I love Fall, I always have. Â I feel energized and at peace, anticipating the winter holiday season. Â I hate the heat of the summer so Fall is that breath of fresh air after cooped up air conditioning season. Â The colors, fog, and dew are the most beautiful during this time and makes driving pleasant. Â When […]

Tap, Tap, Tap; Is this thing still on?

I’ve been gone a long, long, LONG time from my dear friend that is this blog. It was such a comforting journal for me as well as a way to connect with friends and family, to express myself, and keep up with the happenings ’round here. So much has happened over the past couple of […]

Can I get an Amen?

Ed, Darren, Kenny, and I were all in the cow pasture, which now includes a raging hormonal bull, last night as we separated TBone and Moo out of the herd and moved them into the barn resulting in no injuries to bovine or humans. Â It’s a Good Thing. Â And now that I’m safely sitting at […]

Some farmers own the land they work and some get paid to work a piece of land while others get a “crop share” as their payment. Â We’re lucky to be surrounded on the sides bordering our little farm by some kind and hard-working farmers in whatever their capacity. Â These farmers have been patient with me […]

For Rhonda

I have this friend in California and she lives in the city. Â She’s a city girl. Â I love torturing her by describing the activities here on the farm and I especially love talking about how I am knee deep in shit every day because there’s just nothing better for Rhonda than to have a good […]

An actual conversation

I’m still not quite feeling totally normal but the good news is that I finished my monthly workload a week early so I have the days free until March 1 when my March workload will drop.

Life on the farm is a wonderful experience but during the cold wintery months, it can go all Shining on you in a snap. Â No one wants to get so isolated that you go down the path of Jack Nicholson’s character in that movie so it’s important to socialize in order to avoid that whole […]

Waves of snow
February 11th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Life on the farm, Uncategorized
We were recently treated to two solid days of snow falling and temps well below zero. Â It wasn’t fun. But it was pretty! We’d been snowbound for a couple of days, including Ed, because of the 2′ of snow on the driveway. We were all snug in the warm house but when I told Ed […]

Kansas City or bust!
May 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Life on the farm, Uncategorized
Well I’ve had a whirlwind trip to Kansas City in which it rained every. single. day. Thankfully our training was at the hotel so I only had to walk about 30′ to the training room. We stayed at a very nice suite type place so I was able to pick up a few things at […]
What’s wrong with this picture
March 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Life on the farm
I’ll tell you what’s wrong – the bull is in the horse corral. He’s not supposed to be in the corral. Really? I’m not supposed to be in here? What about in here? Can I be in the horse stall? After calling Ed in a panic because “the bull’s out!” I remembered that he’s just […]
