Lilac Jelly

Posted on May 30, 2025May 30, 2025

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…

Lost and Found

Posted on May 27, 2025May 27, 2025

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

Posted on May 24, 2025May 24, 2025

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

Posted on May 24, 2025May 24, 2025

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

Posted on May 20, 2025May 20, 2025

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

Posted on May 19, 2025May 19, 2025

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.
