Mid-Week Meal

October 30, 2013

30 Oct

Bacon-Broccoli Alfredo Hmm wasn’t sure what to call this one as it’s kind of a throw together meal. Lots of my meals are like that, cause well ain’t nobody got time for otherwise round here and it helps keep me sane! Not sure I’ve mentioned before, but I am big on cooking extra meat on […]

Proof that house cleaning is Bad!

October 11, 2013

11 Oct

Most people Spring clean their homes……I Fall clean my home! Sad to admit, but it’s just the lifestyle we live: from about June to September, we don’t really live in our house. It’s mainly a dumping ground for the 5 seconds your inside in between jobs outside. Ok we also shower, sleep and eat there […]

The amazingly talented and super friendly Heidi Helser took these awesome pictures for us. Highly recommend her if you are in the area and in need of a phtographer, she rocks!!   To actually get […]

Blah!

July 12, 2013

12 Jul

Who gets sick in the summer time? Our whole family apparently! And Yuck, being sick in the summer time is the worst. This wasn’t any easy bug either! So we’ve been spending the last week with a box of Kleenexes handy for all of us! Irritating! It’s so much easier to be sick when it’s […]

This has to Stop, Now! Band together Women!

June 22, 2013

22 Jun

I’m not a big celebrity follower. But when this story popped up on my Facebook feed, I couldn’t help but be intrigued! I didn’t follow Kate Middleton’s journey to becoming a Princess, didn’t even watch the wedding, although they picked a great day, my birthday! 😉 But really isn’t that every little girls thought at […]

Up Yours!

May 14, 2013

14 May

Ugh I am behind on posts! This time of year takes a total toll on me, and it totally frusterates me! I have horrible grass allergies, and well I live on a farm where we grow our grass out for hay. Tall heading out grass = grass pollen = my worst nightmare. So from about […]

Mid-Week Meal

May 7, 2013

7 May

We have a lot of hamburger so I am always looking for recipes that include ground beef. You can only eat so many burgers before you get burned out on bbq, although I think my husband could argue that! So here’s one of my favorite quick and easy recipes. Favorite Sloppy Joe’s 1 pound extra-lean […]

Celebrating a Birth Day

April 30, 2013

30 Apr

Where did April go? I’m staring May in the face and truly wonder where the days go! But April for my little family is full of birthdays, no really all our birthdays are in April, so I think that helps to quicken the pace of the days! But as I celebrated my birthday just yesterday […]

Spring Cleaning

April 14, 2013

14 Apr

I hate cleaning, no really I completely loathe cleaning my home! There’s literally a million other things I would rather do and usually do end up doing, so my house is always in some sort of dissarray. Which is ok with me, it’s just how I am. And we spend most of our time outside […]

Dairy Farmer, Wife, Mama; I am passionate about my lifestyle and Guernsey Ladies.

Classification day for the Guernseys. Looking at e Classification day for the Guernseys. Looking at each cow individually her type (body) is evaluated. There are functional assets to how a cow is put together leading to a more productive animal. It also gives us important genetic information on how daughters of each bull are turning out. It’s an important day for registered herds. And just fun to have another set of eyes on the Ladies pointing out flaws and strengths.
…..We let the cows out to pasture! …..We let the cows out to pasture!
It looks and feel like Spring here. So guess what It looks and feel like Spring here. So guess what that means we did……?
Being at the mercy of Mother Nature is one of the Being at the mercy of Mother Nature is one of the hardest parts of farming. I’ve watched with almost envy as other parts of the nation flood with more rain than they can handle. While drought strikes and the west burns and we wish for any amount of rainfall. If only there was a way to balance it all get and give each region exactly what they need. But that is certainly not how Mother Nature, or life for that matter works. So we rejoice with our first recordable rainfall in months. With hope for what it can do for our parched pastures.
Bedtime rumble in the pasture. There is a definite Bedtime rumble in the pasture. There is a definite herd hierarchy with the Ladies. It’s fun to watch their personalities come out in different situations. The pasture is usually just for fun, but don’t put it past one of the older ladies like Farrah here to put anyone in their place.
Seriously can’t get over the incredible views we Seriously can’t get over the incredible views we had of the Northern Lights last night. We never see them in Oregon so this was a special treat! Even turned off the barn lights after this and headed out into the pasture to get an amazing view.

We’ve got another group of calves it’s time to register and give them their official names. Reminder of how this works. The first letter must match from the Mothers name below. For example Myrtle hails from our floral M family with Magnolia, Marigold, Mistletoe and Mallow currently in the herd (so break out your botanical knowledge!)

I know I’ve been pretty quiet in this space lately. But my favorite consequence of being in this social media space is the amazing people it’s connected me to like Cody from Foggy Bottoms Boys. A whirlwind spring break combo work trip landed us at their farm and then to @Jerseyscoops for some seriously delicious ice cream. These guys are doing amazing things and it’s so exciting to see their success. ... See MoreSee Less
