Raining this afternoon. Kinda pretty really, being it’s the first real rain we’ve had here since our flood over a month ago. I’m still finding trash in the pasture where the creek runs through. Don’t think it’s from the folk up river, it’s looking more from what was washed out of the road sides and [...]
Looking at the weather forcast I’d say we’re just about done with the beautiful fall we’ve been having up here. About the only thing showing up on the forcast is yuck. Oh well, it’s been about as good as it gets so I’m not complaining at all. It’s about time for a little northern challenge. [...]
I think every muscle and bone I have is sore this evening. Just can’t wait to hit the hay in a bit. Three of us worked almost two hundred and fifty head of cattle today and that job can wear a person out. Even with our setup some of those stubborn old cows can really [...]

Things are moving along just fine so far this week here on the farm. Plowing is almost done for the season and I’m making wood almost every afternoon. The weather is holding, still beautiful here in central Minnesota. Frost almost every night, and the days are so fresh that it’s just a great blessing. Looking [...]
