Lack of Knowledge

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….
Glory to God! The day went well, plenty of work done and all is good. House is warm, the outside isn’t and they’re talking maybe a snowstorm tomorrow in this neck of the woods. Well, let er come, I’m ready as I’ll ever be even [...]

Modern Family

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Mid afternoon here and the wind is howling out, more like a roar and there’s snow flurries, so does anybody wonder why I’m blogging in mid afternoon? Tad bit rough out there and I ain’t nuts. Do what I have to do and that’s it. I’ll be heading out in a few minutes [...]

Thinking Back

Monday, November 26th, 2007

“They’s a lot of changes. They’s as much difference in people now as they is in day and night. People don’t care for people no more like they used to. Used t’be if anybody got sick in the community, why people’d go see about ‘em, not just pass by. If you lived in our community, [...]

No Separation

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

The temperatures keep stepping down steadily in this neck of the woods. Looking at the forecast shows highs in the twenties this next week, a slight drop from what we’ve been having but I can’t see any big snows in site yet. Part of the cow herd continues to graze, the latest we [...]

Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Thanksgiving evening, cool out moon is up, no wind and wood smoke in the yard. Maple wood smoke, smells like when we smoke sausage only I’d have a rough time eating any sausage or anything else tonight for that matter. I’m stuffed and the funny thing was I didn’t think I ate [...]

Sunday Evening Chat

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

A tad bit gloomy out this Sunday but all went well despite that. Chores were completed without a hitch this morning and off to church we went. Or should I say returned to church after being there Saturday night too. Had a very good time that evening watching our DVD on the big [...]

A Calm November Evening

Friday, November 16th, 2007

The day is over with and a beautiful day it was for mid-November in central Minnesota. There’s more jobs for tomorrow of coarse but that’s another day. Hopefully we can wind down tomorrow without to many surprises around here, but you just never know. This has to be about my favorite [...]

How Far Down We’ve Come

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Last evening I had the privilege of watching the movie “Amazing Grace” at home here and I tell you, I sure was touched by that film. It struck me pretty deep how a man could take on impossible odds and basically change his society for the better in a big way. Plus being [...]

That Old Barn

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

I just spent the day finishing up a major fencing project, although not the hard type, just an electric over and through the swamps and brush and fields hoping to extend grazing around here till winter hits. Although if it’s like the last few years I should be able to have them graze for [...]

Late Fall Grazing

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Any and all field work is done around this place, well that is except for picking eight rows of corn I left standing in a small field down in the lowlands. Some Minnesota 13 that did pretty good despite the drought, that’s a low field so that explains why there was a [...]
