Victoria came over for a quick visit and I instantly put her and her three boys to work. Three and a half hours later… I have never had such raspberries! I’ve always done what they say… trim them back completely, trim them back partway, I would get a handful or two of berries. This winter……

Throwback Thursday: Yeehaw, v.2.0
This was first posted July 18, 2015. It was a close race between a tipi q&a post and this one with the grandkids in the kids rodeo. I absolutely couldn’t resist looking back on these precious ones! So… another long day, though very enjoyable and actually COOL. Yes, folks, I said, COOL. 99.9% of Kids’ Rodeo…

Another pasture gathered.

Recommend
I’m trying something new and thought I’d share. In my chicken coop, my nesting boxes are actually five gallon buckets. It’s a battle to keep straw in these buckets. Straw helps keep your eggs clean, plus it cushions them, because sometimes chickens are weird and they will lay standing up! But chickens being chickens, they…

Up Top
A few photos from the top of the mountain.

Throwback Thursday: Dig Deep, v.2.0

Wild Mountain
After drawing blood to test for pregnancy, it was time for the heifers to go be on the cool mountain. We take them to a leased pasture by semi. Well, at least partway. We unload them from the semis, and then it’s time to trail them across and down to their new pasture. Vernon and…

Cooked
After last week’s move of the cows to the Slope Pasture, the next day was to gather the heifers and pregnancy test them with a blood draw. I arrived late,thinking I was going to stack hay for the trailer to haul it out of the field. It looked like they were short handed, so I…
