Just got back from shopping at the local co-op. Had to pick up some stuff for around here before it closed. Also I listed a couple cattle to get butchered and wouldn’t you know it, the first available date is the last week of November. Around here every small town practically has [...]
This had to be the nicest day in quite a while. Sunny and no wind, the no wind being the kicker! The Box Elder bugs are doing real well too. They’re still all over the outside of the buildings in the sunshine and I even brushed one off the brim of my hat [...]
The wind is howling through the pine trees in the yard this evening, coming from the north west, a slight change in weather happening. I can’t complain though because this has been a week of catching up with all the normal October jobs around here. I hauled in sixty five large round [...]
I’m sure some readers here have forgotten a lively exchange of blogs and replies that took place here about a year ago regarding a new term for organic or “naturally†raised products. I proposed “Authentic Agriculture†at that time and have promised a website devoted to promoting a biblical worldview of agriculture. Well, [...]
It’s trying to dry out today, had us a bit of a breeze and some sunshine for once. Got a little plowing done today and fenced in around ten acres to let some cows graze. I’m using the reserves this year so the hunters aren’t going to have many places to hunt, but [...]

A little over a month ago I wrote a post titled “Beyond the Walls”. It was about a farmer bachelor that had died, a person that belonged to our little church. I wrote that post before the funeral. Ever since the funeral life hasn’t quite been the same. It’s not the fact that [...]
Was in town today about twenty five miles away getting some supplies for working calves this coming Saturday and it was sure a pretty trip this time of the year. The main fall colors are past but there’s still enough God given beauty to keep a person in awe during the whole [...]
