I was told our days are getting a fair bit longer in the evenings and shortly we will start to see it change in the mornings. That always helps our too long of a winter! And even though it’s rather chilly today (Monday), the sun shining makes you (or at […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Here we are—already the middle of January! Time sure does go fast. I should be calving in one month so I need to get myself organized, stuff in place, and supplies ordered. My cows still are living quite contently in the bush and have been much happier these past few […]
Happy New Year! I’m thinking there are a few of us wishing for some warmer weather! I’m trying to stay positive because, yes, it could always be worse. But it could be a whole lot better, too. I’ve been battling with one water bowl during this cold snap—again. On the […]
As always, we plan and prepare much longer than it takes our special day to come and go! Here’s hoping everyone enjoyed themselves and got a belly full—the problem seems to be that our bellies continually get full! I overdid it on Christmas Eve so I had to take it […]
Many people spend hours cleaning prior to Christmas, including me. I wore out two toothbrushes and an entire bottle of “Mean Green” getting the grout in my tile all polished up. I lucked out with fewer walls to wash this year since I just finished getting fresh paint in more […]
I finally have copies of the Emo Agricultural Research Station reports available! I did leave multiple copies at Emo Feed, so you can pick one up there or let me know and I can be sure to get you one. Keep in mind that we already are planning next season, […]
Well, I was lucky enough to travel around the storm of last week. Not sure if I should say lucky or not–my family (mostly my brother) had me stressed out about travelling. I am still so tense in my neck and shoulder that I really need a massage! I was […]
Well, we’ve turned the calendar page to December–oh no! I really need to put my thinking cap on and start making a list of what I should be looking to buy for my family and friends. That is the difficult part for me–I’m not a shopper. It is one thing […]
Monday marked one month until Santa arrives! I wish I could say I was all ready for his arrival. I did start my outdoor lights but like many others, you put the lights away working and they magically don’t work as I pull them out of my numerous Rubbermaid containers. […]
It sounds like we missed out on the brunt of wintery weather once again after hearing how nasty road conditions were north of us. We likely would have had quite a dump of snow ourselves over the weekend had it not been so wet. Not sure what is worse? It […]
Most know that where I live and farm was my great-grandpa’s place, followed by my great uncles (Bud and Charlie is how they were known for their lives). Charlie fought in World War II but did not share many stories about this time as it was an extremely tough for […]
Well, for those of you who didn’t make the RRFA dinner and entertainment night on Saturday, you missed out on a great time! The board was very organized so the meeting portion passed quickly. And congratulations to Elaine Aveyard, who let her name stand to join the current board. Bernie […]
