Dividing the Pasture: First gate
One of the most laborious tasks of the rotational grazing on the two main pastures at the farm is running of the long center line fence. This takes a full morning or afternoon to move every time we need to move from the North to the South Pasture, or vice versa. The long bundles are… Continue reading Dividing the Pasture: First gate
A Winnie and Daddy day.
The big kids all got to go fishing with Deedee and Papa over this last three days, so Winnie was an only child for a few days. While she likes having Mommy and Daddy all to herself (she especially enjoys lying across both our laps for our evening Rosary) she misses her siblings when they… Continue reading A Winnie and Daddy day.
An Educational Post

The crust was browned and crispy all the way across the bottom, the apples were soft with just the right amount of crisp, the… Continue reading An Educational Post
Catch Up
We are a little behind on blogging. Holy Week and the Triduum were busy, plus the kids decided to start a little Strepidemic running through the house. So what can we say, it's been an off week. Happy cows are tasty cows! The willow and witch hazel in the pasture are starting to leaf out.… Continue reading Catch Up

Helping
Winnie is such a helpful baby girl. More than anything else, she wants to be intimately involved in every single thing Mommy and Daddy are doing. She starts out helping a little bit. Then a little bit more... Then finally she inserts herself right into the middle of the whole process, and "helps" even more.… Continue reading Helping
