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!!!

Snow then Mud


We got over 4 inches of snow about a week ago.  This is what one of my electric fence gate handles looked like!  Then it warmed up to melt much of it, which was nice. 
But that also creates one hazard:  Boot-Sucking-Mud.  Mud that is thick, gooey and can purt-near pull your boots right off your feet.  It makes one choose their steps carefully! :)

We got a bit of rain last night, and it's super-windy today making it feel alot colder than it really is.  There is a big snowstorm north of us; I'm just glad we didn't get it (nor the one that hit the east coast)!

Daisy had some opaque "goo" yesterday.  It's a pregnancy thing--nothing alarming.  I know it's just a matter of time before she starts to create more and more as she gets closer to calving. 
Today (again) I felt the baby moving around in her tummy.  I think it was either trying to swim laps or thought it was on a trampoline--it was boing-boing-ing off my hand! :)

Jared was in the field this past week, and it was rainy/crappy/cold and they wouldn't let them use their rain gear.  So of course now he is sick.  Chandra has a cold as well.  But both are feeling better, which is good!

Kyle called a week ago Sunday for a bit, they didn't have much phone time.  Today he called and got to talk much longer. 
He's making all sorts of plans for after Graduation, some made me giggle.  ("More civilian clothes"--he already has enough shirts to clothe 4+ people!) HA 
I mailed him his Vida (PS3) per his request--but lets see if he actually gets it, or how long it takes them to give it to him.  (I know it was delivered there.....I love tracking numbers on packages!)  :)
