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

AVERYS FUNNY VIDEO

This is so funny Avery had his sisters hat on. When he figured out she was video taping him man it came off fast. Listen closley at the end you will hear him say got me. I think we laughed fovever. Enjoy and have a great day. Rebekah

DAY WITH FRIENDS

We got to spend some time with friends yesterday. The kids all made t-shirts. In the following pictures is Kassandras shirt she made. I had my nieces overnight last night needless to say I did not get much sleep. I'm sure glad my kids are older. I'm definetly moving to a new season in life. I sure love them little girls but glad they go home at night. I will be going to market in the morning. The guys are busy trying to get there tractor ready for pulling at the fair. We have like only two weeks to fair. YIKES! I'm not ready where has the time went. Well hope everyone has a great weekend! Rebekah

DAY AT CHARLTON PARK

Love this picture! Don't get Avery smiling very often but it took me like three pictures before I got this.

We went to a picnic for farmers union today at a local park. They have a living history village which we got to go through today. Fun day spending time together as a family. Getting ready to do chores. As soon as we got home the hubby went right out to finish mowing hay. Hoping to bale Tuesday got more rain coming Wednesday. Have a great night! Rebekah
