At least once a week, sometimes a few times more depending if I need something or am just bored and want to go and shoot the bull I go to one of the local co-ops. In reality I kinda like going to them. They’re so different than city stores and such. You don’t [...]
Things are calming down a bit here today. There’s plenty of work coming up when things unthaw a tad bit, but for now I’m just trying to catch up with some of the odd jobs we couldn’t really get to in the sub zero weather. I took care of five beef customers today, they [...]
Glory to God! It’s warming up around here a bit! In the twenties today and it feels alright! The odds are that it should step up a level here and there as time goes on around here with higher lows at least. I just get sick of day after day of twenty below when [...]
Glory! With a little luck it might not be so cold around here coming up! I tell you, its been a rough one around here, sub zero cold, sometimes blasting winds with it, just plain rough. I haven’t been able to get to town to get packages for mailing out the seed corn till now. [...]
Oh Lord, winter just keeps its grips on us here. Reminds me of years ago when it durn near drove a man nuts! We had us a few inches of snow last night, the most since the very beginning of December. We were at church and driving home through the hills was down [...]
Glory! It seems like the brutal cold has begun to lose its grip around here and today was about ten above zero. Nice working weather today! I’m kinda hoping these cold spells start losing their punch from now on. Never before have I looked so forward to spring as I am this year and I’m [...]
The wind is howling outside as I write. The temperatures are plummeting and it looks like it might be a tad bit nippy tomorrow morning. The cows got two extra large bales of wheat straw to fill there bellies and keep them warm over night. But there’s something in the air even when [...]
Yesterday we started butchering steers around for the year. Started off butchering three yesterday, a small start but at least things are starting to get rolling around here now. The biggest surprise for me was how fast the butcher was able to come out here. I weighed the steers yesterday at a co-op nearby with [...]
Well, we got us a dusting of snow here today, but that’s about it. I tell you, we haven’t got any snow since the first week of December, makes me a little nervous with the lack of moister, but like the old timers say, it’s better to have a dry spell in the dead of [...]
I wrote this a few minutes ago for my Healing Waters blog. I decided to put it on here too. While a huge chunk of this country’s population calls this Super Sunday I have different things on my heart than filthy commercials and all the rest that goes with it. This has really been on [...]
