Self Indulgence

Friday, December 28th, 2007

The week is winding down and there really isn’t much to write about as far as the farm goes. It’s kinda on cruise, weather is mild, non eventful, just do chores and a few jobs and with the overcast skies all week the days are extremely short before it gets dark out. The [...]

Christmas on the Farm

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

The evening before Christmas Eve and it’s windier than the dickens out here in Central Minnesota! Had almost a white out coming home from church this afternoon. But the roads were good, at least when you could see them! And tomorrow being Christmas Eve means I’d better start considering starting my Christmas shopping. [...]

Tis the Season

Friday, December 21st, 2007

I guess we’re on the final drag coming into Christmas. All is well, the busy week is done and over with although I sure wish the church services were still going, but more on that in a bit. It’s a dreary type of a day and evening here, kinda foggy, a bit of [...]

Change of Emotions

Monday, December 17th, 2007

The one thing that I really hate doing is waiting and that’s what I’m doing tonight, sitting here waiting. Waiting for a phone call from the livestock truckers to set up a time for picking the calves up tomorrow. I hate waiting. The good part is that it doesn’t happen all to [...]

Busy This Week

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

This week will be a crusher of sorts around here with beef customers coming up from the Twin Cities tomorrow, loading out and selling calves at the salesbarn Tuesday and Wednesday, plus [...]

Ten Shekels and a Shirt

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

A quick note tonight as the week comes to a close. Sometimes what I’d like to say has been said much better than I could ever do in this lifetime already. This is the case tonight. The subject is about humanism, humanism that has infected the church. It affects all the church’s and [...]

Windy day around here, snow’s blowing over the roads, could get a little slippery in spots here and there, but that don’t matter all too much for us tonight cause we’re just sittin at home staying warm. Wood boilers are all fired up till around six tomorrow morning, cattle are all done [...]

The Parable Calf

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

This past week has been a hum dinger around here. As I wrote on my last post, we’ve been busy with church stuff all week and tonight, Praise the Lord I’m home, yee haw! Now I love being in church and all that, but it’s so nice to be home after three nights [...]

Winter in Church

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Things have changed a bit here the last day. On December 1st, yesterday we received snow. Now that’s the first time in a few years that we got snow that early. Of coarse that was “normal” years ago, but the past few years have been mostly open winters, (and drought summers), so maybe [...]
