete our […]
I checked the weather forecast Monday morning–in hopes of a warm, dry week–and it looks like we will have decent temperatures until the weekend. So enjoy this week and spend as much time as possible out in the sun. Nice days in the fall seem hard to beat. I’m hoping […]
