For Our Troops......

Welcome!

Either you're searching for some information and stumbled across here, or already know me and are interested in what I/we do. :)

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.
--Joann Grohman (Author of Keeping a Family Cow)


There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)



A few of words of wisdom I have come across:


Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.


If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.

(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)


Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the AmericanGovernment take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."--Henry Ford

**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**

Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.

Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

When we know what we're fighting for, we fight harder--Sgt . Gary Stein (USMC)

THANK YOU!!!

Better weather, musings




The weather has been decent, drying things out--a welcome relief! I took more pictures of the puppies, now I can pretty much tell who is short-legged and who is long-legged! They are hard to corral, exploring here and there. That's ok until they decide they need to chew on something! (Long legged pups on the right, short legged ones below--they were freaked out over the camera flash.)

Tuesday (3/15) we bought a gooseneck flatbed trailer for cheap that needs some fixing up. Once it is done, I can get several round bales of hay at one time--YAY!

This morning I had to help Joshua, our ageing German Shepherd up. His left shoulder is getting worse and his hips aren't what they used to be. I watched him get up later, he sits up like a donkey and then heaves forward like a cow. I knew he was getting worse, but this just puts in in fast-forward for me. :(

Still no heat from Dolly, I have been terrible about getting blood drawn again to send in. The first sample came back inconclusive, but I say she is preggers. A blood test or palpitation will tell me for sure.

I also forgot to mention, a few weeks ago I got a "Thank You" note from the gal that had put the gas in her Diesel car. It made my day (week, actually!). It was so very thoughtful of her.
