So much happened last week! Bradley and I finished combining spring cereals on Monday and when I came in, I saw that my boyfriend/partner had called. I knew that wasn’t a good sign. I returned the call to find out that I had a dead animal. I was shocked and […]

Well, we cannot complain about this incredible stretch of weather at all. The sun has been incredible and now with the harvest moon there is so much beauty all times of the day. As I look at the forecast there is some precipitation mentioned and it reminded me that there […]
How about this incredible weather? This is perfect working conditions. Breezy, sunny, and dry. There is still a lot of hay being made and many have been commenting on how great It is to still see some nice green standing hay. We have the later season to thank for that. […]
Well, I am double stressed out now with not being able to do nearly as much with one hand. I am sure my mom and Clayton are counting the days until my arm is somewhat more normal. My mom hauled me off to my Dr. appt Tuesday in Thunder Bay. […]
Well, another Emo Fair is behind us! It was a great weekend. We did get some rain but fortunately it wasn’t long lived, and the show continued. I have heard reports of record attendance! The cattle show was excellent!!! I am very proud of all our participants in particular our […]
I think my age is catching up to me. I normally could work well into the night but now I power down. It doesn’t help that last week was our first full week of good weather all summer and we were all making hay. What a huge difference it makes […]
I know I have mentioned before on what a great community we live in, but recently I was reminded once again! The thrift shop in Emo donated $2,000 to our beef clubs to help cover the costs of the abattoir and advertising. What a huge gesture that will appreciated by […]
Well, most time after the August long weekend we would be celebrating the end of haying. Not so this year. I would celebrate 3 or 4 days in a row without rain at this point. Our fields are wet, but we continued to cut. I thought we might have a […]
My story is like last week; we need better hay-making weather. The hay that I had cut a week ago on Friday was baled up this Friday and for the first time in my history of hay making, we were leaving ruts in the field. After checking the weather forecast […]
To be honest, I am a little bit stressed out and sad about the lack of hay I have made. I held off cutting until Friday night because we had three inches of rain at my place Sunday and Monday. The tires of the tractor are still wet going across […]
We are all happy that we have more hay to cut this year, but now the weather needs to co-operate to allow us to get it baled up! Last week, the hay was not drying quickly at all, and I was very frustrated. Finally, by Friday was able to bale […]
July has arrived and our long weekend is already over. Though the weather was decent for the weekend, I am still longing for those warm summer nights. Instead, we are still packing on sweatshirts and longer pants. I sure am counting on a long, beautiful fall. My mom and I […]
