NEW BABIES ON THE FARM

Well here are the new beef cow babies I talked about. We also have other new baby calves which I will post later. For now here are these two and we just love them. They are so cute and sweet. Lincoln loves it when you rub his neck for him. Lexi on the other hand is a bit wild,.

Here is Lexi

Lincoln doing what he does best eating. By the way this is his grandmother not his mother.

SOY CANDLES

We have 100% soy candles available for Christmas and the best part is they are only $5.00. They burn almost gone with virtually no waste and no black soot. We would be glad to ship them. Scents are as follows, waterfall, lemon chiffon, watermelon, lilac, love spell, apple pie, passionate kisses, cinnamon stick, cucumber melon, pine, baby powder, cranberry, peppermint and ecyulptus, lavender, lavender vanilla, very vanilla, Christmas hearth, blueberry pie, pumpkin souffle, strawberry shortcake, pineapple colada, fresh brewed coffee, orange clove, sunwashed linen, fudge brownie and gingerbread.

Things are starting to slow down here on the farm. The hubby and son baled the oats an we got 91 round bales. That is going to make some good feed for winter. I'm down to two markets a week. Been making soap and candles. Sure hoping to get alot stockpiled through the winter so I don't have to do markets an try to get things made. We had two new baby beef calves last week. They came kinda late so mama and babies are on my side with my animals. It was a mother and daughter that had them and they had them on the same day. The older mother is feeding hers and the daughters. They are so cute black and white. The kids are fighting over who gets the boy for fair. We named them Lexi and Lincoln. We have been getting some snow here in Michigan today. I'm ready for snow helps me get in the mood for Christmas but first Thanksgiving to celebrate all we have to be thankful for. Well that is all for know. Hope everyone has a great day. Rebekah

COMPUTER BUDDY

Thought I would share these picture. Every time I sit in my chair it is a given combine has to get up and lay on my legs. I'm so glad he was spared when going through the combine he is so sweet and we all love him lots. He definitely is a spoiled kitty. I'm taking the day off and going to visit with a friend today and the daughter will get to play with her friend. So looking foward to this day. Hope you all have a great day. Rebekah

CHOPPING SILAGE

Well hello everyone we have one more job accomplished here on the farm. That would be we have our silage bags filled for the year. It is so nice to know we have feed for our animals to last the year. We might cut hay again but that has not been decided for sure. The next job will be harvesting corn and beans.

We got rid of some pigs Wednesday that was sure a relief. We have just a few now enough to supply people with pork. Our meat has been selling great at the farmers market. We are very glad to be able to provide people with quality meat from our farm to their table.

I had a day off of farmers market last week for labor day. I was able to get 55 candles made.

The kitty we found in the combine is growing big and doing great. He is definitely the hubby's cat he spoils him so bad.

I will be holding a giveaway within the next two weeks consisting of the things I have made. It will be a soy candle, lotion bar, a bar of goats milk soap, bath salts and a crocheted washcloth.

Hope you all have a great week. Blessings from the Hoover farm to your home. Rebekah

LIFE ON THE FARM

Hello everyone, Well life has been busy here as I'm sure life is busy with everyone else. I will try to bring you up to speed with what has been going on here. Last week was fair week and boy that was a whirlwind. The kids had such fun did not win much but that does not bother my kids. They feel they get to go have fun with friends and sell their animals. For them that is what it is really about. Avery did place 6th in showmanship out of 23 kids so that was great. I was so proud of him but then he is used to working with cattle so guess he should be a natural. I will post pictures of them at fair soon. Back home and the work starts right back in. I started right back in at market as soon as we were done with fair. The garden was also waiting with a bushel of green beans. Now to get them canned in all my busyness. We are now selling packaged beef and pork raised from our farm. It is so neat to be able to sell our own products. The new chickens have started laying eggs and I'm so excited about that. Hubby just got done with the fourth cutting of hay. Now it is time to chop our corn silage. We are so blessed to be able to raise all our own feed for our animals. Well guess that is about all in a condensed version. If I gave you the full version of all that has been happening here on the farm I might be typing all day. Have a blessed Sunday. Rebekah
