THOUGHTS FROM THE FARM

Well hello everybody I thought I would put on a new post well everyone is still sleeping. Got my hubby off to work this morning and just having some quite time. Not much went on this weekend. We headed out to church yesterday. We have not been in sometime because we really don't have a home church. It is also hard because my husband works on Sundays. His aunt and uncle came to visit yesterday and we had a nice visit. Today on the agenda is finishing up canning my carrots and re-canning some mushrooms I bought in big cans. Also we need to get all our stuff cleaned up where we had calf hutches. We moved the calves around and just left the extras there. I know winter is coming and if I don't get in gear before you know it there will be snow everything will be covered. When I need it then I will not be able to find it. The kids are not real happy campers when we have to dig through the snow to find things we need. From the sound of things when winter comes my husband is going to load us up on baby calves to take care of so better get prepared. The baby pigs are getting big and cute. We have gate panels up for there pen so they go out the hole on one end and back in on the other end. It is to funny they are so cute to watch. We lost one an have only two now. The other mommy should farrow any time. We are patiently waiting but are ready. Well hope you all have a great day. I will leave you with a verse and God bless. Rebekah

Picture Of Mom And Kassandra Baking

Was going to add these pictures along with my post this morning but for some reason would not let me. So here they are pictures of me and Kassandra baking apple pear crisp. Oh I love the things that come with fall. Nothing like the smell of fruit and cinnamon baking in the house.As you can see she loves to wear her aprons.

Busy Days

Well things have been busy around here for sure. Lots of harvesting going on around the farm. I'm still trying to get garden stuff put up. I plan on digging my carrots today canning them tomorrow. Canned my white grape juice yesterday. Let a friend come pick the rest of my tomatoes. She had a 126 plants and they all died. Me and my daughter are headed off to a friends house today so she can play with their little girl for a while. It will be a nice time of sitting for mom. Matt and Avery are headed out to a farmer we know today to help him put up his silage. Oh happy days of fall. Have a great day and God bless you. Rebekah.
