I'm sitting here watching the snow fly and hearing the wind howl. We hardly had any snow this winter and have had more snow and rain this April than all those months. We desperately needed moisture so I'm not complaining but I never remember ever having snow this late. I'm fairly certain we will...

We are picking up our German foreign exchange student on Friday. We are getting excited as we have never had one before and hope it goes ok. I'll have my own two in high school now too and hubby thought it would be fun. He is familiar with farming so that's good. He wanted to play soccer but...

Started this morning and so far have. 9/10". I don't know if it will help the corn but will help the beans and punkins. Been praying for a long time! Hallelujah! :banana:

The fair starts tomorrow. I don't particularly enjoy it but the kids do. I think most counties have some quirky or weird thing that defines it. Our sheep show has the rule that everything gets sheared on the same day ( around the beginning of June) and you cannot touch them again ever or you...

We paid $175/ton for old crop prettydecent grass hay. Alfalfa is bringing $200 and up per ton. There were 100 loads for sale and a whole pile of buyers. We hated to spend that much but just hope it's the high for the year. If it doesn't rain soon it won't be....

Started watering the punkins this weekend. We haven't had rain for weeks. They still look good (much better than the field corn) but there isn't much chance of rain in the future. We hooked a 1250 gallon tank on to a flat bed and we can do 3 or 4 rows with a tank. We hope it'll hold them till it...

Been here all week. Hotter than h. Yesterday kicked my butt. Today we show cow calf, bull and big heifer. Fireworks were crazy and awesome here

71 head today at the show. nice weather and good quality cattle. We brought home four neat hide covered stools. They'll look great in our house. We're looking forward to Jr Nationals in grand island

My son decided to show pigs for 4h this year so we bought 4 from a friend. They grew too fast for the fair so we brought 2 to the locker. They bought one and we kept one. We haven't butchered a pig in years and it sure tastes good! Chops on the grill and ham slices. Gonna try the bacon this morning.

It's been a great week- sunny days, not so windy, 80-85* degrees, ball games. hoeing was quite enjoyable. A few bugs coming but they don't seem too bad so far.

Daughter ( just finished 8th grade) has her first softball game of the summer today. She'll play shortstop so I'm sure she will see action. We've been practicing quite a bit and we got her a new bat -it's a composite material that sure works better than aluminium. I'm glad she likes softball, i...

After a hiatus, I'm back on the board. I'll have to catch up on all the happenings. Got my patch planted on May 1, around 10 acres of punkins etc, and 3 of red popcorn. Calves on the ground, busy kids, life is good. amy

Here are 3 About Time calves. The mothers are all related somehow (2 are the cows from our cow/calf pairs we've shown the past couple years). heifer calf ~~~~~ quit pickin' your nose ma! bull calf ~~~~~ bull calf

I love to read and so does my daughter. I probably average a book a week. The genre I like the best is suspense/thriller/action type books. Carl Hiaasen, John Sanford, Lee Child, and Robert B. Parker (just died last year, he wrote the Spenser books that led to the TV series with Robert Urich)...

Having a hella blizzard today so I decided to make some Christmas goodies. Made mint Oreo truffles. Coconut (Mounds) truffles, and praline candy. Now I need to hide them so they last til Christmas. Problem is, I'll know where I hid it! :santa: :santa: Kinda going stir crazy here. :banana:

sold some bred heifers yesterday at Dunlap. We had bought 9 SD Angus/AngusX heifers last spring to fill a pasture we share with our neighbor. We wanted herfs but we didn't have enough replacements ourself. Sold one of the 9 b/c we didn't like her and 1 was open when we pregged. Bred to our easy...

Went to the Iowa/Minnesota game this weekend. Unfortunately the team didn't show up. :help: Minnesota has a beautiful new stadium. It was a little chilly, but not windy so it was ok. Went to the Penn State/MN volleyball match too. Was going for Penn State and they lost too! (Those chicks are...

We had 3 hail storms this year. The first one hit the house and roof pretty hard. So we now have a "new" house. I was thinking the carpenters were too slow getting it done, but between the green wrapper and finished siding we had another hailstorm as bad or worse. Lots of people that had redone...
