I’ve been meaning to try this for years, and after the success of my peony jelly the past two years, I finally was organized enough this year to attempt LILAC jelly! I grabbed a bucketful in a couple of minutes, but I didn’t quite use them ALL! Then came the tedious chore of pulling off…
Throwback Thursday: Lunch at 9:30 PM, v.2.0
This was first published May 30, 2015. Lunch at 9:30 pm means you’ve had a lonnngggg day. No puppies… Either I can’t count or Dally can’t… Took Eden and Lucas out to help about 11 am. Turns out they’d gathered most of our cows, which meant a loooooonnnnng time sorting and trailing and mothering up……

Bravo
Just because it’s late and it’s a good pic!
Lost and Found
Gardening and brushing out the dogs for summer… but, honestly, I’ve never had a cat enjoy the soft brush as well! This is the cat I assume someone dumped on me a few months back. Its name is Lost, because every time I asked if it was lost, it’d meow… So last week, Lost disappeared….

Delivery
We took delivery of some really big tire “tanks” the other day. These are cut in half, obviously, from what I assume are from mining equipment. It took some concentration to lift these off of the trailer. But one by one, they were unloaded. Plumbed in, leveled, with cement in the middle, these make for…
Testing
Time for the bulls’ annual trich test. Bulls that have been with any cows will be penned, a scraping taken from their penis, it will be added to a solution, and it will be sent off to a lab for testing. An eartag will be replaced with this year’s color and recorded. Trichomoniasis in cattle…

Cool Stuff
Cool stuff today! Daniel found this guy, Rian, to come spray a few of our fields for alfalfa weevil. Now, we have a sprayer, a three wheeled vintage sprayer, but it’s well, getting older. Alfalfa weevil will ruin your crop, so they must be handled as soon as you find them. Rian’s got a different…
Water Everywhere
We’ve been receiving fair amount of rain… another .67” today. While the weather cooperates and things are dry, we feel the need to accomplish things and mark them off our list. Yesterday, Vernon, Brandon and I pulled the pipe trailer out to the new solar project. If you recall, I told how we’d fought the…
