Today a lot got done around here again, but this time it was finally around the farm yard instead of out in the fields. I was pretty refreshed today after a wonderful Sunday and even a Saturday evening with Pastor Josh and family stopping in for a visit that evening. Sunday’s service was [...]
Today was different around here. In three separate rains we picked up an inch of desperatly needed rain. And with the possibility of a bit more to come. Time to Praise the Lord!!! I can’t even think of anything to write except Praise! Yee Haw!!!
So I’ll unplug the old computer tonight, no need in frying [...]
Friday evening in the country, I just got blowed into the house by a dust storm when a thunderhead skirted a few miles north of use. All we got out of that was some wind, a lot of wind, but at least the dust got relocated……somewhere. But that’s just normal life around here. [...]
Writing on here has been a little rare as of late, busy here cause tis the season and the family and the farm have top priority. So a little update is in order.

A beautiful sunny day in the north land and more hay was cut again today. The acres are going down steadily and a couple of days behind the cutting come the raking and baling. At this point it’s going like clock work and the end is in site a few days from now. [...]
In this area of diversified small farms and little rural towns, things happen that the world cannot explain. The world brushes them off and the religious say it’s not so. But no matter what the world says, it happens anyhow. The simple people everywhere just don’t listen to the high and mighty, [...]
I’ve never seen so much hay in my entire life as this years first crop, and to think we didn’t have hardly any moister this year at all except for one slow four inch rain the end of April or so. Even the winter was open again, hardly any snow at all. [...]
I was able to come in a bit early this evening because we’re having little rain showers to cut the dust here. And there’s a lot of dust to cut! Getting a little on the dry side around here. We were going to bale hay today but had a breakdown with the [...]
