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!!!

Lots o' Rain

Giz chewin' cud--his nose is dirty because he was playin' in the mud!

Monday we got 1/4" inch of rain, and the same Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Thursday it was sunny most of the day, then about 5 it poured and poured. We got around 1/2", but it seemed like more than that!

Obviously I made it over to Butchs'--it was good seeing him! The cows and calves looked good, and the 2-month old heifer sure is a cutie! I told David to keep her as a replacement, and he asked: "Why, 'cause you think she's cute?!" HA
This photo isn't the greatest of her:



Saturday I mowed the front lawn and half of the back yard. Pat got the tiller going and after about 5 feet of tilling, it made a loud noise and sparks flew out of the muffler. Ahhhh it's toast, the motor froze up. So for now it will sit until it's final fate is decided. Good thing the neighbors have a nice rear-tine tiller we can use! :)

Sunday Pat had clean up day at the Black Powder range and I puttered around cleaning up the yard, enjoying the weather.
Kyle was gone Friday and Saturday to All State band and then worked on Sunday.
Jared went fishing Friday and Saturday and managed to get sunburned. He said he slept "alot" on Sunday and took it easy.

The Pear Tree is blooming!
