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!!!

Lilacs are blooming (early!!)




Everything is blooming early, the Lilacs don't usually bloom until Mothers' Day in May. Not this year!

Their scent was a nice reward this week as we mowed and tilled and did work outside. (And boy did we work--but a little hard work never hurt anyone!)
Pat got some cherry tomatoes and I got them planted. We got more grapes, and gooseberry and a nice apricot tree. Now the hard part is figuring where we want it all to go!

This past week was a busy blur, I worked 6 days in a row, we had an open-house at work, boy I don't want to do that again anytime soon! What a ZOO! The world lost a total of 4 young people this week....and two I was close to--they came into the store quite a bit. A sad week, adding to the blur.

Sunday we had Pat's side of the family's Easter Dinner. Sure was good to see everyone, and the little ones always grow soooo fast--too fast!!

Kyle again is Mr. Busy, school, work, golf, band, practises....it's hard to keep up with him.
Jared had a jump this week (all went well) and bought a small kayak, he's been doing alot of fishing!

I am looking forward to getting things in the ground in the garden, and for things to slow down a bit. We got more rain and some hail...I could hear it 'zinging' before it hit the ground. Amazing how fast one can close a gate and get to shelter when you hear what is coming! ;)
